Letter
Attention Gilmanton and Belmont Junior High School girls. An
opportunity now exists to apply for a scholarship to the 73rd
session of American Legion Auxiliary Granite Girls State. This
is an all expense paid week-long event to be held June 25- 30 at St.
Anselm’s College in Manchester, N.H. The cost for this event
is $425. $50. nonrefundable fee to be paid by the applicant
and the American Legion Auxiliary Ellis-Geddes-Levitt Unit #102 of
Gilmanton is proud to fund the remaining $375. for one lucky
applicant.
Granite Girls State is a week-long immersive learning
experience held on a college campus where girls live in “cities”
within the dormitory. Through a nonpartisan curriculum, students
assume the roles of government leaders, campaigning as “Federalists”
and “Nationalists” to become NH mayors, county and state officials.
They learn the important lessons of democracy, patriotism, love,
loyalty, learning, truth, and service. They learn the duties,
privileges, rights, and responsibilities of American citizenship.
The learning, experience, memories, and friendships last a lifetime.
For more information and to obtain an application, see your
guidance counselor. Applications must be received no later
than May 4, 2017.
Raelyn Cottrell, President
American Legion
Auxiliary

Gilmanton School PTA Flocking Flamingos!
The Gilmanton School PTA
is back at it again with it’s flocking flamingos! Our annual event
started last week and there have been sightings in Gilmanton, both
in the classroom and in the community!
Last year, our generous
community flocked almost 70 homes in Gilmanton. This FUNdraiser
helps supplement Gilmanton School students’ curriculum and enrich
their educational experiences. The funds raised by the PTA help fund
programs such as our artist in residence and our classroom
naturalist. They also help fund field trips and so many other
things!
These activities are extremely important to our
children’s educational enrichment. If you are interested in putting
some pink birds on your students, family or friend’s home (in
Gilmanton only) please send us an e-mail at
[email protected]
and our flocking technicians will get the job done! Have they
migrated into your yard or classroom
