Veteran Benefits Class

As part of their continuing schedule of outreach/community events, your VFW department service office will be conducting an informative class concerning benefits widows of veterans are entitled to submit VA claims for, after the loss of their veteran spouse. 

The event will be held with the Joseph J. Jeffrey Memorial Post #7217, at the Northwood Community Center, 135 Main Street, Northwood, NH 03261, on Saturday, November 9 from 12 noon to 2 pm. 

All Veterans are invited and encouraged to attend this event, which is designed to help those they leave behind have a better understanding of what potential benefits are available to them, and how your VFW department service office can assist you with submitting claims to the VA. 

Veterans do NOT have to be eligible for membership within the VFW to attend this class… If you are a member, or are considering becoming a member of our veteran’s organization, a portion of your membership dues helps to fund community outreach events like this one, and enables the service office to continue to assist veterans and their widows across our state in navigating through the VA claims system.

October 24 – 26, 2013

CBNA Students Gwyneth Horne (left) as Antipholous of Syracuse and Ryan Wadleigh (right) as Dromio of Syracuse rehearse a scene from Shakespeare’s The Comedy of Errors

Antipholus of Syracuse has a twin, Antipholus of Hollywood. Dromio of Syracuse, his servant, has a twin, Dromio of Hollywood. The twins were separated at birth and have never met. Today… they are in the same city. In a town like Hollywood in the silent movie era, events like these can only lead to confusion. Coe-Brown Northwood Academy Theatre is proud to present Shakespeare’s classic farce The COMEDY OF ERRORS on October 24, 25, 26, 2013, at 7 pm in the Gerrish Gym on the CBNA Campus.  This hilarious story of mistaken identity and wrongful accusation is sure to please.  The action will be transported to the early 1920s, to Hollywood, a land of glitz and glitter and movies, movies, movies.  A cast of 28 students will populate “Tinseltown” including seniors Grace Axelrod, Taylor Bowden, Jessica Cedrone, Shane Chittum,  Samantha Corwin, Jessica Gallant, Gwyneth Horne, Allyson LaFrance, and Anna Leclerc; juniors Olivia Anatone, Jillian Burrows, Sophia Chartier, Julia Collins, Rachel Dallaire, Hannah Grady, and Colton Rush; sophomores Janais Axelrod, Jessica Cooper, Jared Neal, Emily Therrien, and Ryan Wadleigh and freshmen Cassandra Barnhart, Elizabeth Bisson, Lauren Burrows, Camryn Chick, Joe Guptill, Arianna Jones, and Kelsey Wallace  The production is being directed by faculty member Elizabeth Lent with assistance from faculty member Kolby Hume.  Reserved tickets are $8 for adults and $6 for students and seniors and will be available by calling 942-5531 ext. 237 or by email at [email protected]

Northwood School Holds CPR Training For Staff

On October 11, five staff members spent their professional workshop day becoming certified in CPR, AED use and emergency first aid.  Kelly Brown, Speech Therapist, Jen Lenharth and Nancy Reeves, 7/8th grade teachers, Hope McConnell and Julie Doiron, paraprofessionals, now hold the certification, which is valid for two years.  The instructor was Beth Benham, RN, Northwood School nurse.  The five join 11 others that were certified a year ago during a professional day.  Mrs. Benham hopes that the majority of staff members will eventually attain and keep up certification as well.  She commented, “Several people have told me after the training that though they were nervous about the class at first, they felt much more comfortable after the training.  There’s a lot of chance to practice hands on skills and that empowers them to feel they really could help someone in an emergency, either here at school, at home or out in the community.”
