The Northwood Elementary School will again be hosting its annual Open House/Kindergarten Registration for students entering Kindergarten in the fall of 2013. This year’s Open House will be held on Friday, May 17th at the elementary school in Northwood.  Parents of incoming kindergarten students are encouraged to pick up a registration packet in advance if possible from the main office at the school and bring all registration materials to the Open House.  Materials required are proof of a current physical, updated immunization records, and a copy of your child’s birth certificate.

 

The office will be contacting parents about setting up times to come in to the school throughout that day, so when you pick up a packet, please be sure to be put on the Open House schedule.  The entire event will take about 30-45 minutes and will include some informal activities for the students while parents will be given the opportunity to briefly meet Mrs. Lisa Magnusson, kindergarten teacher, and the current administration – Mr. Richard Hartford, Principal, and Mrs. Lisa LaBella, Assistant Principal.

Northwood School Wellness Committee Wraps Up

Another Successful Year Of Promoting Fitness

Northwood Marathon.jpg

On April 13, the Northwood School Marathon Kids participated in the final event organized by the Northwood School Wellness Committee. For the past two months, some students, staff and parents, have been running or walking together Wednesdays after school. In addition, participants logged their running miles during the week. After having completing 25+ miles, Saturday they completed their final mile. Afterwards students played games organized and run by some Coe-Brown students, along with Mrs. Jennifer Cox.  

 

A huge thank you to them and to the parents: Mrs. Annette Smith, Mrs. Amy Tkaczyk. Mrs. Mary Bulger and school staff: Mrs. Tamara LaMontagne, Mrs. Beth Benham, and Mrs. Linda Kramas who assisted each week on our Marathon Wednesdays. Also, thank you to the Northwood PTA who donated healthy snacks and water to the runners.  

 

A logo contest was held earlier in the year and Julia Sommers’ design was chosen to be the marathon logo. Tee-shirts designed with this logo were given to the runners, thanks to a grant donation from the Walmart Foundation.  This is the second year that the Northwood School Wellness Committee has had this program for all students and this year there were more than 40 participants. 

 


 

Advent Christian Church To Host Special Media Presentation

 

The Church in the Narrows, at 113 School St. will host Rev. Clint Taber and his media presentation on Living In Perilous Times on Sunday April 28 at 10 am.

 

People the world over are scanning the horizon looking for some ray of hope. A mood of skepticism, fear and anxiety hangs over our society like a dark cloud. Things are not working out. Some are even wondering if this is a signal that the world as we know it is about to end. 

 

A generation ago optimism about the future began to soar as we realized the consequences of reckless warring with weapons of mass destruction could result in global genocide.  This was a time to dedicate ourselves to peace and to improving the quality of life for all mankind. But nothing that is happening gives us much confidence for the future. Random acts of violence like the bombings at the Boston Marathon, a global war on terrorism, and crises in the Middle East all serve to remind us that we are living in perilous times.

 

Clinton E. Taber of Kittery, Maine will be at the Northwood Narrows Advent Christian Church on Sunday morning at 10 am to address these concerns. Taber has been a pastor, teacher, college administrator, musician and bible student for over 50 years. He will deliver a message illustrated with computer generated graphics on the subject “The Triumph of the Kingdom of God.” In this message he will demonstrate how the failing kingdoms and governments of men will soon be replaced with the eternal Kingdom of God at the Second Coming of Jesus Christ.

 

The public is invited to attend the service which begins at 10 am.

 


 

Letter

Lead cinch?

 

One of the great pleasures of living within ear-shot of Jenness Pond is to hear the loons calling.  You can, too, at “Cornell bird calls.” But it’s not quite the same.  

 

Later this month, the NH House considers a bill that passed in the Senate unanimously which will help preserve this New Hampshire Advantage for generations to come. SB89 continues to tighten the restrictions on fishing tackle using lead, forbidding lead jigs (weighted hooks) of an ounce or less.

 

This would seem to be a minor matter, but since 2000, 52% of the documented loon deaths in NH were caused by lead jigs.  So who could oppose such common-sense legislation and on what grounds?

 

It turns out that the NH Bass Federation – representing the fishermen, not the fish, I assume – opposes this measure because, according the Concord Monitor (4/16/13) “non-toxic alternatives…are harder to find and more expensive.”  Of course, the first is true because the law hasn’t passed! But if you stop by Heritage Hardware, you will find that all of the sinkers are non-toxic. So how hard can it be to make non-toxic jigs?

 

As for expense, I’ve been a Lake Host on Jenness Pond for years, checking to prevent milfoil from being carried into the lake on bass boats.  I figure that a guy driving a $40K pick-up towing a $15K bass boat on the $3K trailer can afford an extra couple of bucks for a non-toxic jig.

 

So I hope that the House – and our representatives, Maureen Mann and Bruce Hodgden – will pass this bill. Let them know what you think.
