Any questions, please do not hesitate to ask.

TOPS News
Submitted By Terrie Azotea
At TOPS this past week, we had an awesome weight loss. Our Best
Losers of the week were Kay and D.W. Great job ladies!
This time of the year it’s hard to stay on track...wait a minute,
who are we kidding? It’s hard all year long because there is always
something going on with food.
In the winter, we deal with the holidays and all the parties that go
around and then in the summer we have the cook-outs. I don’t know
about everyone else, but this summer I have had something going on
every weekend and we all know that food is involved with it. Right?
What’s a party without food? I don’t know; never been to one! That’s
why it’s good to be accountable for what we are putting into our
mouths. I know that facing the scales on a Tuesday night helps me.
We got our points for the first week of our new contest, the Green
Beans vs. the Peaches. Good job Peaches. Keep up the good work!
Our contest consists of keeping on track with our water, exercise,
food journal and weigh in. We had an auction with some nice stuff
going around. We try to always have something going on that keeps us
busy.
If anyone is interested in meeting new people and seeing what we are
all about, come see us on Tuesday nights at the St. Stephen’s Church
on Main Street in Pittsfield at 5:30 for weigh in and at 6:30 for
our meeting.
Any questions please call Laurel Tiede at 269-8721 or Pat Smith at
435-5333.
Thought for the week: Why you eat and how you eat are more important
than what you eat. Hope everyone has a great week and see you
lighter next week!
Children’s Literacy Organization Partners With Pittsfield Elementary
School For Innovative One-Year Program
The Children’s Literacy Foundation (CLiF) has created a new literacy
program called CLiF’s Year of the Book that will benefit the
students of Pittsfield Elementary School and five other elementary
schools in New Hampshire and Vermont over the 2012-2013 academic
year.
CLiF’s Year of the Book provides more than $20,000 in children’s
literacy events, support, and brand-new books to each school for one
school year. In addition, every child in the participating schools
will be able to select and keep 10 new books.
The program is designed to supplement existing literacy programs at
schools that have a significant percentage of students who score
below state standards on reading and writing tests. Schools also
must have a high number of students who qualify for free or reduced
lunch.
“We are excited about this new program offered through CLiF. Our
hope is that it will keep the students excited about reading and
that they will continue to see the value a good reading foundation
will provide throughout their lifetimes. Some of our students will
be receiving their own book for the very first time! We are really
delighted that this program will help us get books into the hands of
the students!” said Susan Kinney, Library Program Coordinator at
Pittsfield Elementary.
The new yearlong program is part of a new CLiF initiative to excite
kids about reading and give them reasons to do it on their own for
fun. Working directly with the students, school staff, and parents,
CLiF hopes to make reading a part of each child’s everyday life.
“Until recently, CLiF offered programs on an individual basis,” said
CLiF Program Director Suzanne Loring. “We hope to have a greater
positive impact on children by engaging them more regularly with a
variety of activities and literacy support.”
CLiF is a non-profit organization with a mission to nurture a love
of reading and writing among children throughout New Hampshire and
Vermont. CLiF has provided inspiring literacy programs and free,
brand-new books to more than 130,000 low-income, at-risk and rural
young readers and writers in almost 400 communities across the Twin
States.
CLiF does not receive any federal or state funds for
its programs. It relies solely on the generosity of individuals,
local companies and foundations. To find out more about
CLif or make a donation, please visit
www.clifonline.org or
contact CLiF Executive Director Duncan McDougall at 802-244-0944 or
