NH PTA Summer District Meetings
Good Evening,
How did we do? What can we do better? What did you like the most? What are your thoughts about HR # 5211 and Family Engagement in Public Education? Is this something you thought was in place already? Are you surprised that NH does not have a policy on Family Engagement? Will you and your school be an advocate for a policy in NH?
Once again thank you to everyone who attended your summer district meeting. It was our pleasure to meet all of you during our travels throughout the state.
To Kristine; Thank you, thank you for all that you do for the Local PTA Units and Members of NH PTA and the Board of Directors of NH PTA.

National PTA Training
Good Afternoon,
National PTA Training is completed for this session. The weekend was full of exciting programs and future developments.
On a personal side I was able to see my nephew Jason whom I had not seen in 6 years. We had a nice time talking and seeing each other.
Ian and I are trying to make our way home. My flights are running on time , however Ian's are another story. His are 3 hours delayed; therefor, he is unable to make his connection in Detroit. What does this mean? I have to get a room in Manchester, and wait for Ian to get back on Monday afternoon. So much for trying to save money for National by sharing a ride to the airport.

School Day with the Manchester Monarchs
Good Evening;
You might remember last week I attended a meeting with Comm. Barry of NH DOE and the Manchester Monarchs. Exciting news for Middle Schoolers. This year on November 17, 2010 at 11:00 am, the Manchester Monarchs will host the first Monarchs School Day at the Verizon Wireless Arena. This event is a sign of the Monarchs commitment to New Hampshire's youth and their education. To say that it will be fun is an understatement, the idea of creating a educational experience for students across the state by utilizing the exciting game of hockey as a tool to teach Science, Health, Math, New Hampshire's History and more.
Information is being sent to Principles of all Middle Schools in New Hampshire prior to the start of school year.
Hope you are having a great Summer.
