Self-defining moments

NHTI graduation

Looking at the long line of graduates snaking around the NHTI campus yesterday morning, Jared DeGraffe shook his head. "You sit in the student center and watch the people go by, it can feel like you see the same people all the time. It makes me feel like it's a lot bigger than I realized," he said. DeGraffe… 0

Students learn from 'Bully'

No one gets stabbed with pencils on the school bus. None of their peers has committed suicide to escape taunts and teasing. But that doesn't mean there's no bullying at Bow High School, ninth-graders said yesterday, after a field trip to watch a controversial documentary. The film, Bully, follows the lives of five families struggling with school bullying and its aftermath, including… 0

Senator retries school district treasurer issue

Concord's state Sen. Sylvia Larsen made a second attempt yesterday to pass legislation that would align state law with the newly passed Concord School District charter. Larsen attached language allowing the district to appoint its treasurer - a measure the House killed Tuesday - to a bill the House passed, allowing parents to withdraw their children from health or sex education… 0

School voucher system approved

After several rounds of editing over the course of the past year, two bills creating a business tax credit and educational voucher system passed by veto-proof margins in the state House and Senate yesterday. The bills are almost identical, but the difference in how many applicants to the voucher program will be subject to means-testing will be hashed out in a committee of conference.… 3

School officials vexed by lawmakers

Local school officials and state legislators said yesterday that they were surprised, disappointed and frustrated - and without a clear path forward - after the House voted down a Concord-specific piece of legislation. The proposal, which passed on a voice vote in the Senate in March, would have allowed the Concord School District to continue appointing its treasurer, as the district… 3

'Listen to the little voice'

New England College Graduation

Despite clear blue skies above, the graduates didn't toss their caps at the end of commencement yesterday at New England College in Henniker. Philosophical speeches and a tribute to a lost classmate had them in a contemplative mood. They let the gentle wind shower the crowd with pink cherry blossom petals instead.… 0

5 Questions with Erik Forsten

TEN-YEAR-OLD Erik Forsten says he wants to be a biologist when he grows up. But if he changes his mind and wants to be an inventor, he can say he's already got experience. Erik, a student in the fifth grade at Concord's Broken Ground School, entered a contest earlier this year with his Science Club. The challenge: Design a package for a toy or other product that will never… 0

Saving mothers

The pregnant women who till the soil and plant the seeds will not be there to gather the harvest. The small garden will feed other women like themselves later, women who stay at the house in Nohana, Lesotho, for two or three weeks, waiting to give birth. By donkey, by horse, or more often, by foot, they have trekked… 0

The topic at hand

Hi Sail,
You've mentioned here and a few times before that you think this work should have been before. Since I don't have a time machine, I can't help with that. I would love to know what you and other members of the community think of what's being talked about now, though.

Workforce housing and off-street parking at Rumford School, elderly housing or NHTI's art program at Walker. Tonight, I expect we'll hear more about possible high-end condos in Dewey School. What do you think? Good idea, bad idea?

Rookie mistake
By Sarah_Palermo - 08/31/2011 - 10:50 am

dt05034, Thanks for pointing out my error; we've fixed the location of Dame School in the online version of this article already. I am pretty new to town, and confused Dame with it's former sister school, Eastman. Won't happen again, I assure you. Have a good day,
Sarah
