We would like to give a brief safety update as we continue to receive snowfall throughout the region. Please be mindful of our buses on the road, as they work to safely transport our students to and from school. When buses stop to pick up students, please adhere to the stop signs and bus lights, as it becomes difficult to see students with snowbanks on the side of the road. We want to ensure the safety of our students and families who are waiting with their children.

The New Hampshire Jazz All-State Festival and Scholastic Art Awards are both this weekend at Pinkerton Academy with plenty of representation from Alvirne High School. Congratulations to all nine of Alvirne's musicians, Jackie Coleto, Alivia Ferdinand, Madelyn House (selected but unable to attend due to illness), Madison Hyman, Darian Lindsay, Meredith Pomerleau, Aniya Sheppard, Antione Sheppard, and Edison Tan for their selections. And congratulations to all five artists on having their pieces displayed as part of the art awards, Brym Burns, Mayah Davio, Nya Morgan, Ryder Wanamaker, and Sloane Whaley. A few of those pieces can be seen in the images below.

 

The district's Director of Music, Rob Scagnelli, would also like to recognize all the teachers who helped make this accomplishment possible:

 

Mike Gallagan, Maria Oakley, Megan Crockett, and Kaitlyn Abbott-Rose from Alvirne

Becca Crivello, Mike Seckla, Brad Smith, and Brianna Stevens from Hudson Memorial

Lisa Hansen and Margaux Thibeault from Hills Garrison Elementary

Kirsten Mohring and Maura Zaccaria from Nottingham West Elementary

Katherine Holder and Stephanie Brooks from the Early Learning Center

The Nate Morin Memorial Blood Drive is set for February 18 from 1-6 pm in the JROTC room at the Palmer Center at Alvirne High School. The public is welcome to the event, and anyone interested in giving blood can reserve a time slot at redcrossblood.org and type "Broncos" in the search bar.

The latest Food & Nutrition Services Wellness Minute blog entry is here! Read the entry below to learn more about the best ways to stay active during these cold months and visit the Food & Nutrition Services web page to read every blog entry.

 

"Keeping kids active during the cold winter months can be a fun and rewarding challenge. Encourage indoor activities like dance parties, obstacle courses, or yoga sessions to keep them moving. Bundle up and explore the outdoors with activities like sledding, building snowmen, or going for a brisk walk. Remember, the key is to make physical activity enjoyable and a part of your daily routine. Not only does it help burn off energy, but it also promotes a healthy lifestyle and strengthens family bonds. Stay active and have fun!"

To help keep our former students connected with current happenings and to build their professional networks, we're starting an email newsletter! It will aim to include news and updates from around the district and highlight different members of our alumni network.
