Drop by for a visit, you will be glad you did.

Letter To The Editor

 

It’s interesting that a school district such as ours will spend more than $3 million on special needs students, going over budget $528,000 but not an extra dime on gifted and talented ones. So, a student who has a shot at curing cancer or developing an alternative energy source is pretty much on their own unless the parents have money. It is entirely possible that we could buy every student at Northwood school a new laptop computer for less money than the cost for one year of one residentially placed student who will never ever have a job. I wonder why every time I need technical assistance I have to talk to a person who I can hardly understand for help. Now that half of you are mad at me, let’s go for the rest of you.

 

Special needs student’s parents (via laws and hard work) are the best, the most ardent advocates for their kids in the world. Good for them. Regular education students parents by and large are the laziest and most ineffective advocates for their children alive. Chickens do a better job. I wonder why nobody likes me.

 

So, my question to you, are special education costs, in part, robbing Northwood regular education students of an adequate education and if so why? What’s to be done? The answer is undeniably yes. And the other answer is of course money, lots and lots more money!

 

Margaret Thatcher said "the problem with socialism is that eventually you run out of other people’s money". That, in a nutshell, is the gist of the problem. How, without hurting special needs students and without copious amounts of new taxation that is just not there, do we solve this dilemma? I intend to write two or three more letters addressing Special Education and this issue hoping that the Sun will continue printing them.

Teddy Bears For Joy

 

For my senior project, I am collecting Teddy Bears to donate to children that are in the Children’s Hospital in Boston. The collection period is for the whole month of November, and into the first week of December.

 

Please donate your new or gently used Teddy Bears to spread the holiday cheer. The bins where the bears will be collected are located at the Northwood Town Hall, the Hannaford’s in Northwood, in the lobbies of Coe Brown and the Northwood Elementary School, and other area businesses. If you have any questions feel free to contact me at (603)-942-8984.

 

Thank you for spreading the holiday cheer.

Letter To The Editor

 

We would like to announce that a "Witham Family Fund" has been set up at the Northwood TD Bank to aid a Northwood family that is going through some very trying times.

 

Kenny Witham entered the hospital to have a operation to remove a treated cancerous tumor and subsequently suffered some severe complications. Any one who would like to help this family can make direct donations to that fund at any TD Bank.

 

Kenny is truly a Northwood resident that has served on the Board of Selectmen, is presently a member of the School Board and has coached our children many times. You will, in the very near future, see other ways that you can help. There will be raffles on items, donation bottles etc. We would like to thank you for any help you can be from the bottom of our hearts.

 

Witham Family Friends
