Susan Noyes, the Moultonborough School District (MSD) Superintendent, gave an interesting and thought-provoking talk at the March Lion’s Club meeting.  She provided graphics on the declining birth and school enrollments in New Hampshire (and how schools are looking at multiple ways to still offer quality instruction including sharing courses with other schools), discussed the mission statement and goals of the MSD, and emphasized the welcome community support of the schools.  The video she played gave a visual “punch” as to how much the education of children has changed over the years and graphically demonstrated how many, many “charges” have been added to what schools are expected to teach and provide children.  In addition to academic subjects, areas such as health, nutrition and safety, career and college counseling, immunizations, art, music, drama, sports, etc. are expected to be included– all within the limits of the school day and year.

Members were encouraged to provide their e-mail addresses to Superintendent Noyes or Dawn Law at dlaw@sau45.org (Lion and educator at Moultonborough Academy) for electronic weekly updates from the schools, called iPaws, which contains items about the musical that will be offered at the end of this week  to concerts and other school happening,s as well as information about testing and what is new and upcoming.
