Welcome to the Barnstead Elementary School Blog! I hope to use this blog as another tool to communicate with parents, grandparents, and guardians, to engage in dialog around educational issues, budget, curriculum, and the strategic plans for the school and district. There are a lot terrific things taking place throughout the school, but for us to get even better we need your involvement and support.
I attached a TED Talk by Rita Pierson; take a few minutes to watch and listen to her message that every child needs a champion, and that teaching and learning is all about the relationships – she makes it look so easy! I believe in her message and would love your feedback and reaction to her talk.

Trevor, the Sir Ken Robinson TED Talk is one of my favorites. I would love to hear your views on that topic and any ideas for how Barnstead Elementary School can improve.
I really liked the TED Talk. BES seems to be already on this path. Keep up the great job!
Thank you for the reply and taking a look.
My goal is to put up 2-3 posts a month and the use the dialog from the posts to develop a larger interest and involvement in education ideas, ways for Barnstead Elementary to improve, and to expand parent and community interest.
