The second recipient of the Pat
Jewett Volunteer Appreciation
Award was presented to Margaret
Parent in a celebration led by Laura
Gandia.
Gandia spoke of Margaret Parent
as a lifelong resident of Litchfield,
an outstanding educator, a
consummate professional, a model
of citizenship and community
involvement, and a person who
exhibits volunteerism and civic
responsibility in all aspects of her
life. She is married to Gerry Parent
and has two daughters, Jennifer
and Christine. Margaret grew up
in Litchfield and was the second
eldest child in a family of 10. She
is a fourth generation Litchfield
teacher. She graduated cum laude
from the University of Lowell with
a Bachelor of Science degree in
Elementary Education and received
her Master of Education degree
in Elementary Education. Both
her great-grandmother, Jennifer
Florence McQuesten Center, and
her grandmother, Lizzie-Margaret
Center Goffe, taught in one room
schoolhouses here in Town.
Litchfield history is deep within
Margaret and her family.

Marina Forbes brought Russian culture to Hudson on
Sunday, March 6, with her program entitled Faberge Eggs:
From Fine Art to Fine Craft at Rodgers Memorial Library. The
unique program combined a slide show presentation on the
life of Russian master jeweled egg artist, Peter Carl Faberge,
as well as Russian music. Forty-five people of all ages signed
up to attend the talk and then learned how to paint images on
wooden eggs using traditional Russian techniques and designs.
The program was free to participants and sponsored by the
librarys Zylonis Fund.

THE IRISH
March

Over the past 18 years that Bryan Lane has worked for the school
district, your Hudson~Litcheld News has reported many times
about many different things. The list is long, but the one thing that
always remained the same was that Lane was professional. He
never told us anything that was not appropriate or protected due to
a number of reasons, such as employment issues dealt with in nonpublic, or minutes being sealed. Lane always understood, though,
that the paper had to ask the questions.
Tuesdays meeting was no different; the papers list of questions
was prepared, but the basic information is Lanes resignation was
accepted on March 7 at the School Board meeting. Starting July 1,
2016, he will be at the Wilton-Lyndeborough Cooperative School
District, as Superintendent.
The Wilton-Lyndeborough Cooperative School District has
significantly fewer students than the Hudson district. Hudson board
minutes show a student population of almost 3,700 in grades K-12,
while NH Department of Education has the Wilton-Lyndeborough
Cooperative School District enrolled with 570 students.
Asked about his leaving due to the repeat termination threats
that the Hudson School Board seemed to level his way every other
year and, as you expect, Lane had no comment. Little may ever be
known; after the last time his contract was not renewed the minutes
of the meeting were sealed for 25 years. When the conversation
turned to must have been pretty bad here, it seems you will have
more travel and less money. Quickly, no comment was offered, but
Lane confided that the drive time will be about double, increasing
to 50 minutes. Just is no easy way to get to Wilton-Lyndeborough
from Derry, Lane said.
Lane moved the direction of the talk to what that school
district was looking for; he mentioned only three buildings: an
elementary school and a junior/senior high school, and where the
School Boards
Statement on the
Resignation of
Superintendent Lane
submitted by Michael Truesdell, Hudson School Board
The Hudson School Board and Superintendent of Schools Bryan
Lane announce Mr. Lanes resignation, effective June 30, 2016.
The School Board would like to thank Mr. Lane for his many
contributions to the School District during his years as principal of
Alvirne High School and as Superintendent of Schools. The Board
wishes Mr. Lane success in the future. Mr. Lane also wishes the
School Board and the District success. The Hudson School Board
immediately will begin its search for a new superintendent.
