Hampstead Storybrook Garden Club
On a crisp, bright spring day, Hampstead Garden Club members gathered to wake up the public gardens in their town. The club plants and maintains nine gardens. They volunteer their time (approximately two hours a month) to beautify the town from early spring to the end of the growing season. One of the major gardens they tend is the triangle at the center of town called Sign Island which has the rustic Town of Hampstead sign on it. As people travel along Main Street, that beautiful garden greets community members and visitors with its symphony of colors. Another large garden spot is Ordway Park where members garden on a grand scale. Many public events are held at the park and the gardens are a centerpiece to any event. The gardens at the front and back of the library are especially dear to the public. The rear Storybook Garden is so lovely that prom and wedding pictures are often taken at that spot. Smaller but just as important are the gardens at the Veterans Memorials, Shop Pond Park, the Fire Station sign planter, the Police station, Old Meeting House, and Historical Museum. Become part of contributing to the beauty of your town by joining the Hampstead Garden Club (www.hampsteadgarden.org) Call Joanne VanderSande at 603-382-5177 or email Phyllis Leocha at pleocha@gmail.com for details.

IIM Projects at Bakie School
The fourth grade students at the DJ Bakie School recently displayed their IIM projects after weeks of research. This particular unit of study was focused on New Hampshire. Students had the opportunity to direct their learning in the area of historical places or people important to the Granite State. Following the Independent Investigation Method, known as IIM, students learned how to write notes, summarize, cite information and write a final report.
