Salmon Release - Merrimack River - May 10, 2013
On Friday, May 10, 2013 the fifth graders of Dr. H.O. Smith School along with parents, teachers, Trout Unlimted, NH Fish & Game, and the Hudson Police Department walked to the Merrimack River to release 200 salmon fry. The walk was the end of a fun learning experience that has covered the past 2 months. Fifth graders watched the salmon hatch from eggs provided by the Nashua National Fish Hatchery. The walk to the river and the release of the fry was enjoyed by all who participated. Thank you to Trout Unlimited for providing the "chiller" so we could maintain the cool tank temperatures required for helathy salmon fry. Thank you to Judy Tumosa and NH Fish & Game for their continued support of this great program. And lastly we would like to thank Officer Colby Morton of the Hudson Police Department for her awesome assitance as we crossed the busy streets on the way to the river. As you walk on the banks of the Merrimcak River or drive across the bridges that span its' shores remember to keep the Merrimack River healthy so our salmon fry contniue to have a healthy home.

Zone A’s annual holiday craft fair took place on December 8th. We had a nice turnout, as always. We want to thank all who had the opportunity to stop by for shopping, purchasing raffle tickets or just taking time out to say “HELLO” to Santa. The gym was filled with a steady stream of merry friends and families, as holiday music played in the background. There were local vendors and crafters this year selling goods such as American Girl clothing, jewelry, painted artwork, hair accessories, scrapbooking items, and so much more! What a wonderful way to spend time with your family. Thank you to Heidi England for coordinating the craft fair, you did a fantastic job, as well as all the volunteers that worked that day. It was because of you that this event a huge success!
Holiday Concerts
Zone A’s annual holiday concerts saw hundreds of doting parents enjoy a taste of the holiday season. Both schools performed in a day and night performance in an effort to provide a time for all our parents, relatives, and friends to share in this special event. Both schools were filled to capacity with everyone eager to see the children perform. The students were extremely excited to be in front of such a large group of people and could hardly contain their excitement. The students performed a variety of songs that delighted the audience. A special thanks to all the students and the music teachers, Susan Parsons and Sarah Seckla, for putting together a fabulous program.
