from Mrs. Guinand to those who did not know the lyrics. The kids were worked hard. There
were some decisions on the soloists that left those not chosen sad and rejected. Emotions
were high. Those that were chosen as soloists had a brief dinner break and had to return for an

Illuminating Words from a Founding Father

While commemorating the birth of the greatest nation on earth,
remember that Independence Day should be more than watching
fireworks. The United States of America has had 241 strong years.
Consider the telling words from one of our nations founding fathers
in a letter penned to his wife, Abigail.
The second day of July, 1776, will be the most memorable
epocha (epoch) in the history of America. I am apt to believe it will
be celebrated by succeeding generations as the great anniversary
festival. It ought to be commemorated as the day of deliverance, by
solemn acts of devotion to God Almighty.
It ought to be solemnized with pomp and parade, with shows,
games, sports, guns, bells, bonfires, and illuminations, from one end
of this continent to the other, from this time forward forevermore.
~John Adams

a teacher like Jan. Jans strengths of organization, communication,
teamwork, and insightful instruction have served the Hudson
school community in such a way, that Jans reputation as an
exceptional educator precedes her. With admiration, we would
like to extend our deepest thanks and gratitude, for your efforts are
recognized, not only today, but every day.
Susan Zelonis, Dr. H.O. Smith Cafeteria Manager
Sues career started in 1985, and since then she has been
a fundamental part of the positive growth and changes of the
districts food service program. Sue has performed every kitchen
task there is and she has done it well, never asking anyone to
do anything she wouldnt do. Sue and her very effective team
have met the challenges of nutritional changes, special diets and
childhood obesity, under her tenure of 32 years. It is safe to say
that her total commitment to this district, and to the students of
Hudson, will be hard to surpass. Susan says her greatest reward
was working with the children and watching them grow. The
Hudson School District appreciates the difference she has made
in our community. We wish her and her husband, Bill, safety in
their travel, luck in their endeavors, and most of all ... health and
happiness in their Retirement. Now It is time to stop living at
work ... And start working at living!
Elaine Yen, Dr. H.O. Smith and Library Street
We celebrate, honor and thank a woman who has dedicated
34 years to the children and families of the Hudson School
District. Yes, dedication is certainly one of the first words that
comes to mind when describing Elaine, but perhaps the best word
is zeal. Webster defines zeal as a strong feeling of interest and
enthusiasm that makes someone very eager or determined to do
something. That something was to not only teach reading, but to
instill a love of reading in children and staff alike that would last a
lifetime. That sums up what Elaine Yen has brought to her position
and the district for 34 years.
This has always been more than just a job for Elaine; it has been
her vocation. She has coached us, led us, supported us and been
the go-to person for anything reading related. Her background
as a first grade and Title I teacher naturally lent itself to being the
reading specialist in a PreK-first setting.
One of the Elaines most admired traits is her willingness to get
the answers. If she didnt know something immediately, shed
quickly do the research and supply the questioner with as much
information as she could find. Her perseverance and work ethic
have set the bar high for the rest of us.
Elaine, with heartfelt gratitude for your service to the Hudson
School District we wish you much happiness as you begin the next
chapter in your own lifes story.
member of the district-wide
Mathematics Curriculum revision team, a chaperone on many
Washington, D.C., trips, an intramural volleyball coach, an
Academic Assistance teacher, and an eighth grade lunch duty
volunteer. Along with her many roles at Hudson Memorial School,
Mrs. Luszey has worked countless hours to ensure that our men
and women in harms way receive care packages from home as
part of her volunteer work for Operation Care for Troops.
As the principal of Hudson Memorial School, I can truly say
that Mrs. Luszey is an exceptional educator and person. She is a
respected and dedicated member of our staff and will be dearly
missed.
Mary Lavoie, Hudson Memorial
Mrs. Lavoie is a 20-year veteran of the Hudson Memorial School
staff where she has taught sixth grade mathematics for 17 years
and was a para-educator for three years. In her tenure at Hudson
Memorial School, Mrs. Lavoie has been a valuable member of
the sixth grade mathematics team and the various cross-curricular
teams she has worked with throughout her career. Mrs. Lavoie is a
thoughtful, kind, caring, knowledgeable and hardworking member
of the Mathematics team. She is highly respected by her peers
and valued dearly by the entire school community. Students who
have had the honor of being in Mrs. Lavoies sixth grade class have
benefitted from her high expectations and her genuine love for her
content.
In her career, Mrs. Lavoie has been a member of the district-
wide mathematics curriculum revision team, the organizer of the
annual Weathervane Lobster presentation, and a teacher in our
academic assistance program. In her many roles, Mrs. Lavoie has
been a true team player and has cared deeply for her students at
Hudson Memorial School.
Mrs. Lavoie is and always will be remembered as a dedicated
educator and an outstanding person. She will truly be missed.
Deb Shearer, Hudson Memorial
Think of a person with a contagious smile, an infectious school
spirit and a positive student-centered approach to supporting
the needs of students and teachers; the first person that comes to
mind is Deb Shearer. Possessing a diverse and strong skill set for
working with our neediest students, Deb has served the Hudson
School District for 17 years as a para-educator with undying
devotion and an intense passion for her work with students.
Debs abilities to enhance student success in the classroom make
her presence both widely sought after and respected. Debs
contributions are often left unrecognized and kept behind the
scenes through her own modesty and insistence for things to
remain that way. She is often quick to share a humorous anecdote
or witty reply that brightened everyones day. Deb Shearer has
been a special part of our school community and the lives of the

The Litchfield U19 boys travel soccer team
won the New Hampshire Soccer Leagues U19
Boys Division 2/3 Championship on Sunday,
June 25, with a 1-0 win over Salem. The only
goal of the match was the result of a penalty
shot late in the game. In the semi-final game,
prior to the championship game, Litchfield beat
Lakes Region United SC 2-1. This game ended
when Litchfield outscored the Lakes Region 4-3
in penalty shots after two 10-minute overtimes.
On June 2, a group of 13 Alvirne athletes, along with
Hudson Police Officers John Mirabella, Alan Marcotte and
Steve McElhinney, participated in the Law Enforcement
Torch Run for Special Olympics. The run began in Concord
at 4:30 a.m. and finished at the UNH track where the
Special Olympics were holding its event. The group
covered over 33 miles during the day while running some
of it as well as riding the Bronco Bus. Oyster River High
School was the only other school participating in the Torch
Run while there were numerous police departments from
throughout the state that participated in the day. All monies
raised went to Special Olympics!
