  • Maine Public Broadcasting Network from the President & CEO
    Annual Report | 2013 Maine Public Broadcasting Network From the President & CEO Friends, T HAS BEEN AN EXCITING YEAR at MPBN, and I am pleased to tell you that we Ihave weathered all of our challenges, embraced our successes and believe that MPBN, in keeping with our mission, stands tall as Maine’s primary source for quality news, information, and entertainment. MPBN’s award-winning news department continues to be relied on across Maine for the depth of our coverage, and that strength was reinforced with the launch of the Maine Capitol Connection which offered statewide TV coverage of the Legislature for the first time in Maine history. We saw additional popularity in the expansion of our noontime Maine Calling. Our election coverage, both on radio and television and additionally online, was lauded by our viewers, listeners, and members as being comprehensive and essential in charting the voting season in Maine and across the country. The news team has been busy! Our radio listenership itself continued to rise as program changes resulting from listener feedback and our Community Advisory Board hit their mark. Local programming like In Tune with Sara Willis and Jazz Tonight with Rich Tozier grew audience share and legions of new followers. Our strategy for radio pledge, the one-day “Super Thursday” format, tapped into listeners’ enthusiasm to keep the programs interruption-free as much as possible and has proven to be a true success. The television side, too, experienced an exciting year, led of course by the juggernaut known as Downton Abbey. The quality and breadth of programs coming to us from PBS – from NOVAto new Masterpiece offerings – continue to really impress us and excite our audience.

    Alpha Psi Mainspring of The Delta Kappa Gamma Society International Honor Society for Women Educators LX, Number 1 SUMMER/PRE-WORKSHOP 2008 Old Town, Maine MABEL J. DESMOND 2008 ACHIEVEMENT AWARD RECIPIENT Mabel J Desmond is a force to be reckoned with. She is petite in stature, but don’t let that deceive you. In her 41+ years in education, she has worked with the little ones on up to teaching education classes at the University of Maine Presque Isle. Mabel also served in the House of Representatives for eight years, championing the causes of education at the state level. During these experiences, she made friends with many state legislative leaders, including Governor John Baldacci. He recently appointed her to the State of Maine Board of Education. She attends regular meetings in Augusta, driving herself down from Mapleton. In Delta Kappa Gamma Society International, she has distinguished herself by serving in nearly every capacity at the chapter level, and as Professional Affairs Chair, 2nd Vice President, 1st Vice President, and President at the state level. She also served as State Parliamentarian for one biennium. She has been a regular attendee at state and international conventions and workshops. For those of us who have had the privilege of working with Mabel, she is an example of what a key woman educator represents. Congratulations to Mabel on receiving Alpha Psi State’s most prestigious award, the Alpha Psi Achievement Award for 2008. 2 Alpha Psi Mainspring Renewal Renewal - make new again, to revive! As I am writing this President’s mes- sage, I am waiting for a doc- tor’s call to reschedule my Baha surgery.

  • Community E-Newsletter Fall 2014
    Community e-Newsletter Fall 2014 Dear Community Members: One of my core beliefs is that it takes an entire community to ensure the success of our public schools. In order to engage in our schools, the community needs to be informed. That is why the Portland Public Schools is introducing our first ever community e-Newsletter. The e-Newsletter will come out twice a year, in the fall and the spring. Its purpose is to communicate successes and ongoing work at the district level and in our schools. In this issue of our newsletter you will find news items including information about the Portland Public Schools STEM Exposition, an update about the plan for replacing Hall School, staff recognitions and student projects. We hope that this newsletter will help empower our community to participate in improving our schools so that we can be the best small urban school district in the country by 2017. Please encourage your friends, family, neighbors, and other community members to subscribe to the e-Newsletter by sending an email to [email protected] with “Subscribe to e-Newsletter” in the message or subject. In addition to reading this e-Newsletter, I would encourage all Portland families, businesses, and community members to stay informed and get involved in our schools. Here are some ways you can do so: • Check out the Stay Informed section of the district’s website (http://www2.portlandschools.org/stay-informed-about- portland-public-schools-0), where you will find many ways to stay up-to-date on school and district news.
