Walk MS North Conway event took place on Sunday, May 6th, at Schouler Park. This is the second year of the 5 mile Walk MS North Conway. Last year there were 100 walkers (in the pouring rain!) and they raised over $13,000! Eighty-five cents of every dollar raised from this walk goes to their mission...to live in a world free of MS. The money will go to research, programs, advocacy and direct services for the 19,000 people living with MS in Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Vermont.

The band comes marching in The Central King Regional High School Band from Nova Scotia, Canada recently arrived for its annual trip to the Mount Washington Valley. Each year, the Canadian students embark on a weeklong tour to several towns in the US, including ours! The 70-piece band, under the direction of Jim Lindh, has been a favorite of SAU 9 and 13 school children for the last decade.The visitors, who perform as members of a Concert Band as well as a Jazz Band, play at all of our area schools. This year marks the second year that Kennett High School Band com- bined with "The Nova Scotia Band" to perform for the KHS' student body. "The combined experience was in the planning stages for several years before we were actually able to make it happen," said KHS Music Director Dr.Therese Davison. "I was super glad when we pulled it off last year. This year, we played 2 songs together so that all the students had the opportunity to work with both Mr. Lindh and myself." The opportunity for the students to interact as international peers extended beyond music making. "It's was pretty cool when we found out that some of us have very similar experiences and how those experiences impacted us," said a KHS Band member. The Canadian students chose two American-based songs to perform with the KHS Band members: The Thunder (Nascar Theme) and The Doors in Concert. They were challenging and rewarding. "Next year, I think it might be neat to see if we can find traditional American and Canadian folk songs written for band that we could share with each other," said Davison. "Then the kids will get to compare teenager issues as well as their national identities."
