Do you want to coach at Hanover High School?
This is a recent plea from the HHS athletic department.
We are still in need of coaches for winter sports. Please consider coaching or passing this on to someone else. We can't run programs without coaches.
Stipends are available for all positions. Please see the links below for information and/or to apply. You can also reach out to Megan Sobel, Athletic Director, at megansobel@sau70.org for more information. Winter sports start in mid-November.

The 19th Annual Gingerbread Festival is on!
We had so much wonderful feedback from the community following our re-imagined festival last year, we’ve decided to repeat the new design – a community display of gingerbread houses and an online auction of those houses to raise funds to support the programs of The Family Place.
You are receiving this letter because at some time in the past you contributed a donation made of gingerbread – the heart of the festival. We are hoping that you will help us to fulfill our dream to put gingerbread houses in businesses in the downtowns of White River Junction, Norwich, Woodstock, Hanover, and Lebanon/West Lebanon. We are excited at the idea of sharing them with a larger community and have plans for a scavenger hunt with the houses. I hope that you will consider contributing to the fun again!
Because of the new format, we have different requirements for houses:
Please complete the house submission form by 11/5. It’s ok if you don’t have a name or fully formed concept yet, we just want to know that you are participating! We will follow up for more information after 11/5. You can complete the form online by following this link:
Gingerbread Festival 2021 House Submission Form. If you need the form sent to you as an email attachment, please let us know.
-
Drop-off will be Thursday 11/18 or Friday 11/19. You will be assigned a drop-off location and day/time.
-
Please make sure your creation is sturdy and neat – we won’t be there with royal icing to do repairs, and it’s more likely that it could be touched.
-
They will stay in place until 12/8, so need to be long-lasting.
-
Please take a photograph of it before delivery and forward it to: gingerbread@the-family-place.org
You have been so generous in the past, and we would love for your help in making this year’s festival just as successful as past years!
Thank you so much!
