The 14th Annual New Hampshire Excellence in Education Awards Celebration, informally known as the “ED”ies, is being held on Saturday, June 9, 2007 at the Center of New Hampshire in Manchester.  We expect over 700 people in attendance.  The program will once again celebrate educational excellence in New Hampshire.  Educators, students, school programs, and entire schools will be recognized for their outstanding achievement. We are very proud to say that this event serves as a catalyst to inspire and motivate others to also pursue excellence in education, a tradition in New Hampshire.

Financial support is needed to keep the event affordable for those attending and to further develop the event so that it can be shared with educators from around the country. We are in the process of expanding our “ED”ies web page, and already have a page for sponsors. Visit http://www.edies.org/sponsors.htm to view those who sponsored the "ED"ies during 2006. The "ED"ies are also working on the preparation and distribution of program planning materials so that other states may know how we have been successful in celebrating excellence in education in New Hampshire.

Thank you for your consideration.

Sincerely,
