Message from the New Hampshire Department of Education The “ED”ies is a unique and important piece of the educational landscape of New Hampshire. The organization provides broad, public recognition for some of our exemplary schools and outstanding educators using measures that go beyond the simple analysis of test scores. The “ED”ies serves as a catalyst to highlight the outstanding efforts of those being honored, using their example to inspire and motivate others throughout the state. By recognizing the state’s many excellent educators and exemplary schools, we hope to encourage more people to consider a career in education. Properly guided, awards programs can reach out to stakeholders and strengthen positive messages about the teaching profession.
Larry addressed the group stating it was an honor to be involved in the “ED”ies. (McDonald’s Restaurants of NH have supported the “ED”ies since 1994)
