It's official, a local TV show that  unravels fairy tales happening all around you right now, rather than once upon a time! 

Our official winners on FaceBook https://www.facebook.com/FairyTaleFestival  had some great ideas for names, but they had even better ideas for guests! 

Fairy Tale Access Rather than once upon a time, we are going to prove that Fairy Tales do exist in actual time, and unravel them by introducing our audience to all of those people who make great things happen and those who have experienced great things because of it, as well as interview our usual array of fairy tale characters...stay tuned...more details are developing who would you like to see?
The head fairy is going to introduce you to all the people, young and old and all the businesses and children that inspire "The Nashua, NH Fairy Tale Festival" to be as special as it is.

The Head Fairy's Quest is on, will we succeed? Of course, just believe ... in fairy tales it's never to late to start! 

ps. it's a green screen, so polka dots, stripes, busy patterns, red, green and white do not work well with that technology, just thought you should know ahead; in case you decide to be our guest.

See you soon; the Head Fairy

I am posting this update and request to re-introduce you to the SummerFun Program operated by the Nashua Parks & Recreation Department.Every season this national award winning program holds over 70 free family concerts and events for residents of Nashua and the surrounding towns.

Participants plan their vacations around this event and shorten vacations in order to attend this incredible literacy spectacle, where every child receives a free book based on that year’s theme! This year we are going to go around the world in 180 minutes; so your act needs to be related to any country or any mode of travel.

Pathway to Law School

Special Note to All Considering a legal education ACHLS has announced free tution for those who qualify for 2012/2013 see http://achls.org/content/tuition-and-scholarships/Free-College-Tuition.html

5/1/12

As we move into a study week before finals, I don't think words can express the gratitude I feel for having been given this truly unique and rewarding scholarship at the American College of History and Legal Studies.

The entire staff is above all expectations.  Dean Chesson instills the importance of checking resources and using critical thinking techniques by taking you from the settlement of this country to the current day; dispelling many myths along the way, through a vast array of historical topics on American and World History and how they reflect and/or have affected one another. The guest speakers have all been inspiring and informative. This is complemented by Professor Defusco-Sullivan's ability to teach English and various forms of writing, by providing conscience moving literature that runs the gamut and think on your feet exercises that prepare you for ... well, seriously any topic under the sun.

If you have ever wanted an opportunity you thought would never be within your reach, the direction of this college under Dean Mooney and the course's here are outstanding.  Whether you’re pursuing a bachelor's or Juris Doctor (in 3 years not 4), you will find ACHLS, as a team, is able to bring a diverse group of individuals together, where you can share, discuss, debate and disagree with respect and consideration for all view points, while creating new perspectives and enduring possibilities.

"Accept the challenges so that you may feel the exhilaration of victory." General George S. Patton (American General World War I & II 1885-1945)

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE                                         

NASHUA, NH

JUNE 27, 2011

Contact: Denise-Marie Cutter/McIntosh

Denise-Marie Cutter/McIntosh, a 2010 graduate of the Nashua Community College Paralegal Program with Academic Distinction, was awarded a full-tuition scholarship for the academic year 2011-2012 from The American College of History and Legal Studies (ACHLS), on her pathway to law school.

Denise-Marie, a Western Massachusetts native, who at a young age advocated for children’s rights in the foster care system and graduated from high school after her junior year, was also one of the first and youngest women to be asked to join the Chicopee Lions Club.  Denise is still a forceful advocate for the rights of children and families.  She is furthering her legal education with the goal to hold accountable those parties who are legally entrusted with the welfare of children and families.    

Denise has actively served as President of the NCC Paralegal Club for 2009/2010, was an active participant with the Paralegal Association of New Hampshire serving on several committees, and has worked with legislators on laws affecting the community. She is also dedicated to promoting literacy as a member of the Nashua, N.H. Summerfun committee, and organizer of the acclaimed Fairy Tale Festival, specifically designed to promote literacy for children. The Fairy Tale Festival drew a record attendance of 5500 last year, and this year’s show on July 16, 2011 is sure to be a hit. 

Denise continues to set the standard for professionals in the legal field.  Prior to graduation, she conceived and implemented a full-day continuing legal education course on the pressing issue of domestic violence.  Held in October of 2010, the course was approved by the New Hampshire Bar Association and the National Federation of Paralegal Associations for 6 credits including 1credit in ethics.  The course received a 95% approval rating from those in attendance, demonstrating that Denise’s academic success is only matched by her success outside the classroom. 

With creative social networking skills and a background in research, Denise is also a faithful steward of every task entrusted to her.  Denise has been recognized as having the perseverance, initiative and extraordinary determination to succeed in any project, objective or goal she pursues.  Her commitment to further her education in pursuing her legal career, often while working two or three jobs, is apparent, unwavering, and fervent.
