Message from the Denise Morley, Program Coordinator

As we begin another busy year of learning at the Bedford-Sackville Literacy Network, I would like to say thanks to everyone who is returning as a student, volunteer or staff of the Network. I am gratified by the continued support of so many members of the Bedford-Sackville community. I am especially pleased that Avril Lewis, Karen Harding, Linda Beaver and Betty Savoie will be returning to their positions at BSLN. Their combination of enthusiasm, experience and dedication to adult education is a valuable asset to this Network.

I would also like to welcome all of the new students and volunteers who will be participating in BSLN programs this year. Your energy and new ideas are very much appreciated. This year, we will continue to offer Level 1 & 2 Adult Learning Program classes as well as one to one tutoring in the Bedford-Sackville area. Extra classes and resources will be made possible this year through a grant from the NS Department of Community Services. Thanks to Rob Watkins for his support of this project.

Last June, BSLN said farewell to popular math instructor Kim Hutchison who has moved to Windsor. In addition to being an excellent teacher, Kim has always been active in Network activities and we will miss her greatly. Good luck in your new endeavors, Kim!

Please take a few moments to note the many examples of success celebrated in this newsletter. As you can see, despite many challenges, we continue growing together!
