TOGETHER WE CONNECT

For the past eight years, I have had the pleasure to serve as the chair of the board of directors of New Hampshire PBS. During this time, we have successfully re-imagined NHPBS following the loss of all of our state funding. We have become more efficient and ever more focused on our central mission of service to the citizens of New Hampshire. We uniquely provide vital resources in education, civic engagement and public safety for all of New Hampshire, serving all of you on-air, online, on mobile devices, in the classroom and in the community.

Our Coronavirus response builds on decades of public television’s success in education and providing trusted, in-depth information. Public television’s early childhood programs have been proven to help close the achievement gap between children in lower-income families and their more affluent peers.

New Hampshire PBS has served generations of elementary and secondary school teachers through PBS LearningMedia, a collection of thousands of interactive videos and lesson plans that draw from the best of decades of public television’s national and local programming. We are pursuing our educational mission still further, with a brand-new website “Learn at Home” (nhpbs.org/learnathome) that is dedicated to helping parents, students and educators enhance learning at home. During the school year, there’s a new theme every day featuring videos, lesson plans and activities to engage learners of every age. We’re also working with our NH Department of Education and local school districts to ensure that established K-12 curriculum is offered in these unprecedented circumstances.

Our five over-the-air, free digital channels are broadcasting programs to children, parents, and our seniors to meet their viewing needs. Our NHPBS Kids

24/7 channel is providing a safe haven for our little ones away from all the uncertainties of the media.

At nhpbs.org, you will find a host of additional content and resources, including live coverage of our governor’s press conferences. Plus you can stream many local award-winning programs produced by NHPBS as well as many of your favorite national PBS programs.

It’s educational television when America needs it most. NHPBS has invested even more to provide crucial educational resources for kids, parents and teachers to fill the gaps while schools are closed, and we’ll be ready in case of any other future disruptions. Never has it been clearer how vital this service is to our children and to our teachers.

I see this as an important return on the investments the federal government, foundations, businesses and our valued members have been making for decades. We at NHPBS, along with our colleagues from across the country, are working to serve the best interests of everyone in our communities. We are doing this with unbudgeted resources, and like other nonprofits, we are feeling the strain of dwindling funds. I’m urging you to do what you can to sustain this worthy cause.

For over 60 years, our commitment to serve the people in this great state in every meaningful way has never wavered. It is at the core of who we are.

NHPBS has always cared deeply about the people and families we serve, and today is no different.

We are, after all, in this together.
