A reception will follow the formal presentation. The School Partnership Initiative began as a pilot project in 2005 in the Rivendell Interstate School District. Today, Montshire works with 10 partner schools to strengthen the infrastructure for science education in our region. Our goal is to move beyond episodic programming to develop a long—term, sustainable model for museum/school collaboration to enhance K—8 science education.

Though he can't see or walk, he exercises control over his distorted domain. Hamm's servant is Clov, a constant companion who carries out Hamm's instructions with a mixture of obedience and loathing. The characters are rounded out by Nell and Nagg, Hamm's parents, who poke their heads up from garbage cans set in their assigned place on the 'board.' http://calendar.theuppervalley.net/events/index.php?com=detail&eID=5616 Thu, 24 May 2012 00:00:00 -0400 http://calendar.theuppervalley.net/events/index.php?com=detail&eID=5619 Samuel Beckett, who won the Nobel Prize for literature in 1969, regarded Endgame as his most successfully realized play and it has won over audiences in recent productions, hailed by critics as “terrific,” “hilarious,” “spellbinding,” and a “triumph.” In Beckett's stark, yet enigmatic world, comparable to the last stage of a chess match, the king is Hamm, a blind man confined to a chair.
