Photo Contest: Is Your Dog The Top Dog?

Upload a photo of your favorite four-legged family member and your pet could vie to become Connecticut Patch’s Top Dog!

 

Everyone knows their dog is the best dog.

Now, Patch is giving you the chance to prove it.

This month, in conjunction with dog-license renewals in the state, Patch is launching its Top Dog contest.

First, we want you to go and get your dog officially licensed at the town clerk’s office in town hall (as required by law), and then we want you to enter our contest.

Here’s how it works:

Beginning June 1, upload your favorite photo of your dog to this article (it’s super easy – just make sure you are a registered user first). In the caption, tell us your dog’s name and what makes him or her so special. One photo per owner.

Between June 1 and June 14, our users will vote in the comments on which dog is the Haddams Top Dog. So make sure you hit that social media campaign trail early!

On June 15, we will announce the winner of the Haddams Patch Top Dog contest.

The winners of the local contests will then move on to a regional competition. The voting for that level runs from June 15-22, and again, will take place in the comments section of that article (which will be posted on June 15).

On June 23, the 4 regional winners will be unveiled, and they will face off to become Connecticut Patch’s Top Dog from June 23-30. The winner will be announced July 1.

Look for great prizes at both the regional and state levels.

To vote: Look for the number in the top right corner of the photo and refer to that in the comments.

The State of Connecticut has billions in unfunded pension obligations thanks to the money managementRead More ablities of our state treasurers over the years. Only an AFSCME union boss would trust them.

As I have learned in the past "trust but verify" please call a BOE member and ask them ifRead More they have seen the new report card, when they saw the new report card, if the board voted on the report card. I know from reading the minutes there is very limited talk about any report cards. There has been talk about the new core curriculum. I also know minutes can be deceiving from boards and commissions but I would have thought that something this big and much of a change would have something like board agrees that new report cards look good or bad or something to any effect. The only thing that I saw was on 1/8/13 when mention was made about the parent meeting and one board member asking if SBRC was used in the HS. I should note clearly - I am not out to crucify our BOE. I know they are governed by state statue and then add on their additional policies. I am very disappointed in the fact they were not involved ( from my understanding) in the implementation, development or tracking of the new report card. The waters on this whole thing get muddier and muddier. Again, don't take my word on this, read the minutes or call a board member. I do not go to all the board meetings, I can only say what I have been told and what I read in the minutes. Again, I am not out to hang the board members, I just want parents to understand if they have been led to believe this SBRC was a mandate from the state and our BOE embraced this - they may want to find out all the details.

Resident- Let me get this straight you believe that - BOE did not approve this..... no one saw theRead More report card before it went out ? and I am not sure who has since ? Sad! Well it clearly demonstrates the lack of competence and how well the BOE is informed the in the area of our children's education.

Dear save our schools : I have not heard that rumor.... I think where that may have started wasRead More with some people looking at the old middle school and thinking about using it for a vo-ag school, but not at all connected with our school system. I have not heard anything for a while on that whole subject. I have not heard about accreditation issues either... I know about 12 years ago or maybe longer there were issues. My kids are not in the HS. Normally I support our BOE. And it should be noted that the BOE did not approve this... I would tend to bet that if you polled every board member - no one saw this report card system before it went out, and I am not sure who has seen it since. With kids in the middle school now I am keeping an ear open about the HS.
