HEY HELP:

CHANGE AHEAD FOR SEEK AND HEY

To the students and families of Leland and Gray,

For the last 7 years, L&G has had federal funding for the SEEK program and for the HEY afterschool programs such as HEY Help, Jr Iron Chef and the Dungeons & Dragons club. We also have had amazing staff who helped design SEEK and HEY and put all their good ideas and energy into our programs. Many, many thanks to the teachers and staff for all their dedication.   

Unfortunately, we are not going to have the federal funds next year.  The requirements for us to participate in the federal investment program include a set of targets for the summer and afterschool activities.  A number of factors have come together at Leland and Gray so that we can no longer meet those requirements.

Leland and Gray will continue to develop programs, in and out of school, that truly meet the needs of students.  Although there will be no federal funds for SEEK or HEY next year, there are efforts and some local funds to continue to support the following four areas:

The late bus connection to homes and the local elementary schools.

The middle school summer program. (SPAE and Sports Camp are not funded through the same programs and will run as usual.)

The Elementary Counselor Program, which shall continue through federal funds from the elementary schools.

Student-led clubs that provide a positive space after school to hang out with peers working on projects of their own interest.

Families may have questions about these changes.  Please feel free to call or email Thara Fuller, WCSU Director of Expanded Learning, at 802-365-9510 x118 or tfuller@windhamcentral.org, or Principal Thibault at 802-365-7355 x133 or  rthibault@lelandandgray.org
