June 6th during HS

CAMP runs from July 7 – 25 at Leland & Gray. It’s science, math, writing and

and “outside fun,” too. Chef
Joe is creating great breakfast and lunch menus for SEEK camp. SEEK Counselor Training is on
Thursday, June 12th from 2:30 – 4:30 PM in B-11.
A NOTE FROM MS. Z!
On Tuesday, June 10 students in grades
7-12 will be invited to complete a needs assessment for the school counseling
department. Their valuable input will help allow the school counselors to
thoughtfully consider student needs for academics, college and career planning
and social/emotional development. If parents choose not to have students
complete the assessment, they may call or email Ms. Z.
THE ABBY GROUP
All balances from the Abbey Group need to be paid
in full by June 17th. Please make checks payable to Leland and Gray.

ENVIRONMENTAL OUTDOOR CLUB
Environmental Outdoor Club - New to L&G! - We meet every
Thursday during middle and high school lunch with Ms. Davis, and Ms. Nyzio.
Some issues we are beginning to address are: the elimination of the use of
Styrofoam in the cafeteria, improve our recycling efforts, offer opportunities
for students to hike locally after school, re-building the greenhouse, and to
educate the school community on environmental issues. Two students from the
group will be attending the Slow Living Summit in Brattleboro. The Summit is an
educational conference based on the idea of a "slow life". When we
live a "slow life" we recognize our role as members of our bioregions
and of our Earth, taking a nourishing rather than an extracting approach to
living. The summit is sponsored by Strolling of the Heifers. This is just
a sampling of what we are about. We encourage all L&G students and family
to get involved.
HOST

home! Students are ages 14 to 17 and are looking to improve their English
skills while learning about Vermont and US life and sharing their Spanish
culture. For more information, please contact Ann Newsmith or Norm Oaks,

257-4710 or online at: www.exchangeVT@gmail.com

A
NOTE FROM THE SCHOOL NURSE
A COORDINATED
APPROACH: The WCSU has a compelling
interest in addressing students’ health needs because healthy students learn
better and are more likely to stay in school.
In the school setting, behaviors are developed and reinforced that will
last a lifetime. The WCSU School Health
Advisory Council (SHAC) was established to promote the physical, mental,
social, and emotional health of the students in WCSU and to support the
development of health-promoting school environments.
Our SHAC uses the
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Coordinated
School Health (CSH) model that is a clear and practical
approach designed to support the health and achievement of students. It addresses 8 components of WCSU school
community life: education for lifelong
healthy living, nutritious meals, policies that support a positive psychosocial
and hazard-free environment, involvement of families and communities in
promoting the well-being of young people, opportunities for staff members to foster
their own well-being, and services that prevent or treat mental and physical
health conditions that interfere with learning.
Administrators, faculty, parents, students, community members, and local agency representatives all add to the effort of the SHAC. Please contact me if you wish to join us in the 2014-2015 school year.
