Dear L&G Families:
We started off our week with an assembly honoring some community veterans to celebrate Veteran’s Day. Mr. Benn Nicholson (a para in our HOME program), Mr. Kevin Burke (technology teacher) and (in absentia) Mr. Luis Vargas (our SAP) were all honored and joined by local residents Mr. Robert Litchfield and Mr. Charlie Marchant to share stories and speak about why they chose to serve their country in the manner in which they did. It was a very engaging and informative presentation!
Thursday, we were visited by the Department of Transportation’s newly named snowplow, “Snowbody’s Business” which was named by a “name the plow” contest by L&G staff and students!
We are now approaching the holiday season, and these times are a celebration for most families, but we recognize that the winter season - with cold weather and family drama - can also be challenging. If you or your family struggles with heat, food scarcity or other challenges, please be sure to reach out to our new Home-To-School Liasion, Ms. Alicia Carey at acarey@windhamcentral.org and she might be able to find some resources for your family.
In the meantime, on behalf of the entire faculty and staff of L&G, we wish you and your families a very happy Thanksgiving!
Bob Thibault
Principal
