March 12 - Has Spring Sprung early?
Spring Fever is in the air and Covid Fatigue is gaining momentum...
Below are a few COVID and other guidelines and expectations to keep in mind:
- Do Open windows and let in fresh, but please Close your windows at the end of the day
- Do go outside with students when appropriate, but please do not prop open doors
- Do use mask breaks for snacks and fresh air, but please do not let students share food or eat ongoing and inside throughout class time
- Do encourage social distancing inside and outside
- Do be sure to eat lunch yourself, but do not do it inside with students in the same room
- Do remind students of your classroom and schoolwide COVID expectations, why they are important and why they've helped to keep us open.
- Do get a vaccine and don't worry about when - we've got you covered! (The wolfpack has your back)

It's bit early to start opening our windows regularly, regardless, this is fascinating

Schoolwide Happenings:

All sorts of crazy stuff happening with that Globe in Rita's room. 
Students ponder the impact of Climate Change in 9th Grade Science
Celebrations:
3 Peoples Academy students have been awarded a Youth Ambassador scholarship from REAL Schools (made possible by generous donations from the Alchemist Foundation). Adèle Ramirez Valcour, Mia Smith, and Anna Issenhart will serve as Ambassadors until July, when they will each receive a $250 scholarship with an opportunity to continue in Fall 2021 if they are interested.
Adèle, Anna, & Mia will join one other student from Stowe High School with the goals of building connections between youth in Lamoille County to work towards racial equity in their schools and community. Each month they will organize meetings with and for other students, and they will join our Monthly REAL Schools meetings, which take place on the 4th Thursday of the Month from 5:30-7:00 here: https://vsc.zoom.us/j/84022245363
Please congratulate the Youth Ambassadors for taking on a leadership role in their community. We would also welcome any support you are able to offer them as they take on this role (e.g., helping them communicate with other students, making space/time for youth-led meetings, and other ways they may need support).
