September 17 - "It's good 'be-ans' at PA"

It's good 'beans' in health class, get it?, ha, ha

Thank you for your continued patience and willingness to step up and 'seeing a job and doing it'. From things as small as picking up lunch trash (I know we need to work on this with students) to covering classes and roles for absent staff. There is a lot to do and work to get back to smooth operating. Thank you for your efforts!

Also, I appreciate your time, thinking, and honest conversations (pictured above) around our academic and social/emotional work with students. This is challenging and confusing work. Thanks for your diligence and persistence. If kids are talking about it, and they are, we're making an impact (despite how it might sound coming from an adolescent :) )

Finally, I'm trying to get into each of your classrooms every week. This goal has been difficult with short weeks and many distractions with the start of school. But, when I do make it into your spaces, it's the best part of my day. EVERYTIME I enter any class your students are on task, respectful to each other and you, and doing thoughtful and interesting work. In the future, I hope to see you more, give you the feedback that you deserve and learn more about the important things occuring in your courses. I'm working on getting better with feedback. Until then, thank you for your awesome work with our students.

Community Service Opportunity: Lamoille County Habitat for Humanity is looking for volunteers to help with a fundraiser to support our local Habitat chapter which is ready to place a family into a new home. Approximately 60 volunteers will be needed to park cars and take money at the Stowe Fall Craft Fair that will be held on Oct. 8, 9 & 10. LCHH will be paid $15.00/hr for every hour that a volunteer works. All community members, including PA students, families and faculty, are invited to volunteer. The times would be from 9:30 to approximately 4:00, divided into approximately three hour shifts where volunteers will park cars or collect admission. If interested please reach out to Judy by phone, 802-888-6918, or email, bickford@vtlink.net.
