Our sixth grade students have completed projects on the topic of cyberbullying during library time. Under the technical tutelage of Barry Lane, students used Flipcams, iMovie, XtraNormal, Glogster and Comic Life to produce a variety of interesting results. Students were also expected to educate younger classmates on the topic, and they accomplished this by creating posters, morning announcements, and by sharing  their projects with other classes. The students worked hard and showed their creativity and problem-solving skills.  Enjoy!

Windham County has the second highest prevalence of Lyme Disease in Vermont.  Lyme Disease is caused by a prolonged bite from an infected deer tick (also called black-legged tick).  Ticks are prevalent in wooded areas, and areas with tall grass, and can also crawl from pets to humans. 

If you find a tick on yourself or your child, remove the tick, keep it for identification, and watch for fever, head or neck pain, flu-like symptoms, or a round red rash.  If your child's classroom has a field trip in an area where they are likely to come in contact with ticks, a special permission slip will be sent home.  You can help by dressing your child in long pants, long shirts, shoes and socks.  

Go to healthvermont.gov for more information, or stop in and talk with Nurse Julia.

On May 2, we celebrated the first annual Walk and Roll to School Day as part of our Safe Routes to School.  Organized and promoted by Alice Charkes, several staff volunteers joined dozens of our students as they walked (some from school bus drop-off points), and rode bikes and scooters to school. 

We were joined by two members of the Brattleboro Selectboard, who read a special proclamation to our runners-up and winners of the Vermont State Safe Routes to School logo design.  It was a wonderful way to promote a healthy lifestyle, and we are proud of our students and staff for participating!
