Students of the week from Friday. Way to go, kids!!

Last week Wednesday, Tim McGowan, Networks of Support, visited Lyman High School, met with a team of advisors and then worked with Seniors and Juniors. On Thursday, Tim came back and trained a group of peer mentors (Seniors and Junior volunteers). This team then had their first session of mentoring with the 8th grade class. The purpose of the Networks of Support approach, is to design to build a participant’s connectedness by immersing them in an intentional and structured series of active learning and discussion activities that foster collaboration. Students and staff create an environment of support that motivates personal commitment for a collective culture through discussion and modeling. This approach provides the opportunity to experience the activities and gain significant insight into our own values and decision-making style. Importantly, they are given space to practice these new skills. Growth of the participant lives in this collaborative experience! This approach, which builds connectedness and models resiliency and coping skills, is the most effective method in developing a culture of support. We are so excited to continue with this approach this year and years to come!

Still LOVING the playground upgrades!! We love our time outside!

Save the date!! Elementary students will be inviting someone "grand" to breakfast September 25th! :)

Mrs. McClanahan's Homer-eostasis lab…kids had to keep Homer alive by maintaining a constant water lever, temperature and “electrolyte” level. Great activity to show of all the ways our bodies keep us normal and healthy without us even knowing! Mrs. Larson's English II class ditched the classroom last week and took their learning to the hallways! Students had conversations on character analysis from the book they've just started reading called, "Of Mice and Men!" Love seeing the creativity from these classrooms!
