(From Sydney Wood and Hannah Shiffert) This was a part of our “Triumph of the Commons” project in our AP Environmental Science class, in which we had to do a community service project that related to the environment.

We chose to plant a garden in our backyards at home and donate some of the crops to a food bank that otherwise would not get any fresh vegetables. In addition, during this unusual time, we wanted people to know the importance of gardening and how it is beneficial to human health and the environment. We were planning on sharing this flyer with the people in which we donated the crops to, but due to the unprecedented times, that won’t be able to happen. The flyer mentions both the importance of gardening, along with the health benefits of some of the vegetables that we were going to plant.

Hello Students (From Mrs. Hoffman)

I hope that you are doing as well as possible and that you find some comfort in knowing that you are not alone in how you may be feeling, any range or combination of: annoyed, anxious, bored, fine, lonely, sad, mad or glad (or anything else!).

-If you would like to connect, please set up a 15 or 30 minute appointment through this link  https://calendly.com/ahoffman-10/ and I will confirm with a Webex link. Please indicate your preference, call or video.

-Be assured that the office space I have set up at home is in a private area of my house, with a noise cancelling machine outside the door, I use headphones to ensure privacy.

In the meantime, here is some Virtual EncourageMINT! 

 –Feel what you feel and try not to stay stuck

–Taking a few deep breaths (1-5) can help you feel more in control, reset your nervous system and help reconnect your mind and body

Remember what resources and tools work for you to take care of yourself:

-Physical activity, talking/videoing with friends, being in nature, listening to music, LAUGHING, journaling, expressing yourself creatively: drawing, dancing, singing, playing an instrument, writing, etc., (insert other healthy coping skills here________________).

 Please e-mail me if you would like written, phone or video encouragement.

Juniors and Seniors,

Please check your email for a message from your college counselor about signing up for 1:1 appointments. We have each set up Calendly systems for you to make appointments with us.

Hey Everybody!

For my capstone, I am trying to recruit volunteers to help with Special Olympics, this coming spring. Special Olympics has always been an important part of my life; I started to help volunteer when I was in 5th grade with family friends and I have continued to go each year after that. It’s a special experience that I would love to share with our community, so I am looking for 20 volunteers to go with me! We will be going on April 9, which is a half-day. Since we will be missing actual school, we still have expectations for everyone interested in going.

1. You must be a Junior/Senior

2. You must have transportation

3. You must stay with your buddy until the games are over (around 1 pm), whether that be in the Olympic village, eating lunch (volunteers receive a free lunch), or walking around. If your buddy chooses to leave, we will find you another way to help.

4. Special Olympics has set a strict number of people we may bring, so please don’t sign up if you are worried that you may need to cancel or go out of town. *You must be committed to going!

5. Remember, this day is special for them, not you!

If you’re interested in volunteering, please fill out this form and we will get back to you with a parent permission slip. *You have until March 6 to answer the form.* Please be concise with your answers: https://forms.gle/rmqmq1hb8GgdHgMD9

Thanks!

***For my senior capstone project, I am hosting a 5K race at Cannon School on April 4th to raise money for an organization that I have been working with over the past two years and is very close to my heart: Cookies for Kids’ Cancer. This organization raises money to fund research grants for the top seven pediatric cancer centers in the country in order to create less toxic treatments for pediatric cancer. Most of the cancer treatments currently available for children have very harmful side effects that cause long term damage, so this organization is working to help develop treatments that are more effective and less harmful. I have been running on the Varsity Cross Country and Track teams here at Cannon for the past four years, and I wanted to combine this passion that I have for running with a way to support this amazing organization. It would mean the world to me to have your support, whether you would like to participate or donate. The link to sign up or donate is https://my.beagoodcookie.org/TakeABite5k.
