WHAT PARENTS NEED TO KNOW ABOUT HEAD LICE

We are STILL experiencing cases of head lice here at UES, as are other schools.  We know that it is never a pleasant issue to deal with, but having the facts can make it a bit easier.  If you or someone you know is having this unwelcome experience, this article is for you!

Cubbies

Notice anything different about the first floor hallways lately?  Not only do we have beautiful art adorning the walls and boots neatly lined up outside our doors, but we now have GORGEOUS birchwood cubbies!

Space is at a premium here at UES.  Through a collaborative effort with the Department of Corrections educational work program we now have hand-crafted cubbies.  This program is a valuable tool for the inmates, as it teaches them drafting, computer animated drawings (CAD), how to build high quality furniture, and

how to give back to the community.
This week, Mrs. Fiorentino-Robinson’s class worked with their second grade book buddies from Mr. McLane’s class and wrote thank you notes to the “craftsmen” at the facility.  This seamlessly fit in with our C.A.R.E.S curriculum, as we were able to talk about taking RESPONSIBILITY not only for things we’ve done, but for the good things that are done for us and for our community.  

To the right is a sample of one of our letters, to be mailed off later this week:

We truly live in a great community with lots of Big Picture learning here at UES.  Enjoy!
