Happy Monday!
Secretary of Education Zoie Saunders and VT Commissioner of the Lottery Wendy Knight came to EFMHS to see the innovation in Russ La Mantia’s classroom. Russ’ current project is 3D printing first elements of the periodic table and then he’s going to have them print molecules. The idea is these things are too small for students to even imagine so they “enlarge” and make the concept hands-on with 3D printing. This was all made possible by a $14,000+ Vermont Lottery Grant named Educate/Innovate. Only 2 grants were awarded in the state and this became the showcase! Showcase essentially is to see how innovative tools and experiences can transform the learning process.

Did you know that children can fall behind academically if they miss 10% of school days? That is as few as 2 days per month! September is Attendance Awareness Month. Join FNESU and Monarch Maples Pediatrics in their Attendance Awareness Campaign and work with us to help all kids show up. Being in school supports students’ social, emotional and physical well-being, and provides students with opportunities to learn, achieve, and to reach for their dreams. There are people at school who are available to help if your child struggles with regular attendance. Reach out for support today!
