Kylie Schell, director of Encompass Recreation, a local non-profit that aims to provide sports and recreational opportunities to youth with higher support needs, provided us with a "beta" version of their "Playground Core Communication Board". By using the communication board, students that struggle to communicate, no matter the reason, have an opportunity to share their needs and feelings, and those students that effectively communicate verbally can also use the board to "talk" with others. It's a win-win for everyone! South Lewis, along with two other schools will provide feedback on this new tool to Encompass Recreation to compile and create a single board for all local schools to have. Thank you for letting us be part of this project!

Let's hear it for these South Lewis High School Students of the Month for April. HOORAY for Katelyn Gigliotti and Andrew Golden! As a 9th grade student, Katelyn Gigliotti has a whole lotta (or is it "whole lotti"?) kindness and caring. She stays involved with the Falcon community and is always willing to lend a helping hand. Andrew Golden, a 10th grade student, is the guy with a golden smile (and it's worth a whole lotta more). Andrew is hard-working and kind and cares deeply for his friends and South Lewis family. Well done, young people! We thank you for sharing your light!

Nathalie is the High School Artist of the Month for March! Nathalie has been part of the art room for all of her spectacular high school career. She throws pottery on the wheel and has used almost every glaze we have with many dynamic combinations. She goes with her mood of the day and might be painting with acrylics, watercolors, or tempera. She also hand-builds creations with clay that is unique. Nathalie moves around the room sending love and good vibes to everyone. She is my mini-student teacher and a ray of sunshine.
