On Sunday, October 19, STEM teacher Mr. Weiss, XC coach Sam Alley, and 11 HS students traveled to Montreal to attend an international short track speed skating event as part of the Short Track World Tour. For almost 5 hours they watched the currently best short track speed skaters in the world compete against each other in 24 exciting races. The music was awesome, the atmosphere electric, and the audience boiling over at times.

Peoples Academy High School is partnering with the Clarina Howard Nichols Center on a school safety project that will last for the next 4 years. The goal of the project, Together Empowering youth through Action and Leadership (TEAL), is to support Peoples Academy to be a place where students feel safe, connected, and like they belong.

A group of students at Peoples Academy has been working together to learn how schools can be safer and has chosen three areas to focus on next year:

• Making the school buildings and spaces safer.
• Strengthening ways to fix problems and address harm.
• Giving students a chance to share their voices and lead.

We are asking parents/caregivers to complete the below survey by October 24th to help identify strengths and challenges in the areas listed above. Students will be completing the survey at school on October 22nd.

The Graduation date has been set by the School Board for Thursday, June 11th, 2025. We will have more details to come as we get closer to the end of the year.

The first Project Graduation Planning Committee Meeting will be on Tuesday Oct. 28th in the PA library from 6:00 - 7:00.

This event is completely organized and led by parents. From planning the activities to coordinating fundraisers, it is parents who make this special, drug and alcohol free night possible. If you are interested in joining the committee or would like to learn more, please reach out to shellycitron@gmail.com. Together, we can continue this tradition and give our graduates the safe and memorable celebration they deserve.

Peoples Academy and VSAC will be hosting a FAFSA Forms Workshop on Thursday, October 23rd @ 6:00 in the library. This workshop is an opportunity for Seniors and their parents/guardians to receive one-on-one assistance submitting the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), which is required to get any financial aid for college or training after high school. There will also be time for families to ask questions and learn more about the financial aid process, including grants, scholarships, and more.

You will find an attached document with step-by-step instructions on how to create an FSA ID. This will be needed to sign and submit your FAFSA. Feel free to create the ID before you come, it will help streamline the application process. Please reach out to lindsey.yablonowski@lamoillesouth.org with any questions.

Students in Computer Art & Design took a break from technology to get their hands dirty.

It's an original resource and REFERRAL tool for basic needs like housing, food, utilities, and transportation. The emphasis is on referrals, because not only can you find information about hundreds of organizations on the side, you can also refer yourself or others and make a direct connection with those organizations.

The site is free to use and has information about local (e.g. neighborhood food shelf), state (e.g. Department of Health), and ational (e.g. Veterans Affairs) resources. It can also be translated into over 100 different languages.
