What a joy it has been to attend so many traditional HSS events for the first time. The Fourth Grade Watershed Congress was amazing. It took place at Storrs Hill and the students rotated between a number of stations where they learned about fly tying, fly fishing, the water cycle, the health of the watershed, and so much more. The third graders visited Squam Lake and the Hood and the first graders had a wild water party on the school fields. I also got to watch some of the students test their engineering skills as they launched their egg contraptions off of the bleachers to see if their eggs would survive the fall. It was also fun to see so many staff and students at the Lebanon Farmer's Market last Thursday on a beautiful evening.

I am looking forward to experiencing field day, the kindergarten celebration, the fourth grade parade, and Sing America. It's been an amazing way to wrap up a great year!

Stephanie received a wonderful award for her 20 years of work with Trout in the Classroom and the Lebanon Student Watershed Congress. She does extraordinary work with organizations across the state to put on this wonderful annual event with the fourth grade team. This award was in honor of her leadership and ability to get people involved. It is well deserved.

Vermont Artist Mark Ragonese has been working with all of our students during their art classes and the project is well on its way!

Summer is near which leads to lots of outdoor activities and fun in the sun. However, too much sun and heat can be harmful. Do you know the difference between heat exhaustion vs. heat stroke? What do you need to look for and how do you treat these conditions?

Cool places to cool down this summer:

• The Lebanon Pool

• The Mascoma River

• The Connecticut River

• Storrs Pond

• Sunapee State Park

In good health,
