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.

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. We are now inviting senior and junior parents to get involved in this year’s planning. Whether you can help organize events, support fundraising efforts, or share fresh ideas, your involvement is essential. Project Graduation happens only because of the dedication and creativity of parent volunteers. If you are interested in joining the committee or would like to learn more, please reach out to tarah.hubbard@lamoillesouth.org. 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.

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.
