From Ms. Johnston: "We are so excited to welcome Franco and Llyr back on campus! We need our pup friends more than ever- even for those who seem to be fine. Benefits of working with a therapy dog are many, both physically and emotionally. They include helping us feel calm and relaxed, lowering anxiety, alleviating loneliness, enhancing social engagement and interaction, reducing stress, reducing depression and increasing pleasure. Thank you Lisa and Honor for sharing your best friends with us. "

Thanks to a STARS residency grant from the Massachusetts Cultural Council, Mount Everett students spent a week with Shawn Stevens from the Stockbridge Munsee Band of Mohicans. Shawn shared his history and culture with us through presentations and projects. Students also worked after school and all weekend to build a wigwam, all the while learning about traditional Mohican practices.
