Dear Parents and Caregivers,
The Windham Central Supervisory Union would like to invite all parents of students in PreK-8th grade to attend a new workshop called Nurturing Healthy Sexual Development. This workshop opportunity is made possible by Prevent Child Abuse Vermont and the Vermont Children’s Trust Fund. Nurturing Healthy Sexual Development is designed to provide information on children’s healthy sexual development and help adults become more comfortable talking with children about sexuality.
In this workshop, parents and caregivers will:
➢ Learn about the different stages of children’s sexual development and common behaviors in each stage
➢ Develop skills and strategies to support healthy development
➢ Discuss the challenges of raising children in a culture that sends mixed messages about sexuality
➢ Learn how to answer children’s questions in age-appropriate, non-shaming ways
The workshop is scheduled for Monday, June 5th, 2017 from 6:00-7:30 at Leland and Gray Union Middle & High School.
If you have any questions or would like more information, please feel free to contact Hannah Parker at hparker@windhamcentral.org.
Please R.S.V.P. to Melanie Zwolinski at mzwolinski@lelandandgray.org regarding whether or not you’ll be attending. We look forward to seeing and hearing from you!
Leland and Gray Players present Mac Wellman’s DRACULA
TOWNSHEND Leland and Gray Players’ last show of its twenty-first season is Mac Wellman’s Dracula. Wellman’s is an “adaptation of Bram Stoker's classic novel that preserves the Victorian tendencies of his writing while veering wildly into new vampire territory…. Wickedly clever language and an often nightmarish world combine to create a Dracula unlike it's ever been seen before,” according to Playscripts.com. The characters are outrageous; the humor is ample and dark; the student-created production design and incidental music will really round out a pretty exciting evening, “ director and producer Annie Landenberger adds.
The Players’ production features junior Kenneth Cashman as Count Dracula, junior Anastasia Stevens as Mina Harker; sophomore Gabrel Vanni-Phillips as Jonathan Harker; junior Adam Culver as Dr. Jack Seward; freshman Veronica Stevens as Lucy Westenra; sophomore Sam Thibault as Professor Van Helsing; Luke Parker-Jennings, grade 8, as Simmons; Peter Broussard, grade 7, as Quincy Morris and the Coachman. Freshmen Bay Holmes, juniors Rebekah Winot and Rebecca Williams; Abbie Hazelton, Pia Burke and Alice Coyne, grade 8, are the blood thirsting Greek chorus-like Vampyrettes. The cast is rounded out by Raena Sanderson, Hannah Landers and Evelyn Swim, all in grade 7.

These students felt incredibly supported and proud today at their basketball game. Never before have I seen these students work in tandem with one another with such focus and determination!
