IN THIS ISSUE, WE'RE COVERING: Hurricane Dorian Disaster Relief Trebuchet Launch Day Athletics Academics Residential Activities Community Service
A STORY BY REBECCA VENABLE As a teacher of students with learning differences, I often hear about the things that these students "cannot do." The week before Thanksgiving, however, eighteen students took on the additional challenge of helping others. I was lucky enough to chaperone these students as we assisted multiple organizations that helped refugees from Hurricane Dorian. At the Humane Society of the Bahamas, our students divided into the dog lovers and cat people. Students walked dogs and snuggled kitties. We were amazed to see that over 200 animals, in various conditions, arrived from the two islands, Abico and Grand Bahama. Our students immediately fell in love with multiple animals. Amanda S., for instance, met "Holiday Monday", a brown, bushy-haired dog. She would have gladly stuffed her new dog friend into her bag and snuck her back into the States!
