Environmental Club Update:

11/24/2020

 
On Saturday, Nov. 21 members of the Old Lyme Open Space Commission and 25 members of the LOLHS Environmental Club met at the Champlain North Open Space to help clear invasive species from the base of the Barbizon Oak. The Barbizon Oak is a 300-year-old white oak that is named after the Old Lyme art colony of the same name. Members of the Open Space Commission, including co-chair Amanda Blair and forester Evan Griswold, joined students to share information about the history of the property, the Barbizon Oak, and efforts to establish and reroute several trails. LOLHS EC members have agreed to become stewards of the property which is within walking distance of the high school campus and to participate in a number of upcoming community activities. If you are interested in coming out to get involved, please email Mrs. Fried at friedh@region18.org and ask to be added to our mailing list.

Bulletin Board: The Importance of Mexican Street Food. 
​By: Emma Boardman
 
​
"As a part of the National Spanish Honor Society, we are always looking for ways to appreciate and learn about new cultures that may not be familiar to us. For our bulletin board, we wanted to bring light to a very important aspect of Mexican culture… their street food! By taking recipes and the history behind some of the most prevalent street foods in Mexico and putting them on the bulletin board, we are teaching the students of Lyme-Old Lyme high school about one of the most important aspects of Mexican culture. We covered foods like Churros, Tacos, Gorditas and more! Make sure to check out the pictures attached and try to make some of these fun recipes at home

Calligraphy in Chinese Class!

11/24/2020

 
​The Chinese I classes are learning all about Chinese calligraphy - its cultural value and historical significance in the Chinese society. Students are also becoming experts in understanding and deciphering the five different styles of calligraphy; as well, they are practicing this ancient form of writing that's not only known for its artistic value, but more importantly, for its communicative functions in language learning and its real life applications, such as its wide use in commercial signs.

HS101 Learn Stress Relief Strategies

11/21/2020

 
Picture
​Based on feedback from a student survey in High School 101, Mrs. Traver and Mrs. Hedwall noticed that many students reported feeling stressed during tests and quizzes. They contacted Mrs. Ulasevich, the new TASC tutor, to teach a lesson about stress relief strategies. During the lesson, students learned about stress and the body’s reaction to stress. They were introduced to three breathing techniques that would help them feel more relaxed and focused. After trying them out, students shared that the strategies were effective in helping them feel calmer!

District Challenge: Plastic Recycling

11/21/2020

 
Picture
​The Sustainability Committee is excited to announce that the Trex Plastic Film Recycling Challenge will be taking place in all Region 18 schools this year.
 
The Trex Challenge pits schools against one another in a friendly competition to collect the most plastic for a chance to win Trex benches or other products for schools. Trex Company is a manufacturer of wood-alternative decking and railing made in-part from recycled plastic film.
 
The Trex Challenge officially begins November 15, 2020 and ends on April 15, 2021. Trex collection bins are located near the main entrances of each school. Students are encouraged to place film directly into the bins on their way into school.
 
Plastic films MUST be clean, dry, empty, and free of food residue. Please remove air from pillow-pack bubble wrap. If you see a #2 or #4 recycle symbol, it can go in the trex bin. Generally, if the plastic film stretches, it can go in the trex bin. See below for examples of what can be recycled in the Trex Challenge.
 
Plastic-like film that is labeled as “compostable” can not be accepted in the Trex Challenge, because the material may not contain any plastic. Freezer bags (think frozen berries) can also not be accepted.
 
Keeping plastic out of landfills is one way Trex and Region 18 are contributing to a healthy environment!

Honoring Our Veterans

11/15/2020

 
On Wednesday, in lieu of our traditional Veterans Day Assembly, students participated in a virtual ceremony. The video below was presented to all students and included messages from veterans, video clips from each school as well as  messages of thanks to all who have served. Additionally, students were given the opportunity to write a letter to a service member currently serving and each student was provided with a flag to place outside of the school.  Veterans Day 2020 definitely had a different feel but the message and meaning was not lost.

Students in APUSH participated in the Antebellum reformers “speed dating” performance task.
