Making the Best of a Power Outage

Making the Best of the Power Outage
It’s been a busy day here at Stonehedge. While we were down with no power and internet, we were still able to hold a wonderfully inspiring Positivity Project assembly and continue with fun and alternative teaching techniques.
A kudos to all our staff and teachers for working together to persevere through a day filled with challenges. We were fortunate to have a warm day, so the building remained at a comfortable temperature. We had water and some alternative lighting.
A big thank you to the WGMS cafeteria staff for helping us prepare lunches on time.
The Buildings and Grounds staff was also here to lend a helping hand to transport anything we needed between the two buildings.
Dr. Brown visited Stonehedge and was in constant contact throughout the day. Teachers, staff, and students all worked together to make the best of this day.  It truly takes a village!

The Power of Positivity
At this morning’s assembly, students learned about the power of perseverance and self-control. After listening to a story based on the novel “We’re All Wonders” by R.J. Palacio, two guest speakers took the floor and truly inspired our youngest students. Former Stonehedge students Scotty Fura, a ninth grader at WGHS, and Molly McIntyre, a seventh grader at WGMS discussed the struggles they have experienced throughout their lives. It was an amazing assembly and we’ll include more details and pictures in the next blog.
Enjoy the long weekend. See you on Tuesday.
