Kim Russell, Mohawk Ombudsman and Advisor to the "Sources of Strength" program, and students, Nolan Cooke and Tanner Beaudin presented details about the initiative to the Board of Education on March 12. "Sources of Strength" is a comprehensive wellness program that uses peer leaders to help change norms that prevent students from seeking help when they need it. The program is designed to increase connections between peers and caring adults so that when a student is faced with a crisis he will know where he can turn. Sources of Strength has a true preventative aim in building multiple sources of support for students, so that when times get hard they have strengths to rely on. The "Sources of Strength" program has been active at Salmon River High School for three years. | |

Studio Art students recently completed designs in relief
using cardboard. It seems as though everyone is talking
about "going green" We decided to "go brown". Students
used cardboard scraps to create individual squares while
considering the elements and principles of design. Our
cafeteria and maintenance staff were helpful in obtaining the
cardboard for us. We then grouped their squares into 9"x 9"
installations. We discussed how even though we are all
individuals, we often have much in common, as do our projects. |
