Planting a Sead

The week of GFA and Polybel passed. Our last two groups of the fall season have come and gone and the experience for our staff, the visiting chaperones and, most importantly, the students was wonderful. As we do often are, we are thankful to the weather which made hiking, Underground Railroad, astronomy and every other class as enjoyable as they could be for both groups. So now, we have turned our our attention to the development of our staff and the development of our campus. First, we spent the first day after the end of the fall season at the WIld Center in Tupper Lake. The staff of the Wild Center gave us a behind the scenes tour of the center, letting us meet all of the animals, those that are on display and those being nursed back to health. In addition, we were able to spend a lot of time in the museum seeing all of the displays and adding to our already deep knowledge about the Adirondack Park. And now, with this incredibly mild weather (once again, thank you!) we have begun the never ending quest to continue to upgrade our campus. A little fence mending here, a little reinsulation there- with 300 acres and over 5 buildings, you can always find something to do! Lastly, I am on my way to Montreal for the annual SPEAQ conference. It is a gathering of all teachers of english in the province of Quebec. We love going to this conference and have gotten a lot of clients from it. Tomorrow night is our Underground Railroad community event and next week is the Pie in the Sky, astronomy and pizza slam, community event. Go to the website for more details.
