  • 3 p.m. – Easton Senior Center, Frothingham Hall Community Center, 15 Barrows St.

Those in attendance will be able to ask questions and provide important feedback to school officials about the project.

“These particular forums on August 15th will be important because discussions will be held about whether to relocate the district’s central offices or not, if the project is approved,” Superintendent Cabral said. “We will be going over the options for where the district offices could potentially be relocated to and welcome the community’s input. The School Planning Committee will be voting on whether to include central office space in the scope of the project on Aug 21st.”

Easton Educators to Attend Conference on Substance Use Prevention in Montana

EASTON – Superintendent Lisha Cabral is pleased to share that Oliver Ames High School Principal Wes Paul and health teacher Justin Tienhaara will attend the Montana Summer Institute conference next week.

The conference will be held from June 24-28 in Big Sky, Montana. The Montana Summer Institute invites public health professionals, teachers, administrators and others from across the nation to learn how to build healthy, resilient communities by focusing on the positive and celebrating healthy behaviors.

The conference and trip is part of a partnership between Easton Public Schools and Easton Wings of Hope to prevent youth substance use. Easton Wings of Hope is a community coalition that strives to help guide Easton’s youth toward making healthy choices that are recognized, valued and accessible to all. Its mission is to prevent youth substance use through education, awareness and policy change.

The trip is part of Easton Wings of Hope’s first positive community norms campaign. By focusing on positive community norms, Wings of Hope and Easton Public Schools will work together to help Easton’s youth choose to be healthy and substance-free.

Superintendent Cabral would like to thank the Wings of Hope coalition for funding the trip and entry to the conference.

Recognizing positive community norms is an approach used by Dr. Jeff Linkenbach, of the Montana Institute. The approach is used to transform public health by emphasizing the healthy behaviors that are already present in a community. This is achieved by addressing misconceptions and stigmas surrounding unhealthy behaviors, such as youth substance use.

“I am hoping that this conference will provide educators with a variety ways that we can further celebrate and reinforce the good that we have in our community and school system,” Principal Paul said. “We want to empower our students to have a strong influence on one another when it comes to the benefits of living a healthy lifestyle with positive life choices.”

Easton Middle School to Host Massachusetts STEM Week Professional Development Training

EASTON — Superintendent Lisha Cabral is pleased to share that approximately 120 educators will attend a professional development Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) training at Easton Middle School this June.

On Monday, June 17, and Tuesday, June 18, at Easton Middle School, approximately 70 Easton educators and 50 others from nearby communities will attend an i2 Learning training in preparation for the second annual Massachusetts STEM week this October.

The first Massachusetts STEM Week was held in October 2018 in an effort by the Baker-Polito Administration to support middle school students’ interest in STEM education.

i2 Learning is an organization that works to offer students hands-on, immersive STEM learning opportunities by providing professional development, project materials and online support to schools, free of charge. The organization’s services are funded entirely by donations from corporations, local foundations and other organizations including Vertex, Mathworks, State Street, Lynch Foundation, Shah Family Foundation, Boston Foundation and the Massachusetts Life Science Center.

“We’re thrilled to be offering this professional development opportunity to educators from Easton and neighboring communities,” Superintendent Cabral said. “STEM week is a wonderful opportunity for schools to really submerge students in STEM topics and projects, and i2 Learning’s programming and assistance will really bring this October’s events to the next level.”

Educators at the June training will review the engineering design process and project-based learning principles. They will then take on the role of their students and participate in the activities their classes will be tasked with this fall.

“Our staff is looking forward to this opportunity, and the exciting STEM lessons our students will be engaging in this fall,” Superintendent Cabral said. “Thank you to i2 Learning for providing us with the resources and support to give our students a STEM week experience that will fully submerge them in these topics.”

This summer, i2Learning will offer 12-15 workshops and train upwards of 700 Massachusetts educators for this year’s STEM week.
