LENOX — Principal Jeremiah Ames is pleased to share that LMMHS is partnering with the Anti-Defamation League’s Peer Training Program to provide anti-bias and anti-bullying training to students.
26 LMMHS students – including 11 sophomores, 12 juniors, and three seniors – are participating in training to become Peer Training Advisors, facilitated by World of Difference Institute Director Phil Fogelman and ADL Training Consultant Diane Drakes. The first training dates occurred on Wednesday, Dec. 13 and Thursday, Dec. 14. The final training date will be held on Friday, Jan. 5.
After completing the training, these students will run anti-bias and anti-bullying workshops for other LMMHS students throughout the year.
Through the ADL’s A World of Difference Institute Peer Training Program, Peer Trainers learn to understand and challenge bias and bullying; practice anti-bias facilitation skills; and take on a leadership role in their schools, positively influencing school culture by modeling respect, allyship, and civility.
Student advisors are Business and Technology Teacher Heather McNeice and English Teacher Scott Wade.
"We are excited about the difference these peer leaders can make and hope they can lead discussions that will help LMMHS become an even more inclusive place where all students feel welcome and safe," said Principal Ames. "Each of these students embodies Lenox's values of creating a 'Brave and Safe Space' and we look forward to seeing what they accomplish in the future."
LENOX — Principal Jeremiah Ames is pleased to share that the Lenox Memorial Middle High School Robotics program recently received an $8,000 grant from General Dynamics and the United States Navy to purchase new equipment.
The $8,000 in funding was used to purchase 20 new Lego SPIKE Prime kits, which are now being utilized by Lenox students.
Two of the kits were donated by Robotics Teacher Matthew Coté to the newly reestablished Middle School Robotics Club. The last time LMMHS had a middle school robotics team was in 2012.
Coté has been using Lego Robotics since 2006 in his Grade 8 curriculum. Recently, Lego decided to phase out its old line and replace it with its new line, Lego SPIKE Prime.
Coté decided to apply for grant funding to obtain this new equipment through a grant program courtesy of General Dynamics and the United States Navy. The District was notified that it had received a $8,000 grant in early December.
The new Lego SPIKE Prime kits will be used in Berkshire Robotics Challenge in March. The Middle School Robotics Club will practice for the annual competition using the donated kits.
Coté is acting as co-advisor to the club along with SPED Paraprofessional Amanda Terzigni, and is also the lead mentor for the High School Robotics Club.
“I cannot thank General Dynamics and the Navy enough for this grant funding,” said Coté.
