The completion of the nutrition unit in our high school Physical Training for Active Careers class involved students crafting their own protein smoothies. This emphasized the importance of essential nutrient consumption and the timing of protein intake post-exercise!

Scituate High School’s U.S. Government class participated in a mock election on Wednesday, April 24, after two SHS students Ava Gregory and Isabella DeFusco, volunteered to work with the Rhode Island Department of State’s Director of Civic Education, Suzy Alba. During weekly meetings with Alba, they developed a plan to host a mock election at SHS where they could focus on helping students get more familiar with the voting process and inform them of their voting rights.
“Voter turnout isn’t always that great, especially for younger voters,” said Gregory. “With the election coming up this year, we wanted to make a point to help our peers be more informed and better prepared so they can feel more confident going into the polls.”
Gregory and DeFusco are juniors at SHS who volunteered to be part of the Department of State’s Student Civic Liaison Program last year. The goal of the program is to create connections between local students and their government. Students meet monthly to hear from community leaders, elected officials, and education and non-profit professionals. They also take part in community-focused initiatives such as organizing voting registration drives, creating a civic engagement club, recruiting youth poll workers for primary and general elections, and developing programs that will make a difference in their high schools.
“The networking and leadership skills that Ava and Bella are gaining from this program are invaluable,” said Principal Michael Hassell. “This year will be many of our student’s first time voting in the polls, and practicing filling out a ballot and keeping students informed so that they know their voting rights will help them feel more assured as they prepare for this election.”
Before the mock election began, Gregory and Defusco gave a presentation explaining how young voters can register to vote, what information and documentation they will need, and how they can determine where the closest polling location is. Students were then given a practice ballot and had the opportunity to insert the ballot into a real electronic voting machine run by Elections Information Coordinator Nick Edwards.

During the month of April, Kindergarteners at Clayville learned about the importance of environmental conservation and sustainability. In support of Earth Day, each student came up with a way to help our planet. Most students pledged to help by picking up trash and recycling in an effort to not only protect our planet but our animals, too. Their projects are on display in the hallway leading into the classroom for others to read as they walk by! Nice work everyone!

Our entire school community has been deeply affected this week by the recent passing of our Director of School Counseling, Dan Casey. We extend our condolences to the Casey family, and all students, staff, and Teachers, who are working through this difficult time. Mr. Casey dedicated himself to Scituate Middle/High School for the past five years, first as a school counselor before taking on a bigger role as our Director of School Counseling. He was also our head wrestling coach and played a crucial role in building our program up to where it is today. Mr. Casey connected with nearly every student in our school in some way. In a school community as close-knit as ours, his loss will continue to be deeply felt.
Please know that we are doing everything we can to support students, families, and the entire Scituate community with additional resources and counseling during this time, and we encourage anyone who has been affected by this news to reach out to support services, including those available through our schools.
