Mountain Day is Coming Soon!
by Zoey Perry
On October 11, 2024, we will be going on a trip we call Mountain Day. It is a Compass tradition! This time we will be going to Mount Ascutney on the Weathersfield trail. It is an all day trip and we would love for you to join us.
We need more parent drivers to help with transportation because we no longer have a bus driver. All parent and guardian chaperones are welcome.
Cher is providing bag lunches for mountain day for $5 or you can bring a lunch from home.
Gabe will be sending out an email with more details including a google form to help us plan so please watch your inbox. If you have any other questions about Mountain Day contact Gabe.
⭐️New Teacher Feature⭐️
Meet Rachel Golden-Coup!
by Jacksyn McCallister and Carter Decoste
Rachel said she came to Compass and left the public education system because she felt pigeon holed in her school.
She said, “They expected me to do so much without enough resources and tools to help me. I like the education style of the Compass and that it is a more student-led educational experience. I also like having more of a relationship with my students, giving me more of a community feeling”. Rachel teaches middle school math, middle school science, and fiber arts. For hobbies she likes to walk, doing wildlife photography and generally be outside.
Junior Class Begins Fundraising
for their Global Connections Trip
As part of the Global Connections Program at Compass School every 11th grader takes part in a trip later in the school year. Students build deeper friendships while learning about the culture, people, and environment of the place they travel to. A lot of planning and fundraising goes into these trips.
This year’s Junior Class will be selling Cher’s homemade cookies and brownies on Thursday 10/4 at pick up! Cookie flavors: chocolate chip, sugar and oatmeal raisin. $5/bag for a sweet treat your family will love.
