I believe she teaches English.
Plans to host a Culture Celebration Day are being discussed, and tentative dates for after spring recess will be forthcoming. A forum for panel discussion with parents is being planned for an evening, and the re-institution of a newsletter to Lewiston High School families is forthcoming as well. Recently, Mr. Boucles and I met with Somali elders to have a dialogue dealing with recent media coverage and reporting. We are working proactively and positively in understanding each other's issues relative to a sound learning environment for all. A student task force has been established to solicit student input. The Civil Rights team, comprised of students and advised by
Mrs. Joan Macri, has created role-playing scenarios that deal with culture change and discussions that center around them. Faculty forums for discussion and planning have been conducted by administration with positive results. Resources from Bates College, the University of Southern Maine, and the Attorney General's Office have been tapped and suggested personnel for consult work have been identified. The process of climate change can be challenging and intriguing as one might imagine. A well-informed student body and faculty can create a smooth transition. We at Lewiston High School are fortunate to have the dedication and support of both groups to make this happen and only time will assist us in preparing for this paradigm shift. I am confident we are utilizing the right approach.
