Education, Mentoring and Camp Work

 

Retired Scotia-Glenville educator Jeff Kimble was our speaker on Thursday. He managed the credit recovery program there, and said the Covid pandemic has intensified and spread the "toxic stress" levels which many students experience at home and bring with them to school. But that can be offset, he said, by a student connecting with a stable caring adult mentor.

On Saturday, six of our members -- Kristen Stanley, Miles Cornthwaite, Helen Endres, Larry Levine, Bob and Barbara Conner, worked on cleaning up cabins and brush at Pine Grove camp on the west side of Saratoga Springs, where the families of race track workers will be spending the summer.
