Windham Mountain Ski Trip

Every year our students at the Pathfinder School take a field trip to Windham Mountain. This year we were fortunate enough to have two sunny days with fresh powder. The Adaptive Sport Foundation at Windham Mountain did a spectacular job helping our students through this amazing opportunity. We had so much fun and we are looking forward to next year!

Enjoy the video,

National wear RED day

"The color red represents strength, joy and power and during American Heart Month in February, it symbolizes the fight against heart disease in women.
One in three women die of heart disease or stroke every year, according to the American Heart Association. Education and lifestyle changes, however, can prevent 80 percent of cardiac events.
“This is an important opportunity to raise awareness that heart disease is not just a man’s disease, to stop and honor the many people struggling with heart disease, and to celebrate the advances we’ve seen over the years against heart disease and stroke,” said American Heart Association CEO Nancy Brown.
The cause behind the color is Go Red For Women, a movement the AHA started more a decade ago to fight a life-threatening lack of awareness about heart disease in women, which extended to many physicians and researchers." - http://blog.heart.org/red-sweeps-nation-month-support-womens-heart-health/
In honor of this day all of our Pathfinder School students and staff came up with their "Why" in supporting this cause. Watch the video below to find out our many reasons on why this is so important to our school.
