On hot days at @skyviewms , the uncomfortable temperature and stuffy air quality make it difficult to learn. Many teachers attempt to ease some of that discomfort by bringing in fans, many of which are loud, dirty and transmit dust and debris into the air. The @youthventure_cooltheschool learned that when students are hot and uncomfortable, they can't focus or remember as well; therefore, their learning becomes hindered. They researched environmentally friendly (and noise friendly) fans to purchase. Cool the School purchased fans for Sky View - making a difference in the classrooms of 30 teachers, positively affecting teachers' work, students' learning and the overall environment at school. Their future goals are to replace more classroom fans at their school, and then other schools in the district.

“We’re empowering educators to facilitate student-driven learning, and it’s not all set in stone...but I know it’s going to be great!” - Gina Wironen #changemakered We have been so energized these past few days! We've been working with @ashoka_usa to implement the #changemaking program, here in #northcentralma. We've invited area teachers and administrators from our engaged partner schools (shout out to @fitchburgpublicschools, Gardner Public Schools and @LeominsterPublicSchools, @mountwachusett ) and have talked extensively about new ways to engage their students and schools to make them more about empowerment/higher learning beyond the test. Today was particularly exciting, because we learned what they have already started to implement and the lessons they've learned. #socialentrepreneurs #unitedwaymakingadifference #unitedway #socialent #youngleaders #bettertomorrow #changingthefuture #buddingentrepreneurs #unitedwayyouthventure #uwyv #ventureinspiration #changemakers
Alumni Highlight! Peer Initiated Tutoring is a #ventureteam that launched in 2015. They identified academics as an area that they were concerned about and implemented a #tutoring service to their peers. This year they have expanded their services to include test reviews for specific classes at Leominster High! http://ow.ly/d/72gq #socialventures #makingachange #academics #socialentrepreneurs #socialent #socialchange #community #communityfirst #socialventure #changeisgood #makeadifference #haveapositiveimpact #tutoring #northcentralma
In honor of our first snow flurry here in #northcentralma I brought out my new little buddy for my #christmasminis to let you know I will be making an announcement of my #christmassessions this weekend! Stay tuned!!

*Congrats Juniors! / Adult Classes Soon* Hey there Insta-friends! If you're seeing this, there's a strong chance you've seen the posts of my junior Karate students (4 of which that recently passed their first promotional exam!). Well, it's time to start building an adult class, and I'd love your help if: A) You/someone you know is genuinely interested B) You're in the Gardner area where classes are held Besides learning the essentials of self protection, and improving your health and fitness, Karate is an excellent way to teach you to push past your perceived limits, and develop confidence and focus. If it sounds like it's for you, message me with your availability, or tag your local friends! Private sessions/groups available for martial arts, personal training, and yoga (I've got certifications in each). #gardner #gardnerma #templeton #templetonma #winchendon #winchendonma #ashburnham #ashburnhamma #westminster #westminsterma #hubbardston #hunbardstonma #phillipston #phillipstonma #worcestercounty #northcentralma #gvegas #01440 #karate #karatedo #gojuryu #gojukai #martialart #martialarts #goju

Thanks to @ncmchamber for allowing me to present a scholarship to one of these fantastic High School seniors from the region. They are an inspiring group that will undoubtably make us proud! #northcentralma #futureleaders #avidialife
The beautiful thing about this area, and New England in general, is that you can travel just a few minutes, and be deep in the woods, and not see anyone for hours... That is of course, except for your good friend who tosses a couple of IPAs in your pack and says "I know a trail." Three and a half hours of snowshoeing yesterday through trees, over swamps, right up to beaver lodges (they apparently have designated bathrooms?!) and bush whacking when the daylight fades. Slept well last night.
