Kudos to Principal Kristina Lamia and her dedicated staff for the amazing virtual graduation they put together for three very special students, the Leach graduates of 2020. The day began as staff from the school did a special drive-by celebration at all three graduates' homes. The day concluded with a virtual commencement exercise with remarks by Principal Kristina Lamia, keynote speaker Senator Nicole Poore (mother of graduate Nicholas Poore),, Superintendent Dr. Jeffrey Menzer, and board member Lucy Kennedy. Good luck and best wishes to graduates, Nick Poore, Kevin Caicedo, and Tiffany Demby as they embark on life after their time in Colonial and just remember . . . Once a Colonial, Always a Colonial!

Last week, Colonial's Director of Behavior Health, Dr. Jon Cooper (above) shared information about the importance of separating out what you can and cannot control.  This week, he is sharing information about the value of “noticing and managing your worried thoughts.”  As you go about your daily tasks this week, we hope that you find the information below helpful.
