The mission of the Chippewa County Alternate School is to provide at-risk students with the opportunities they need to graduate and to acquire the academic and life skills they need to become contributing members of their home, school and society. All three are credit remediation programs designed to help students catch up on credits so they would be able to graduate with their class. Those students that are not able to acquire enough credits to graduate on time are allowed to return to complete the academic work and earn their diploma. Bowling Trip Students who need phy ed credits are required to participate in eight different activities throughout the semester in order to get a half-credit. There are many different activities that we can choose from.
Teachers take different activities to supervise throughout the year.
On Friday, March 16, nine students went to Falls Bowl for one of their activities. I participated in this event and really enjoyed it. The play lasted for two hours with one fifteen minute intermission. The play was about how the idyllic calm of a small Vermont college campus is shattered by a series of racial incidents. Hate letters are posted on the dorm room of one of the school's few African-American students.
