A walk on the Wild Side
Keith has been teaching at the secondary level for twenty five years with nineteen of those at High Mowing Since coming to High Mowing he has origi-nated and developed the Naturalist Program which is an interdisciplinary offering of Natural History Primitive Skills and Rite-of-Passage experiences He strives to reconnect youth to the natural world forging a rela-tionship that will serve them throughout their lives

Q Why is the program so important to you
A The Naturalist Program is important to me because the human disconnect from nature has never been so great This has repercussions on many levels of our society As educators we observe how the plight of todayrsquos youth is bound to the increasing artificiality of our culture It is as if we have lost our roots and so we have lost our way I believe that our physical and moral health mirror our relationship to the natural world and that the journey of discovery we undertake while exploring naturersquos wealth is a direct path to the opening of the human heart
Q What else to you teach at our school
A I am responsible for High Mowingrsquos Athletics Program which also has a direct connection to our studentsrsquo health and the overcoming of inertia On top of that we have a lot of fun playing sports
Q What are you looking forward to in the next school year
A Well for starters Irsquom pretty excited about offering a Naturalist Trimester next fall This is a direct result of our Academy work where wersquove taken up the idea of creating immersion experiences for our students
Keith Badgercontinued
Skills which are introduced in the first year of the Naturalist
Program are developed in a deeper way over subsequent years Students learn to track
animals orient themselves with map and compass and make
life-sustaining shelters and fires out of what is available in the
woods Shown to the right are

I have taken Thoreaursquos statement of ldquoIn Wildness is the preservation of the Worldrdquo to heart and fully believe in the power of Rite-of-Passage experiences for adolescents I look forward to exploring and fully developing these opportunities here at High Mow-ing This could include more collaboration with my colleagues to develop additional learning adventuresmdashparticularly those beyond the conventional classroom
I hope to branch out in this way so my name is not just synonymous with the Naturalist
Program but intertwined with the true naturalist tradition that gave birth to some of the worldrsquos greatest scientists
Finally Irsquod love to convert our New York students to Red Sox Nation fans

High Mowing Students Enter the Debate on E-Cigarettes
On Thursday April 15 Georgia Doing rsquo12 and Jaimen Perez rsquo11 testified in front of the New Hampshire Senate Commerce Committee on House Bill 1541 This bill would prohibit the sale of e-cigarettes to minors under the age of 18 Georgia and Jaimen testified as representatives of the New Hampshire Youth Networkmdashpart of Breathe NH which promotes lung health
E-cigarettes are electronic devices that are plugged into the wall to recharge much like a cell phone They originated in Asia as smoking cessation aids Now in the western world they have become the newest nicotine delivery product Small nico-tine cartridges are inserted into the e-cigarette Here they are mixed with water in a heating chamber creating a liquid This mixture becomes a vapor when the device is used It is actually called ldquovapingrdquo not ldquosmokingrdquo
The main issue with e-cigarettes involves a lack of restrictions and regulations on the product A ten-year-old could actually buy one if interested Interestingly evidence suggests that e-cigarettes are being advertised promoted and targeted at young people The nicotine cartridges come in youth-oriented flavors like chocolate straw-berry bubble gum butterscotch marshmallow and others They are sold at malls in New Hampshire often outside stores popular with teens Ads have also been seen on Facebook
Bill 1541 was voted on this past week The bill would make e-cigarettes the same as regular cigarettes in terms of the law At the hearing Georgia and Jaimen displayed and explained the operation and function of an e-cigarette Several other students from various schools also testified building quite a case The hearing went well and the bill is expected to pass mdashJaimen Perez Class of 2011

More College Acceptances Congratulations PJ Friel University of New Hampshire Ariana Taylor Savannah College of Art and Design (GA) Haley Clougherty Hampshire College (MA) Matthais Fuell Cornell College (IA)
from the Guidance
Office
ACCEPTANCE AND FINANCIAL AID
Seniors must inform all colleges of their decisions prior to the May 1 Candidates Decision Day Many families are still reviewing financial
aid award letters Families with changes to their financial situations should notify
the colleges a financial aid counselor can change a studentrsquos financial aid award
based on unusual circumstances Professional judgment policies may differ from
school to school however So if your financial situation has changed dramatically
since filing the FAFSA contact the appropriate financial aid office Sudden unem-
ployment of a parent unusual medical expenses etc can lead to increased aid
Keep in mind that adjustments to aid awards are not usually based on negotia-
tions but on actual financial changes Yet even without a significant change if the
initial aid offered prohibits a student from attending a first-choice college contact
their financial aid office Occasionally there may be more aid available to a student
who simply requests it

ACCEPTANCE AND FINANCIAL AID
Seniors must inform all colleges of their decisions prior to the May 1 Candidates Decision Day Many families are still reviewing financial
aid award letters Families with changes to their financial situations should notify
the colleges a financial aid counselor can change a studentrsquos financial aid award
based on unusual circumstances Professional judgment policies may differ from
school to school however So if your financial situation has changed dramatically
since filing the FAFSA contact the appropriate financial aid office Sudden unem-
ployment of a parent unusual medical expenses etc can lead to increased aid
Keep in mind that adjustments to aid awards are not usually based on negotia-
tions but on actual financial changes Yet even without a significant change if the
initial aid offered prohibits a student from attending a first-choice college contact
their financial aid office Occasionally there may be more aid available to a student
who simply requests it

I have taken Thoreaursquos statement of ldquoIn Wildness is the preservation of the Worldrdquo to heart and fully believe in the power of Rite-of-Passage experiences for adolescents I look forward to exploring and fully developing these opportunities here at High Mow-ing This could include more collaboration with my colleagues to develop additional learning adventuresmdashparticularly those beyond the conventional classroom
I hope to branch out in this way so my name is not just synonymous with the Naturalist
Program but intertwined with the true naturalist tradition that gave birth to some of the worldrsquos greatest scientists
Finally Irsquod love to convert our New York students to Red Sox Nation fans

High Mowing Students Enter the Debate on E-Cigarettes
On Thursday April 15 Georgia Doing rsquo12 and Jaimen Perez rsquo11 testified in front of the New Hampshire Senate Commerce Committee on House Bill 1541 This bill would prohibit the sale of e-cigarettes to minors under the age of 18 Georgia and Jaimen testified as representatives of the New Hampshire Youth Networkmdashpart of Breathe NH which promotes lung health
E-cigarettes are electronic devices that are plugged into the wall to recharge much like a cell phone They originated in Asia as smoking cessation aids Now in the western world they have become the newest nicotine delivery product Small nico-tine cartridges are inserted into the e-cigarette Here they are mixed with water in a heating chamber creating a liquid This mixture becomes a vapor when the device is used It is actually called ldquovapingrdquo not ldquosmokingrdquo
The main issue with e-cigarettes involves a lack of restrictions and regulations on the product A ten-year-old could actually buy one if interested Interestingly evidence suggests that e-cigarettes are being advertised promoted and targeted at young people The nicotine cartridges come in youth-oriented flavors like chocolate straw-berry bubble gum butterscotch marshmallow and others They are sold at malls in New Hampshire often outside stores popular with teens Ads have also been seen on Facebook
Bill 1541 was voted on this past week The bill would make e-cigarettes the same as regular cigarettes in terms of the law At the hearing Georgia and Jaimen displayed and explained the operation and function of an e-cigarette Several other students from various schools also testified building quite a case The hearing went well and the bill is expected to pass mdashJaimen Perez Class of 2011

High Mowing Students Enter the Debate on E-Cigarettes
On Thursday April 15 Georgia Doing rsquo12 and Jaimen Perez rsquo11 testified in front of the New Hampshire Senate Commerce Committee on House Bill 1541 This bill would prohibit the sale of e-cigarettes to minors under the age of 18 Georgia and Jaimen testified as representatives of the New Hampshire Youth Networkmdashpart of Breathe NH which promotes lung health
E-cigarettes are electronic devices that are plugged into the wall to recharge much like a cell phone They originated in Asia as smoking cessation aids Now in the western world they have become the newest nicotine delivery product Small nico-tine cartridges are inserted into the e-cigarette Here they are mixed with water in a heating chamber creating a liquid This mixture becomes a vapor when the device is used It is actually called ldquovapingrdquo not ldquosmokingrdquo
The main issue with e-cigarettes involves a lack of restrictions and regulations on the product A ten-year-old could actually buy one if interested Interestingly evidence suggests that e-cigarettes are being advertised promoted and targeted at young people The nicotine cartridges come in youth-oriented flavors like chocolate straw-berry bubble gum butterscotch marshmallow and others They are sold at malls in New Hampshire often outside stores popular with teens Ads have also been seen on Facebook
Bill 1541 was voted on this past week The bill would make e-cigarettes the same as regular cigarettes in terms of the law At the hearing Georgia and Jaimen displayed and explained the operation and function of an e-cigarette Several other students from various schools also testified building quite a case The hearing went well and the bill is expected to pass mdashJaimen Perez Class of 2011

High Mowing Students Enter the Debate on E-Cigarettes
On Thursday April 15 Georgia Doing rsquo12 and Jaimen Perez rsquo11 testified in front of the New Hampshire Senate Commerce Committee on House Bill 1541 This bill would prohibit the sale of e-cigarettes to minors under the age of 18 Georgia and Jaimen testified as representatives of the New Hampshire Youth Networkmdashpart of Breathe NH which promotes lung health
E-cigarettes are electronic devices that are plugged into the wall to recharge much like a cell phone They originated in Asia as smoking cessation aids Now in the western world they have become the newest nicotine delivery product Small nico-tine cartridges are inserted into the e-cigarette Here they are mixed with water in a heating chamber creating a liquid This mixture becomes a vapor when the device is used It is actually called ldquovapingrdquo not ldquosmokingrdquo
The main issue with e-cigarettes involves a lack of restrictions and regulations on the product A ten-year-old could actually buy one if interested Interestingly evidence suggests that e-cigarettes are being advertised promoted and targeted at young people The nicotine cartridges come in youth-oriented flavors like chocolate straw-berry bubble gum butterscotch marshmallow and others They are sold at malls in New Hampshire often outside stores popular with teens Ads have also been seen on Facebook
Bill 1541 was voted on this past week The bill would make e-cigarettes the same as regular cigarettes in terms of the law At the hearing Georgia and Jaimen displayed and explained the operation and function of an e-cigarette Several other students from various schools also testified building quite a case The hearing went well and the bill is expected to pass mdashJaimen Perez Class of 2011

the colleges a financial aid counselor can change a studentrsquos financial aid award
based on unusual circumstances Professional judgment policies may differ from
school to school however So if your financial situation has changed dramatically
since filing the FAFSA contact the appropriate financial aid office Sudden unem-
ployment of a parent unusual medical expenses etc can lead to increased aid
Keep in mind that adjustments to aid awards are not usually based on negotia-
tions but on actual financial changes Yet even without a significant change if the
initial aid offered prohibits a student from attending a first-choice college contact
