C-114 – Gengras Center

C-114: Mr. Girard

Distance Learning:
Letter from Mrs. Ford

During our distant learning time, C114 students will receive lessons, activities, and “to-do” lists each weekday morning via email. These lessons are designed to replicate our weekly “in-school” work as closely as possible, while also fitting in with the established routines of home. IEP goals and objectives remain the foundation upon which our program is built. Students can look forward to old academic classics like Quick Finds and Mr. Cash letters and checks (snail- mailed directly home each week). Students should also anticipate a new thing or two, like daily editions of a classroom newspaper (beginning 4/6) to help us all keep up with C114 and Gengras family members.

It may take a week or two to establish a consistent routine. For now please find each day’s assignment in your morning email. Once we get rolling, we will have a system that allows us to make the best of this challenging situation. As is the case when school is in session, please be in touch if we can be of assistance with anything. The teachers of C114 wish to thank our amazingly supportive parents: you and your daughters and sons are magnificent!

This year’s C114 Family is made up of nine uniquely charismatic students and seven caring teachers. Together we will achieve the common goals of personal and communal growth and wellness. With a primary focus on post-secondary readiness, our day-to-day activities will include a range of academic life skills, nutrition, health and fitness, budgeting, shopping, cooking, cleaning, working, earning, saving, and helping others. Our many successes will be documented through C114 Consolidated, the classroom corporation presided over by Mr. John E. Cash.

An educationally-oriented philanthropist, Mr. Cash has teamed with C114 for the last two school years. His goal is to show these students (and those they encounter) how truly talented they are. He accomplishes his goal through weekly data sheets, letters, and stipends, all of which reflect real-world operandi and highlight weekly accomplishments. And while Mr. Cash insists on hard work, he also believes life should be a good balance of hard, meaningful work AND fun. Consequently, as we accomplish our quotidian tasks, plan larger events such as the Ice Bowl and marathon, and serve the community, we will be sure to laugh, play and celebrate along the way. We invite you to keep a close eye on C114, as we aim to rock the 2019-2020 Gengras school year.
