Panarama survey process: Students will take the survey online on Panorama
Education’s secure website. Each student will need access to an internet-
connected device to take the survey. Students will use their 6 digit student LASID
number (that is on their student ID) as their access code. The surveys are available
online in English, Spanish and Portuguese. Last year the majority of students
opted to take the survey on their phone. However, we will have chromebooks
available for students who prefer to complete the survey on a school device.

Framingham State University, McCarthy Center Forum 7:00pm Space Hero or
Nazi Villain? The life of Wernher von Braun
Few figures in the history of technology provoke a reaction as quickly as Wernher
von Braun. The rocket scientist was a card-carrying Nazi who built the world's first
ballistic missile with slave labor from concentration camps. As the war wound
down, he surrendered to the Americans who took his rocket-building team and
his talents to the United States, along with hundreds of Nazi scientists, engineers
and technicians under the auspices of “Operation Paperclip”. In the United States
he first designed weapons and eventually was in charge to develop the epic
Saturn V rocket that sent six sets of Apollo astronauts to the moon. In between,
he managed, through charm, wit and undeniable genius, to become a charismatic
spokesman for space travel in America.
The speaker is Dr. Michael Neufeld, from the Smithsonian's National Air and
Space Museum. Neufeld’s careful research provides a view of von Braun as a man
like Goethe's Faust, who "uses his infernal powers to build great engineering
works for what he believes to be the betterment of mankind." Faust mistreats his
workers and inadvertently kills people in his way, but he feels no guilt, because
"he cannot accept personal responsibility."
The event is free and open to the public but registration is required.

FACULTY AND STAFF ANNOUNCEMENTS
FHS Staff Book Club - Upcoming Book Discussions
3/27 @ 2:30 pm in the Closed Classroom - Outliers by Malcolm Gladwell
4/24 @ 2:30 pm in the Closed Classroom - Being Mortal by Atul Gawande
Several members of our book club are considering enrolling in a Reflective Reading course offered for grad credits online by Dominican University out of California: Dominican University Reflective Reading Course. So, we decided to choose our books for the next 3 months from the course’s book list; all of these books are ones that had been on our “to-read” list anyway, so we’re killing 2 birds with one stone. Our book discussions will not be related to the course, so you’re welcome to come discuss these books with us whether you’re planning to take this course or not.

Flu Advisory - 2019
Rates of flu-like illness rose in Massachusetts in the past seven days, according to
the latest weekly Massachusetts Department of Public Health flu report.
Flu viruses are thought to spread mainly from person to person through coughs
and sneezes of infected people. Less often, a person also might get the flu by
touching a surface or object that has flu virus on it and then touching their own
mouth, eyes, or nose. People of all ages get sick with flu. School-aged children are
a group with a high rate of flu illness.
Flu-like symptoms include fever, cough, sore throat, runny or stuffy nose, body
aches, headache, chills and fatigue. Some people, especially children, may have
vomiting and diarrhea. People may also be infected with flu and have respiratory
symptoms without a fever.
The good news is that it is not too late to protect yourself and your family from
the flu by getting a flu shot. There is still plenty of flu vaccine available in
communities across Massachusetts. Call your health care provider to schedule a
visit for a flu shot, visit a local pharmacy, or search for flu vaccination locations at
https://vaccinefinder.org/.
Here are several recommendations to protect your children and family members
from the flu:
Take time to get a flu vaccine.
Have a great week!
