Climate Change and Glaciers - My Work in the Earth Sciences
Erich studies how climate change affects hurricanes and nor'easters in New England, and how warming in the polar regions is melting glaciers and raising the sea level. His research takes him to the tallest mountains of Alaska, the center of the Greenland ice sheet, and the South Pole to collect ice cores that record the history of climate change going back thousands of years. He'll describe the evidence his team has found for the speed and impact of climate change around the world. He'll also discuss how he went from a kid who just loved the weather, to a researcher trying to understand how climate change will impact his kids' future.
Winter Sports Registration - NOW OPEN
Registration is now open for all winter sports. All students that plan to participate in a winter sport must register online with FamilyID.

Help us keep up our sponsorship of Partners in Health (see mission below) and sponsor a child in need. Many Common Grounds work together to sponsor a child and this year we are reaching out to our community to do even more good! Please encourage your student to sign up their Common Ground.If your child's common ground chooses not to sponsor a child and you would like to contribute, we welcome monetary donations as well as gift cards.
Contact Katie (katie.lowery@hanovernorwichschools.org) or Stacey (stacey.smith@hanovernorwichschools.org) if your family is able to sponsor a child. We can provide the child's age, gender, needs and interests. Thank you for considering! Spread the good word!
Partners in Health is a community-based, family centered program that works to meet the needs of families who have children with chronic health conditions. Partners in Health (PiH) will assist families in getting the care and services that the families feel are important. We are in collaboration with schools, medical providers, social services and other community agencies to help enhance the quality of life for these families. We service families with children from birth until age 21 who have a chronic health condition expected to last 12 months or longer, and has a significant impact on daily life. Possible health conditions include, but are not limited to: asthma, cancer, cystic fibrosis, diabetes, epilepsy, and heart conditions.
