Interesting TO KNOW
Research is showing that dyslexia is genetically based and passed from parents to children. Between twenty-three and sixty-five percent of children with dyslexia have a parent who is dyslexic. It is not uncommon for dyslexia to affect several people in the same family, and most dyslexics will generally have someone else in their extended family who also struggles with dyslexia. The familial nature of dyslexia has been recognized since the beginning of the last century.
The earlier children can be professionally diagnosed, the sooner they can seek specialized instruction that will empower them to become successful learners.
Some of Jemicy Upper School’s industrial design students are building a light aircraft with experienced light craft builders at a local sky park. Along with teachers August DiMucci and Sean Lally, a few alums have joined in, too: alum and current Jemicy trustee Nate Tower ’80; alum Steve Dziuba ’84; and alum Sam Gensler ’14, who is now teaching at the US.
Mark Westervelt, assistant head of school and director of alumni relations, is ON THE ROAD in the pop-top camper he bought and outfitted for a road trip throughout New England. He plans to catch up (in socially distanced style) with Jemicy alums, share the latest news on what's happening at Jemicy, and find out what alums and past teachers have been and are doing. His camper will announce Jemicy School and Dyslexics Achieve everywhere he goes.
