Working Alongside Staff: A Volunteer’s Experience

August 12, 2019

Nutritious meals are provided in the Dining Hall on each campus at no cost to Green Chimneys students. Menus change seasonally.

All students eat lunch with their classmates and teachers. Residential students eat breakfast and dinner with fellow dorm mates and staff.

Low-fat milk is served with the meal and ice water is available at all tables. Nutritious, low-calorie snack choices, including fruit, are offered to students at a time scheduled by the classroom teacher. Water is available throughout the school day and at recess.

For questions about menu offerings or revised dietary needs, please contact your child’s social worker.

Barred Owl

This barred owl fell from his nest and ended up on the ground in New Paltz, NY where he was rescued and cared for but it was quickly apparent that he was severely disfigured. He had a twisted, crooked beak, his wing feathers weren’t fully developed and one eye was shut while the other did not look as it should. This was not a bird that could be released back into the wild. Green Chimneys wildlife specialists worked with a local veterinary hospital to improve the bird’s health and determined that the owl was totally blind in one eye and 80-90% blind in the other.
