The Bad Weather Robotics Team hosted a STEM Night to spark curiosity and inspire the next generation of robotics engineers while also raising funds to help the current robotics team compete in this year’s competition. The night was filled with creativity and excitement, and it was a great success. We’d like to thank the Stowe Community for supporting our future engineers and our current team. Thank you!

Are you interested in joining the Bad Weather Team this year? If yes, please contact Tess Levine or Oscar Violette for more information.

On Saturday, the Stowe High School Debate team made their debut at a tournament in Hanover NH. The creation of a Debate program at SHS, has long been in the works and I am thrilled to see the passion and enthusiasm displayed by our students. A huge thank you to Mrs. Morris who has taken on the role of advisor for the team. If you are unfamiliar with the benefits of high school debate participation:

• Confidence – Belief in themselves and their abilities, and the desire to participate in all classes.
• Curiosity – The passion of discovery through effective tools for research, organization and presentation.
• Critical Thinking – How to explore the world through the lens of an inquisitive mind
• Communication – Oral & written skills and strategies for lively yet respectful discussions & disagreements.
• Control – Eliminate the fears of public speaking.
• Creativity – The desire to explore, create and invent.
• Camaraderie – Meet like-minded peers at tournaments and build healthy bonds of competition.
• Leadership – Self-motivation and the ability to delegate assignments and manage peers.

Dear Parents and Families,

I am reaching out to all of you to see if there are any adults who would be interested in being a Friday Program community chaperone at the high school level. We could really use the support and are looking for any parents who are able to free up five afternoons this winter to ski with our students.

The perks are...

• Skiing midday on a Friday!
• For every two times you volunteer you can get a voucher for a ski pass to be used at the mountain. Unfortunately this does not apply to people with an epic pass.
• It is really fun to ski and interact with youth members in our community!

If you are interested or have any questions please reach out to Patrick Kantlehner (Mr. K) and he can describe the scope of the work in more detail.

Yearbooks are now $70 and you can ORDER here

Senior Families: We have reserved yearbooks for each graduate and they will be paid for with the class money ORDER YOUR 2027 STOWE HS SENIOR PARENT AD

Email yearbookshs@lamoillesouth.org with questions or any fun photos of your students.

Students are expected to ride the bus they are assigned to each day, with the exception of sporting events. If your child plans to ride a different bus, parent permission is required. An email or note to Amanda at the front desk will allow us to give your student a bus pass for that day. Amanda’s email is amanda.hatfield@lamoillesouth.org or (802) 253-7229.

All bus riders are expected to remain seated, quiet and display respectful behavior toward peers and the driver.
