Somer can't be replaced...or can he??? Thankfully he started an internship program to train future Athletic Trainers! Logan, you're up!

Chittenden Humanities students were introduced to Harkness teamwork concepts through puzzles! We (and the student observers) were very impressed with the soft skills and collaboration the groups exemplified!

Help your Neighbors with Food Insecurity

This summer Vermont households with school aged children received an EBT card from the Vermont Department of Children and Families. If you do not plan to use your EBT card, please do not throw it out. If you go online and register the card, you can use it to buy groceries for your local food shelf. All food shelves in our community have seen an increase in the number of participants accessing the food shelves. This article from the Burlington Free Press explains more details about the EBT cards sent out in July.
