HCS BAND CONCERT
Students did a wonderful job at the Spring Band Concert last Thursday evening. We would also like to thank Mr. Smith for all of the work he has done with students as he prepares for retirement at the end of the school year. Mr. Smith has served our district for nearly 30 years teaching music, primarily at CCS, and his impact on students and families has been tremendous. We will miss him at HCS and wish him all the best in retirement!

HCS RUNNERS BRAVE RAIN & CRUSH GOALS AT THE VERMONT CITY MARATHON
Members of the Hinesburg Community School XC and Track & Field Teams turned Memorial Day weekend into a showcase of grit, teamwork, and impressive racing at the Vermont City Marathon.
While runners were greeted with cool temperatures ideal for racing, the day also began with pouring rain that tested everyone’s determination before the starting gun even fired. Despite the soggy conditions, HCS athletes powered through with outstanding performances across multiple events.
In the 3–5 person relay division, Eli Leckey, Gage Geeslin, Iris Tallman, and Sylvia Cluver teamed up to deliver a strong and spirited performance, representing HCS with determination and teamwork throughout the scenic course.
Teammates Teddy Cluver and Theo Tallman took on an even bigger challenge in the half-marathon relay division. Each runner completed 13.1 miles — one full loop of the marathon’s beautiful two-loop course — showing remarkable endurance and mental toughness.
The day’s headline performance belonged to Royal Ricklefs, who tackled the entire 26.2-mile marathon in his very first attempt. Ricklefs crossed the finish line in an extraordinary time of 2 hours, 50 minutes, smashing the coveted three-hour barrier — an achievement many runners spend years chasing.
To put that accomplishment into perspective, only about 4% of marathon runners ever complete a marathon in under three hours. Achieving that milestone in a debut marathon makes Royal’s performance even more remarkable.
From relay teamwork to marathon milestones, the HCS runners proved that determination, preparation, and perseverance can overcome even the rainiest of race-day conditions. It was an unforgettable weekend and an amazing effort by the entire group of HCS athletes.

4TH GRADE PHOTOGRAPHY SHOW
Be sure to check out HCS's very first 4th Grade Photography Show! The photography will be on display in the Carpenter-Carse Library Community Room from June 4th through June 30th.
This photography unit was developed and facilitated through a meaningful collaboration between myself and HCS math interventionist extraordinaire Noreen Collyer. She brought her expertise in both mathematics and photography into the art room, and it was inspiring to see how naturally these disciplines connected throughout the project. This experience has been a strong example of math and art working together in meaningful, creative ways.
The enthusiasm from students was incredible throughout the process. They approached photography with curiosity, attention to detail, and a genuine excitement for seeing the world through a different lens—both literally and conceptually. It has been a joy to witness their growth as artists and thinkers.
