Team USA has once again been honored. Recently our 7th and 8th grade teams took 1st place in the US a Army's e-cybermission contest for the entire State of Vt. Yesterday, Team USA was notified that it has been honored with being one of twelve schools in the state (All others being High Schools) to be awarded a spot in the Efficiency Vermont's Whole School Energy Challenge for 2012-2013.Current 7th grader Andi will chair the committee. We are excited to be able to participate in a program aimed at actually reducing our school's energy consumption. Besides Team USA members,we will work with Mr. Boomhover and Ms. Cavallo, Ms. Esenler, and Mayor Gamache on the year long project. Anyone interested in being a part, please notify us. You do not have to be a member of Team USA. Sixth graders Camille and Gabbi have already signed on!
Just prior to vacation, Team USA hosted a group of BFA students,who worked closely with Ms. B. to run a "Diversity Day" for the team. It was fun and very educational. Team USA thanks BFA team USA member Brooke for setting this up.
Team USA will be hosting a team of teachers and administrators from Brown's River School who will spend a day observing Team USA's methodologies in response to the article on Team USA in the national Middle School Magazine.
Our mentoring and our K lunch program are going very well and relationships made will hopefully continue for years to come.
Team USA also is very proud to have been recognized in the Raider Spirit contest!
