Hopefully it will be a little warmer than this weekend!

We had another great concert this week with our 7th and 8th grade students.  Congratulations to all of our musicians, and thank you to Victoria Rosales, Bailey Brown, and Ella Davis for all of your hard work and dedication to our music program.

Enjoy your weekend and stay warm!

ROSIE'S GIRLS TECH CAMP

BURLINGTON, VT | FEBRUARY 23 - 27, 2026

Vermont Works for Women (VWW) is excited to offer a special Rosie’s Girls® TECH camp with a variety of local businesses this coming February in Burlington. 

With winter school breaks upon us, now is the perfect time to register for Rosie’s Girls TECH and join us for a full week of STEM empowerment and career exploration!

Rosie’s Girls TECH campers will spend a portion of each day learning from local STEM professionals. Through daily hands-on activities, campers will learn about different jobs, meet role models, and begin making connections between their own interests and passions and the opportunities ahead.

Campers will engage in a variety of hands-on activities led by staff from local STEM organizations including: OVR Technology, UVM EPSCoR, VIP, UVM Society of Women Engineers, OnLogic, GlobalFoundries, Northern Digital Inc., Greentime.ai, Marvell Technology, and others!

Each day, we’ll pair fun, hands-on projects with Rosie’s Girls signature “Power Skills” curriculum. Power Skills activities and conversations are designed to expand campers’ self-confidence, sense of possibility, and connection with one another all while exploring topics important and relevant to middle school youth.
