Dear Families,
As the weather has gotten nicer, we are seeing many more students walking down to the park in Richmond after school. It’s great that our community has such a nice place to gather, and we’re so glad that students have an opportunity to socialize in a way that feels normal. We have been hearing, though, about some activities that students have been engaging in while there that have caused some concern - doing backflips off the bridge, taking clothes off under the bridge, vaping and smoking marijuana. These are things we’re hearing from a wide variety of sources, and we feel it’s important that you are aware. We encourage you to take some time to talk with your students about using the park safely and appropriately so that it can be a place for all to enjoy.

Team Legacy Update
Team Legacy Update
Team Legacy completed Phase 2 of the Bird-friendly Pollinator Garden. They planted 100 additional perennials and added a layer of bark mulch. Right now they are putting amidst Phase 3 and putting on the finishing touches in the garden to add structures: butterfly houses, bat houses, bird feeders and houses, bee bungalow trellis, and arbor, and Leopold benches. The 8th graders of Team Legacy are definitely leaving their mark at CHMS.
A special thanks to Isaiah Ritchie and Ben Rankin who both built Leopold benches for the garden. Named after wildlife conservationist, Aldo Leopold, the bench is designed to allow either a backrest, or, when turned around, a sturdy support for the elbows while using binoculars or a camera to observe nature.

Vermont Works for Women is excited to offer Rosie's Girls Summer Camp this year in six communities across the state!
Rosie's Girls is open to girls and gender non-conforming youth who will be entering 6th, 7th or 8th grade in the 2021-2022 school year. Sign up for camp TODAY!
Rosie’s Girls® is a career exploration program that introduces participants to a variety of jobs, skills and passions that are nontraditional for women through a combination of hands-on projects and a safe, supportive and fun environment. In addition to projects and technical learning, Rosie's Girls includes a social and emotional curriculum called "Power Skills" that creates a space for participants to understand, discuss, and build skills to navigate the life and societal issues they face. Camp also incorporates art, team building, and other fun and games.
Rosie’s Girls staff is highly trained in creating a space that is both physically and emotionally safe and empowering for all, and which encourages participants to lift each other up while trying new things and taking risks.
To maintain the health and safety of campers and staff, we have made some modifications to the traditional Rosie's Girls model for this year. Each camp will meet in person for one week of half-day programming and follow state Covid-19 safety guidelines. All campers will receive an individual kit full of projects to complete together at camp, in addition to empowering activities and games. Projects will focus on a variety of STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Math) concepts using materials comprised of wood, metal, and natural resources.
Registration is now open for Rosie’s Girls camps in Barre, Essex, and Winooski. Please note that VWW is not accepting payment for camp at this time as we await news of funding that could allow us to provide camp at no cost to all participants. The cost of camp will not be more than $165/week, and regardless of this additional funding, scholarships will be available.
You can still sign up for camp TODAY! We will notify families of the final cost of camp by June 1. If you have questions about this process, please contact VWW's Youth Program Manager Caelan Keenan at ckeenan@vtworksforwomen.org.
Essex: July 26 – 30, 8:30am – 12:00pm
Winooski: August 2 – 6, 12:00pm – 4:00pm
Barre: August 9 – 13, 8:30am – 12:00pm

Barnet: Dates/Times TBD
