In September 2011, CVU kicked off its Whole School Energy Challenge to reduce the school’s energy consumption by 10%. Led by members of the Environmental Action Club (EnACT), the Challenge kicked off with help from our partners Efficiency Vermont, Vermont Energy Education Program, and the School Energy Management Program. Eight months into the challenge, the school’s energy reduction is hovering around the 10% goal and the total energy reduced is 101,280 kilowatt hours (kWh). According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, that is enough energy to power a “typical Vermont home” for more than 173 months (which is more than 14 years!). The energy saved so far is also the equivalent of the school having approximately 18 4 KW-PV trackers working all year to generate energy. We’ve also avoided more than $10,000 in electricity costs. Last February/March, a group of 18 Spanish students and two teachers spent 12 days in a small town in the central mountains of the Dominican Republic. They lived on a coffee plantation, worked on literacy in the local elementary school and helped paint and clean up a middle school patio. The trip included workshops on local ceramics, dancing, knitting and cooking. Students became part of the community, sharing afternoon coffee with families, hiking, dancing and playing volleyball with local residents. In addition to working on their Spanish, students learned about growing, harvesting and processing coffee. Members of the CVU Varsity soccer teams volunteered to help coach the Shelburne Kindergarten Soccer Program on Sundays during the past fall season. CVU players have been a HUGE hit with the 50 kindergarteners and the parents have all been incredibly impressed with our student athletes. This is 100% voluntary and we have been averaging about 25 coaches showing up per week. Congratulations to Chris Jordan and Robyn Leary, who were accepted to the All-Eastern orchestra and band (respectively). They will be among the 16 students to represent Vermont (9 chorus, 3 orchestra, 4 band) at the Eastern Division Music Educator's Conference in Hartford, CT in April. This opportunity is only offered every other year, and is open to juniors and seniors. CVU's Design TASC Engineering students represented CVU at the annual UVM Engineering Design TASC Competition in December. There were 4 challenges (5 performance categories) and a Marketing Presentation award. Team Project Redhawks won the Over-All best team as well as 1st place in the Challenge #4 and Marketing Presentation, and 2nd place in Challenge #1 & #3b. Team Redhawk Engineering won 1st place in Challenge #2, #3a, & #3b and 3rd place in the Marketing Presentation. Project Redhawks team: Chase Weaver (team manager), Nick Boutin, Cam Harris, Joe Kolk, and Ben Langdon. Redhawk Engineering team: Austin Busch (team manager), Wes McEntee, Russell Fox, Will Colomb, and Zuhair Chaudhry. On October 24th, CVU’s Environmental Action Club (EnACT) sponsored Trash on the Lawn Day (TOLD), an annual event devoted to sorting trash, compost, and recycling in an effort to educate students about responsible waste habits. This past November, 40 CVU students attended the Princeton Model Congress in Washington DC. Almost 1,000 students from schools from all over the nation participated in this rigorous legislative simulation. This year our delegation continued CVU's proud tradition of excellence with 3 students being recognized with awards: Lucas Hilker, House Armed Services Committee: Gavel, Alden Fletcher, Cabinet Secretary of Transportation: Honorable Mention, and Will Keve, Senate Appropriations Committee: Honorable Mention. The Redhawks Café Annual Cafe for a Cause raised $5,956 which was donated to the Vermont Food Bank. Eleanor Marsh and her students joined forces with 12 other Vermont schools to raise over $3,000 for the Vermont Food Bank through the Vermont Association of Family & Consumer Science's Building Community Project. With the leveraging power that the Food Bank has, over $18,000 worth of food was provided to Vermonters in need through the community service work of FACS students. During this holiday season, the CVU Class of 2013 collected 400 toys, $275 in gift cards, and $1,100 in cash donations to be used to purchase gift cards for teens or additional toys. This is the fourth year the CVU community came together to contribute to this effort. Lucas Hilker, Conor McQuiston, Chris Petrillo, and Caroline Jones participated in the annual Rotary Public Speaking Contest sponsored by the Charlotte/Shelburne Rotary club. Each student wrote and presented a five-minute speech on the theme, "Peace Through Service." They did an amazing job, and the winner was Caroline Jones. Eleanor Marsh's Child Psychology classes do a community project each year and this year they made hand-sewn fleece hats, headbands and mittens that were donated to Hinesburg Community School. Clothing Construction student Catherine Spitzer helped with the organization and the rest of the Clothing Construction students helped finish up the sewing. Three students placed in the area senior art show. Chloe White placed first, Mariah Hill second, and Asa Mease received an honorable mention. Senior All American Cheerleader, Sarah Gerry, representing CVU and the State of Vermont, was one of more than 500 high school cheerleaders and dancers from across the U.S. who performed in the world famous London New Year’s Day Parade. Sugarbush Resort has very generously offered season passes to 141 CVU students who qualify for the Sugarbush Student Achievement Program. Among other requirements, students currently in grades 10 through 12 who achieve academic excellence – defined as straight A’s three marking periods in the last academic year, are eligible for this program. 34
