ANOTHER SUCCESSFUL HCS STICKER SHOCK AT LANTMAN'SIn an effort to inform adults about supplying minors with alcohol, five 6th grade members of the HCS CY LEAD (Connecting Youth Leadership Education the Anti-Drug) group conducted a Sticker Shock campaign at Lantman's in Hinesburg Thursday morning. Hinesburg Police Chief Frank Koss joined us in this endeavor. Sticker Shock is a county wide Campaign co-sponsored by START (Stop Teen Alcohol Risk Team) and the Chittenden Prevention Network.
Sticker Shock is meant to reduce underage drinking by limiting youth access to alcohol. The goal is to educate people 21 and over about the legal and financial consequences of providing alcohol to minors. The team placed stickers and window clings on alcoholic beverages at Lantman's. The stickers and clings share a warning message about the penalties for providing alcohol to anyone under 21. When you go to Lantman's look for the red window clings on the beer cooler doors! As the sticker indicates, consequences include up to a $2,000 fine and/or up to 2 years in prison if convicted of furnishing alcohol to minors. The students loved having the opportunity to make a difference in their community and were wonderful ambassadors of HCS. Thank you to Hinesburg Police, Lantman's, and Hinesburg Community School for a successful collaboration in helping keep our youth safe! We appreciate your support!

HCS 7TH GRADERS ATTENDED THE VERMONT ASSOCIATION OF MIDDLE LEVEL EDUCATION (VALME) BEYOND BULLYING CONFERENCE AT CHAMPLAIN COLLEGE ON MARCH 16, 2018On Friday, March 16, 2018 four HCS 7th graders attended the VALME Beyond Bullying Conference at Champlain College. Students heard from keynote speaker Colin Ryan, a Burlington resident who tours nationally sharing his comedy and messages of kindness. Ryan asked compelling questions of the Vermont middle school students including: "What is it like to be you? What would it look like if you had unlimited courage?" He also asked students to think about inclusion and offered "Courage is standing beside the person that is standing alone."
Thomas Garvelli, HCS 7th grader, said "It was a good reminder that everybody is in it together. We need to stick up for eachother sometimes." Students participated in smaller workshops as well. HCS students explored topics including "Team Building in Athletics" "Conversations About Race" "Exploring Identities" "Theater Games" and "Beyond the Sticker". In the Exploring Identities workshop students learned about various perspectives while reading a short story about an immigrant family. The Diversity Wheel was shared with this group. There are a variety of Diversity Wheels but the instructor shared that this was the most middle school user friendly one - as you can see in the photo on the right. Graycie Elkins said of the day at Champlain "It was something you can take a lot away from." Maddie Kittell agreed saying "It was fun and educational and boosts your confidence and awareness." These students were terrific ambassadors of HCS and did a great job jumping in and partipating in the conference! three cvsd students participated in above the influence retreat
