Cleanup was a success

Dear Editor,

Thank you to Casella Waste Management as well as to Southwestern VT Sales Coordinator Lisa Hotchkiss for her amazing customer service and communication that was outstanding through every facet of our third annual Community Clean Up  in the towns of Danby and Mount Tabor. Its donation has significantly impacted these communities as a whole and demonstrated valuable lessons to our students in teamwork, communication, and responsible stewardship for making our environment cleaner.

Making a positive impact in the lives of our students is an important part of our mission here at Currier Memorial School and at the Bennington-Rutland Supervisory Union; your efforts deserve a great deal of recognition for the difference you made through one act of kindness.

Thank you,
Billy Canfield, Home-School Coordinator Bennington-Rutland Supervisory Union

Overcomplicated or simple, the message must still deliver

January 15, 2025
Dear Editor, Since the November election, many Vermont Democrats have been reflecting on the results and lessons learned. To some, a significant problem was messaging. A funny thing about Democrats is that we often can’t stop explaining everything. “If only we could explain [insert idea/program/policy here] in a way that people could really understand, they…
