L&G Players will be doing their annual Hats Off performances June 4th and 5th at 7 pm, and June 6th at 2:00 pm. Anyone is welcome to join, and we will be having an informational meeting about Hats Off on Friday, May 1st, during middle school lunch/high school flex in Dutton gym.

This past year, the Stratton Foundation’s Head-to-Toe program provided school supplies, dental kits, winter coats, snow pants, mittens, hats, boots, socks, and sneakers to hundreds of children across southern Vermont. We are proud of this work and deeply grateful for the school liaisons, our volunteers and community partners who help make it possible.

If a child in your family or members of your school community participated in all or part of the program, we would greatly value your feedback.

Please take a few minutes to complete the survey below.

[All respondents will be entered into a drawing: one (1) winner will receive a $100 Price Chopper grocery card, and one (1) winner will receive a $100 gas card.]

All responses will be kept confidential. We may share general results or anonymous quotes, but your name will never be published. Your feedback is essential in helping us evaluate and strengthen the program, as well as support future fundraising efforts.

We are here to help, please don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions or comments.

Thank you,

Katie

The Leland & Gray Positive Action Team (PAT) travelled to the state house this past Thursday to participate in Prevention Day, an event that highlights youth-led prevention efforts happening across Vermont. The PAT presented about the work they have been doing to support the L&G community, which includes funding and installation of hygiene stations in student bathrooms, designing and selling their own Positive Project swag (clothing items with positive messaging that raise funds for their projects), teacher appreciations, and plans for a Fun Run in May. The PAT also toured the statehouse, spoke to legislators, and were introduced to the House and Senate while in session. Learn more about the L&G PAT and Prevention Day!
