The Hannaford Career Center Open House and Vermont's first ever Career and Technical Center Maker Faire brought together individuals of all ages interested in creating, making, and applied learning. Visitors explored the Career Center while also observing demonstrations and engaging in conversations with a wide variety of makers. For this inaugural event, we had 30 maker groups represented. The Career Center Culinary Arts program provided hors d’oeuvres and tasty desserts, for presenters and visitors alike, served by members of the Addison Repertory Theater on custom serving platters designed and made by A.R.T. The energy level was high, and participants were enthusiastically engaged as they made personal connections, explored interests and new learning opportunities, and exchanged stories, contact information and the pure joy of sharing their passions with others. The enthusiasm surrounding this first-time combination event sparked interest in our secondary programming, our adult and continuing education offerings, college opportunities, and community connections to advance the maker spirit through access to Career Center facilities and equipment. As the educational leader of the Hannaford Career and Technical Center, I could not be prouder of the spirit of community exhibited by our students, staff, faculty, and volunteers who dedicated scores of hours preparing to bring this event to life and foster a spirit of collaboration and cooperation for advancing creativity and technical skill development. Many thanks to all who helped make this event a memorable one. -Dana Peterson, Interim Superintendent

Design and Illustration student Lillian Clark designed the poster for Vermont teachers who achieved National Board Certification. A reception was held in Barre to honor all of this year's NBC teachers on February 15th, where Lillian was recognized for her poster design (below). Also in attendance were Vermont-NEA President Martha Allen, Lieutenant Governor David Zuckerman, 2017 Teacher of the Year Kate McCann, Secretary of Education, Rebecca Holcombe, and National Board President Peggy Brookins. Posters will be disseminated statewide through the Vermont-NEA. Congratulations, Lillian!
hcc response to local & national events In response to the school shootings this year, most recently in Parkland, Fla., many groups are organizing walkout days this Spring. The Career Center faculty is collaborating to plan for how to best serve student needs during this challenging time. We are also conscious of the need for student voices to be heard, especially in matters of safety, and how such concerns can interfere with their learning. Career Center faculty and staff will support each student in an appropriate way to express their concerns, show compassion for their peers across the country, engage in civil discourse around the pressing issues of the day, and continue learning in a safe environment.
