Green Day
Do you live in St. Johnsbury? Are you 18? Do plan to vote on Tuesday? Voting is the most basic and powerful form of civic engagement we can practice. It is how we make our voices heard, hold our elected representatives accountable, and help shape the future of our communities and our country. The Academy is here to help. On Tuesday, we will be providing a free ride to the polls. If you live in St. J and are 18, you can even register to vote on Election Day, be sure to sign out in the Main Office and head to Brantview Drive where an Academy van will bring you to the Welcome Center so you can vote. Teachers too can take advantage of this.
Calling all advisories…. please write letters of support or create holiday cards or ornaments to include in care packages for VT soldiers deployed over the holidays. All donations are due by 12/1 to Mrs. Holcombe in Streeter 251.
