The Middle School Garden 2017
Seedfolks
Gardening season is here and the 7th grade class has been working hard this spring to prepare and expand Twinfield's garden.
Students visited Maplehill School Farm in May and planted tomatoes in the greenhouse with Vivian Stein, farm educator. The 7th grade class hosted the 1st Twinfield Community Garden Work Party. It was a huge success. We transplanted raspberries, prepared the garden beds and feasted together on local beef and greens. We hope to have a healthy crop of tomatoes, squash, onions and potatoes in the fall that we can eat, cook and share with our community.

8th Grade Model Government
On December 19th the 8th grade class formed a national governmet at the Vermont State House. The day began in party caucas meetings, reviewing bills that had been written by congressional committees earlier in the week. We then moved to the House of Representatives to hear the Staet of the Union address from President Given. Debate and discussion began in both chambers on a series of bills dealing with illegal immigration of minors, gun control and climate change. The House bill on gun control bill, sponser by committee chair Delaney Fowler, passed both houses and made its way to President Given, who signed the bill into law.

7th Grade Hike Challenge
On September 28, the 7th grade class met the challenge of hiking the highest mountain in Vermont. Students persevered to meet their individual goals and demonstrated their incredible capacity to support each other through out the hike. Although it was a beautiful, sunny autumn day low down, above 3000 feet a heavy cloud enshrouded the summit. We made the difficult decision to not summit, but rather enjoyed our time together and had a safe, dry descent.
8th Grade Pick for Your Neighbor
The 8th grade class picked over 100 pounds of apples at Burtt's Orchard, to contribute to the Pick for your Neighbor initiative of the Vermont Foodbank.
