THE WEEK IN REVIEW
Trip to Castleton
This past Wednesday, Ms. Braggins and Ms. Legere took a great group of students on a trek to Castleton University. Despite some bus trouble, everyone made it there in one piece! They ate a great lunch in the college dining hall, met up with some old friends from Lamoille, took a tour of Castleton's campus, and learned all about what it takes to become a Castleton Spartan.
Did you know: Castleton students create their own mini snow park on campus in the winter, and they make their own skating rink under the largest outdoor pavilion in Vermont!

#LUnice FEAT. OF THE WEEK
Feeling stressed and in need of some encouragement?
Feeling great and want to spread the love?
Stop by and Take What You Need.
Designed by the always caring and creative library staff, the Take What You Need board is available for anyone looking for that little extra something to get them through the day. Stop by right outside the library doors and take a sticky designed for what you need. If you're feeling particularly inventive and generous, offer to create some more stickies for other people!
Help spread #LUnice.

What is a Gap Year? A Gap Year is the year some students choose to take off between graduating High School and going to College! It is a great opportunity to travel the world and enjoy incredible experiences.
USA Gap Year Fairs is a national circuit of events that bring together reputable Gap Year organizations, interested students and parents, high school college counselors and Gap Year experts.
