After the Stafford Technical Center Forestry and Natural
Resources Program offered the Stafford SADD Chapter a cord of wood,
the SADD Chapter raised $250 through a raffle for the wood, and the
money was donated to the Child First Advocacy Center of Rutland.
The mission of the Child First Advocacy Center is to provide a safe
and supportive environment to assist victims and their families in
the discovery, intervention, treatment and prevention of child
sexual abuse. The funds will be used to provide toys, snacks, and
other items to make the center more of a comforting place for young
victims. The SADD members decided to raise money for the center
after visiting the center last year, and hearing from the Center's
Executive Director Wendy Loomis.
The Forestry students will be cutting, splitting, delivering,
and stacking the cord of wood at the home of Stafford Technical
Center's Outreach Counselor, Peg Bolgioni. The Forestry students,
who are under the direction of Instructor Mark Raishart, are Otter
Valley Union High School students David Fernandes, Nick Coolidge,
James Greeno, Nathan Brown, Tyler Laughlin, and Phil Taylor, Mill
River Union High School student Nate Corey, Rutland High School
students Hannah Poljacik, Abigail Lancour, Jonothon Smith and
Jordan Palmer, West Rutland High School student Tyler Bathalon,
Poultney High School student Nathan Decker, and Fair Haven
Union High School student Justin Campanelli.
The Stafford SADD Chapter's Project Director was Mill River
Union High School student Trisha Bush; she was assisted by Logan
Clark from Rutland High School. Other
SADD members who were involved were: Poultney High School
students Alison DeRoy, Tyler Manning, John Blanchard, and Brenda
Corbett, Otter Valley Union High School students Zach Field, Brandi
Heath, Cassy Sourdiff, and Porsche Lowell, Rutland High School
students Amber Fischer, Justin Franklin, Vincent Venturella, and
Bryan Raiche, Fair Haven Union High School student Joel Galvin, and
Mill River Union High School students Roger Brown, Aleea
Dauphinais, Chelsea Fitzgerald, and Dustin Stone. The
students made a presentation of the check, a jumbo version of which
was made by Digital Arts student Robin Williams, to Wendy
Loomis.
