Ahmadi Named US Senate Youth Program Delegate
Congratulations to Essex High School senior Maddie Ahmadi, who was one of only two Vermont students named a state delegate as part of the 2023 United States Senate Youth Program (USSYP).
Annually, two students from each state are selected for a $10,000 scholarship and an all-expenses-paid week-long trip to Washington D.C. While at the capitol, students learn about the inner workings of the federal government and they meet with members of Congress, the Supreme Court, and the Presidential Administration.
The Vermont Principals’ Association, the United States Senate Youth Program, and the USSYP Committee all encourage Vermont students who will be in their junior or senior years, and hold an elected or appointed school or community position, to apply for this distinguished scholarship and opportunity next year. Completed applications for next year are due by October 23, 2023. For more information please visit vpaonline.org.

Computer Science Week-Hour of Code
Between Dec. 5-11, students around the world will celebrate Computer Science Education Week by doing an Hour of Code at their school. It’s an opportunity for every child to learn how the technology around us works. The Hour of Code is a one-hour introduction to computer science, designed to demystify code and show that anybody can learn the basics.
Renee Langevin will be holding an Hour of Code Flex in the library on Dec. 6, 8, & 9. Students who complete a Code.org activity can enter their completion certificate into a drawing. Students must have their certificates to enter.
