Middle School Sports The goals of the athletic programs at Hartland Elementary School are to teach good sportsmanship and to develop physical skills. Competitive sports at H.E.S. encourage the acquisition of experience rather than competition. Therefore, the primary criterion for team membership is athlete enthusiasm and willingness to work on a team, not preexisting skill. Athletes are selected and allowed to play on teams on the basis of their attendance at practice and appropriate behavior and their evident willingness to learn.

The Committee on Aging in Hartland grew out of a Hartland Community Connections Saturday breakfast meeting at Damon Hall on June 5, 2010. We are Hartland residents who love this town and want to live here through the years ahead. We know that our aging will bring significant challenges. Our goals at this point are:

* To identify and build awareness of existing resources for seniors * To develop new resources to support successful aging here

Since the June 2010 meeting the committee has:  Created the following subgroups: Public Awareness/Outreach; Senior Housing; Funding; Health Care; Program; Transportation; and Volunteers  Held monthly meetings at which we discussed ideas and progress in each of the subgroups’ areas and considered ways to involve others  Arranged to use Damon Hall for office space, a speaker series, and social activities Applied for and received a grant from the Council on Aging for Southeastern Vermont to fund a mailing to everyone over 60 years old in Hartland.

14. Cheyenne is the capital of what state? Hartland Community Arts 18 P.O. Box 4, Hartland, VT 05048

Hartland Community Arts (HCA) is a nonprofit that has been working for almost twenty years to bring exciting art and cultural presentations to our community and to develop original shows featuring our many talented friends and neighbors. In the past year, for example, we have hosted local classical groups, including Classicopia and the Upper Valley Music Center, as well as international musicians, such as Septeto Tipico Tivoli from Cuba. We also hosted a local filmmaker who produced a moving documentary about children orphaned by the AIDS epidemic in Tanzania and New York, “Grandmother to Grandmother”. We have been equally proud to develop local talent, through our sponsorship of the “Emerging Artists Showcase” and to present original theater and musical works, such as the musical parody “Vermont Idol” and the one-man show “I Can Almost Taste It!” And, of course, we continue to offer our annual Christmas concert as a gift to the community featuring the many wonderful adult and children choristers in our area. We are working to increase our offerings to include more visual art, dance, poetry and jazz in the future.

HCA also works to provide arts activities, support and scholarships through the elementary school and high schools in the area. We are always looking for projects to sponsor, for volunteers to lend a hand and for community members with artistic talent or just a talent for having fun to join in our shows. We are now developing our upcoming season and we invite you to visit our web site at www. hartlandarts.com for more information. While you are there, we encourage you to sign up for our mailing list which will notify you directly of all HCA events as they HCA Board

17. Carson City is the capital of what state? Boy Scout Troop 235 Boy Scouts of America - Hartland, Vermont 21

Meetings Every Thursday night Hartland Fire Station 6:45 to 8pm 2nd Floor, Troop room Contact Scout Master: Rendi Strawbridge 802-457-5114 [email protected]

The Hartland Boy Scout Troop offers the young men in this community a program rich in outdoor experience, leadership, life skills, and lots of fun. We function as an active Troop in the Green Mountain Council, Calvin Coolidge District, Boy Scouts of America. Our sponsor is the Hartland Volunteer Fire Department. We currently have 34 registered youth members, and an experienced and dedicated staff of adult leaders. We proudly turn out a few Eagle Scouts every year. Our unit is what the B.S.A. calls a Boy Run Troop - meaning that the youth of our Troop set the yearly agenda, with a different feature/outing each month. The boys then decide which activities to attend, or they dream up their own. The adult leadership enables and supports them in their efforts.

Here’s what we have been doing lately: We attended the Camporee at The Fort No. 4. We participated in a District Klondike Derby -pulling the Klondike sled to different stations along a beautiful wooded course and competed in fire building, first aid, knots, building emergency shelters and orienteering. We went winter camping in a really cool barn in Underhill, VT. To shake the winter blues we had our troop swim in Ascutney’s pool.

We did a lot to help our local community: cooked and served dinner to some of those affected by hurricane Irene, built a trail system at Hartland Elementary School, parked cars at Old Home Day, built a set of stairs at VINS, built some benches at Quechee State Park, helped pick up trash, and repainted some parking assist lines at the fire department.

Coming up this Spring and Summer: The Scouts of our Troop are busy planning the activities they are interested in for the coming seasons. Hurry up and join the planning. We’ll be doing some camping, backpacking, fishing and boating. Our Troop was selected to attend a phenomenal camporee at the United States Military Academy in West Point, NY. This camporee is entirely run by the West Point Cadets.

Coming up in August we will he headed to Washington State for “a trip of a lifetime”. We will visit Mt Rainier, Mt St. Helens, Olympic National Park and the San Juan Islands. We will go on a whale watch, do a little sea kayaking, swim in some hot springs, hike some trails and learn about the local culture. To all of you in the community who have helped us in some way by contributing or participating in one of our MANY fundraisers… we thank you from the bottom of our hearts for helping us raise some money to lower the total cost of this incredible outing. THANK YOU!

All boys ages 11 and up are invited to join us.
