From the Headmaster

Dear Families:

In the next six weeks we have two tremendous opportunities for you to connect with this school.

Most immediately, we have Parent Open House on Thursday, February 7. All our teachers will be available to share the semester’s plans for creating engaging, vigorous experiences for your sons and daughters. I am hopeful that we can get a representative for each and every student in this school, which makes for a powerful demonstration of your commitment to and support for teaching and learning.

Second, on March 15 in the evening we will have a very special speaker: Joe Ehrmann, who is a former NFL player and nationally known coach. This evening will be mandatory for all spring athletes, but his message and his thoughts have tremendous educational relevance as well.  Great teaching looks markedly similar to great coaching, so our entire faculty will be in attendance.  I would argue that the best parenting, especially for high school students, shares many characteristics with great coaching, and I am certain that even if your son or daughter is not an athlete, you will gain insights from this evening.

So, here are two opportunities for you to benefit personally while demonstrating support for our school.  I hope to see you at both of these events.

Let’s hope some snow starts to fall instead of all this rain and mud that surrounds us. Wear your galoshes, and thank you for your continued support for Burr and Burton Academy.

Sincerely yours,

Mark H. Tashjian
Headmaster

tumblr_mh7r7d7Sa41rf4ahbo2_1280-1Last week was one for the record books! Our first graduating class made their official re-entry to the main campus, passing the torch to our Winter Pioneers. Leaving campus in Manchester was a little sad, saying farewell to our trailblazers, but incredibly exciting as we headed up the mountain to begin another semester. Our orientation, three days and two nights together at the Mountain Campus, was marked by constant sub-zero temperatures, brilliant days and stunningly clear nights, challenge, camaraderie, reflection and anticipation. We hiked Bromley on a day where the thermometer barely reached zero, learned how to decipher lunar phases and identified navigation stars, and interpreted fox, grouse, snowshoe hare and river otter tracks. We wrote in our journals, read Jack London’s classic To Build a Fire on our hike (yes, the protagonist does freeze to death, but we were fine) and Michael Pollan’s Food Rules as we cooked. But most importantly, we built a foundation of trust and a commitment to learning and living well together.

For students and parents interested in learning more about the Mountain Campus and admissions for next year, consider stopping by our Open House: Wednesday, February 13 from 5:30 to 7:30 PM at 3067 Hapgood Pond Road, Peru.

Onward and Forward!

From the Parent Association

The Burr and Burton Parent Association endeavors to foster partnership between families, school, and the community through communication, education, social and fundraising activities and advocacy.

February feels like a light month but that is because winter break is in it! Don’t forget the Open House on February 7. On the 12 is the second (of the year) Calliope Café at 6:30. Come to listen and be astounded by the talent at BBA! And to eat too!

Winter break is the week of the 18-22.

Last year, 29 percent of Burr and Burton Academy parents contributed to the annual campaign, for a total of approximately $89,000. While dollar amounts matter, participation matters much more. Our goal this year is simple – to increase that giving rate to 50 percent or more.

This year we’re going to have a bit of fun as we work toward that goal of 50% participation: a competition between the classes. We are tracking parent participation rates by grade level. When the campaign concludes in May, the class with the highest rate of parent giving will win an ice cream party….and a prize! More details on that to come soon.

Enjoy! See you in March.

Peggy Brockett
Parent Association President

Burr and Burton to Host Joe Ehrmann -“The Most Important Coach in America”

LUBOW-WK8G4018-colBurr and Burton Academy recognizes the importance athletics play in the education of student athletes. In an effort to continue to promote the positive virtues of sport as an avenue to develop young men and women of character, Burr and Burton is pleased to bring former NFL Player and best selling author Joe Ehrmann to BBA on Friday, March 15, at 6:30 pm.  The public is invited to hear coach Joe Ehrmann speak and attend a book signing hosted at Burr and Burton Academy, where he will share his mission to inform, inspire and initiate individual, community and societal change through sports and coaching. Coach Ehrmann will conduct a special coaching clinic for Southern Vermont coaches the following day on Saturday, March 16. Coaches are invited to sign up by calling BBA Athletic Director, Kathi Bierwirth at 802-549-8119 or by email at kbierwirth@burrburton.org. Tickets may be purchased online at http://BBAAthletics.ticketjunior.com, lunch will be provided.

Joe Ehrmann, a former NFL player, was a Baltimore Colts “Man of the Year” award winner, and was named as one of the 100 Most Influential Sports Educators in America. Working off of the idea of sports as not extra-curricular but co-curricular—a teaching environment just as significant as any classroom—Ehrmann will discuss how a good coach can instill virtues of community, justice, reason, respect, and responsibility in his or her players, as well as help them find victory on the field. His organization Coach for America, teaches empowering young athletes and has worked with schools and coaches throughout the nation on how to use athletics  to transform the lives of student athletes by helping them build self-esteem, awareness of others and the importance of being leaders within their communities.

To learn more about Joe Ehrmann, visit www.coachforamerica.com.

Please contact Cory Herrington at cherrington@burrburton.org or call 802.362.1775 for further information.

From the Advancement Office

We are so grateful to see the first of February knowing we made it through January – the longest, coldest, darkest month.  We hope you noticed – we were very quiet on the fundraising front knowing you were paying off holiday expenses and just hunkering down.   But now that it’s February, we have lots of things to share with you.

1. Update on Parent Annual Fund Giving:

We’re off to a good start with the Parent Challenge and here are some statistics to consider.
Remember, our goal is to get Parent support up to 50%!

As of January 30, 2013, overall parent support stands at 21%, and broken down by class¹:

Class of 2013 = 28.3%

Class of 2014 = 15.1%

Class of 2015 = 17.5%

Class of 2016 = 17.9%

¹If you have multiple students, your gift is counted in each class.

We still have work to do to get to the goal so please consider a gift to the annual fund today.  And here’s a little incentive for you…..

2. BBA Parent Thank You Party

Our BBA Parent Thank You Party is scheduled for the end of March from 5 PM – 7 PM (date place and time to be announced shortly).  Your ticket to the party?  A gift to the annual fund!  Any outright gift or gift-in-kind made since July 1, 2012, will get you on the invitation list.   So if you haven’t yet made a gift to the Annual Giving Campaign, we would appreciate your support.
There are three easy ways to make a gift:

  • Drop a check in the mail to:  Burr and Burton Academy Advancement Office, P. O. Box 498, Manchester, VT  05254
  • Give online:  www.burrburton.org/giving/online
  • Stop by, say hi and drop off your gift to the Advancement Office

Our sincere thanks to all of you who have supported the annual fund this year, and we look forward to seeing many more parents on the invitation list!  Remember, it’s the annual fund that helps provide all of the “extras” for your student here at Burr and Burton.

3. “Save the Date” for our annual fundraising gala:

BBA Evening Star Gala logo IRENE

Friday, May 24, 2013 at 5:30 PM at Hildene, the Lincoln Family Home.

Save the date postcards for this event will be out shortly and invitations will be out in the mail in April.  Make your plans early as we had a sellout crowd the past two years and a waiting list!

4. On-line Auction

On behalf of the committee for this year’s gala event, Evening under the Stars on May 24th, we invite you to participate in Burr and Burton Academy’s third annual online auction. With your contribution, the auction is sure to build on the momentum of last year’s inaugural success.

The auction is designed to generate excitement for the main event on the 24th. Launching on April 1st and closing on April 30th, the auction will reach bidders all over the world (including parents of our international students, long-distance grandparents, and our  alumni), plus the many friends of the school right here in our own backyard. The auction serves as a great way to involve those people who cannot attend the event for any number of reasons.

We are looking for services of all shapes and sizes to feature as stand-alone items and in specially designed packages.  Perhaps you can offer a service, such as landscaping or wood delivery? (In fact, a cord of seasoned and stacked wood donated by a BBA parent was one of our hottest items last year!)  Whatever the contribution, it will benefit our most precious commodity of all, our children!

Since the auction is running prior to the event, our timeline is pushed up a bit this year. We need to have your donation in the Advancement Office by February 28th. You are welcome to drop it off yourself or contact one of us and a committee member will come pick it up from you.  Don’t forget, your item or service donation counts toward parent participation in the Annual Giving Campaign and gets you on the list for the annual BBA Parent Thank-you Party!

Questions about the Online Auction?  Contact Christine Hoard, choard@burrburton.org or 549-8277.

Many thanks for your support and don’t forget to put the gala on your calendars!

College and Career Information

Meetings with Juniors
Individual meetings with juniors are now underway as we help them shape their futures in college, gap programs, employment, military service, and other options. All students will have a scheduled appointment with their counselor sometime in the next few months when they will complete a resume of activities and explore opportunities with us.

For students who don’t have college in their sights at this time, we will discuss ways for students to determine possible career and job interests. Field Study, elective courses and part-time jobs are good avenues for students to prepare for employment after high school.

We assist college-bound students with the college search process, discuss academic preparation, review PSAT scores and plan for standardized testing.  We look forward to continued contact with juniors throughout the next year as we work together to find good college matches.

Parents often wonder how they can help. We meet with students and help them compile an appropriate college list, but families need to take the next step.  Please facilitate some college visits during the spring semester.  In our experience, we have found that students who have visited a few campuses prior to applying find the process more meaningful and manageable.  With advanced notice to teachers and the Dean of Students, college visits are excused absences from school. Plan a trip to see a campus or two and take advantage of information sessions and tours. Then be sure to let us know your family’s impressions.

Another way that we coordinate efforts with students and families is through the Naviance Program (http://connection.naviance.com/burrburton). This on-line program contains multiple career and college resources and also serves as a communication tool.  We demonstrated various program functions during our evening College Program for Junior Parents in October.  If you’d like access to this program or need to reset your password, please email Lynne Welsh, Office Assistant at lwelsh@burrburton.org.

Don’t hesitate to contact us with questions or concerns.  We are eager to partner with parents in the college and career planning process.

From the Health Clinic

Dear Parent/Guardian:

Our school is participating in the Vermont Youth Risk Behavior Survey (YRBS) sponsored by the Vermont Department of Education and the Vermont Department of Health. The survey gathers information about health risk behaviors of 9th through 12th grade students. The survey includes questions about nutrition, alcohol, tobacco and other drug use, physical exercise, injuries, and sexual behavior. Schools, communities and state agencies will use the results of the survey to evaluate programs, plan new programs and to secure future funding.

We are planning to administer the survey on Thursday, February 14, 2013.

The federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, in conjunction with state and local school officials, developed the YRBS. It also has the support of many national organizations including the National PTA.

The YRBS is anonymous, and survey procedures have been designed to protect your child’s privacy. The names of students who take the survey and their survey responses will not be disclosed to any school employee nor will any student’s name or survey responses be divulged in a report of the results. We would like all students to take part in the survey; however, the survey is voluntary. No student is required to take the survey.

Should you decide to opt your child out of taking the survey please contact me directly (549-8132).

You may also contact me with any questions or concerns.

Thank you in advance for your cooperation.

Sincerely,

Megan Cornell, RN
Health Clinic Director/School Nurse
