There’s no better way to get to know Lamoille North than to hit the road!
On Monday, August 17, we welcomed our newest educators to Lamoille North for New Teacher Orientation: a day dedicated to making connections, learning how our district works, meeting district leaders, and getting a firsthand look at the communities our students call home.
The afternoon featured one of our favorite traditions: the New Teacher Orientation Bus Tour, now in its ninth year!
After gathering at the CEC at Green Mountain Tech, our newest teachers and administrators climbed aboard the bus for a tour across Lamoille North.
Along the way, they visited Eden, Waterville, Cambridge, Hyde Park, and Johnson elementary schools, Lamoille Union Middle & High School, and Green Mountain Tech, getting a sense not only of the geography of our district, but of the unique communities, schools, and people that make Lamoille North such a special place to learn and work.
Leading the adventure were retired longtime Lamoille Union High School English teacher Doug Boardman and LNSU Mentor Program Director Jacqui Gale, who kept the ride lively with local history, demographics, trivia, stories, and, of course, prizes!
A huge thank-you goes to our driver, Susan Aedos of Cambridge, and to Jordynn Brisbin, Cambridge Elementary School's Transportation Coordinator, for helping us secure the bus and driver and keep this beloved tradition rolling.
And because no Lamoille County road trip is truly complete without a creemee, the afternoon wrapped up at Cupboard Deli and Bakery
The bus tour gives our newest educators something a map or handbook simply can’t: a chance to see where our students live, understand the communities that shape them, and experience some of the same roads our students travel to and from school each day.
Nine years in, this tradition has become a little bit legendary, and we can’t think of a better way to welcome the newest members of the Lamoille North family.
We are incredibly excited about this new group of educators and the energy, talents, ideas, and experiences they are bringing to our schools. Please join us in giving them a warm Lamoille North welcome!
Welcome to Lamoille North. We’re so glad you’re here!
