ESBR: ESBR Legion BBQ Donation to BRGNS

Ludlow, VT: In August at the very end of the summer, the Expeditionary School at Black River and Ludlow Legion hosted a sold out Chicken BBQ, raising just over $2000! The BBQ had been agreed upon back in the Spring, at which time ESBR was still in the midst of the Vermont State Board of Education's Approval Process. Although it was important for the school to continue a steadfast fundraising plan, after the July flood hit ESBR knew they needed to share the proceeds of whatever would be raised at the Chicken BBQ, and it was cemented that half the
proceeds would be donated to the Black River Good Neighbor Services to assist their efforts in flood relief.
As mentioned above, the Chicken BBQ was a huge success, selling out of over 120 chicken meals. On September 26th, and as part of this year's curriculum learning about various departments and organizations within the community, students ventured over with ESBR Chair
and volunteer lead instructor Gary Blodgett to present the $1,000 check to BRGNS. As one of the students wrote later in their daily journal entry, it was "to help them give back to the community even more and to help the community after the flood."
A tremendous thank you to the Ludlow Legion and Black River Good Neighbor Services, and the Community as a whole. It was evident at the BBQ from the Legion volunteers to hungry patrons how much they care about supporting causes such as these. It is also inspiring to see
the students interact with these various community groups, which is one of the main pillars of expeditionary learning. It is amazing to see it in action.
Further information on ESBR is available at esblackriver.org. If you would like to learn more about the school or get involved, please contact Gary Blodgett, Chair of the Board, at gblodgett@esblackriver.org or 802-558-3147. Donations can be made on the website or by mailing a check to P.O. Box 485, Ludlow, VT 05149.

Ludlow Rotary Honors Revered Teacher Heidi Baitz

At their October 24th meeting the Ludlow Rotary Club surprised Ludlow Elementary's long time 6th grade teacher, Heidi Baitz, by presenting her with its annual Vocational Service Award. Baitz, who retired in June, thought she was going to a craft show with her sister at the United Church of Ludlow. She arrived to find the Ludlow Rotary Club meeting where she was the honored guest. Her husband, Mike Normyle was there waiting as well.


Rotary's Past President Jim Rumrill emceed the awards ceremony listing many of Baitz's outstanding contributions during her 38 year career at Ludlow Elementary School. Heidi coached 6th grade teams for Odyssey of the Mind for many years, qualifying for Worlds two times. She worked with parents and students to fundraise for field trips to Boston and Washington, D.C. Rumrill and Bruce Schmidt shared tributes from former students to Mrs. Baitz, crediting her for setting them on the road to success.


Mrs. Baitz always made sure the students were involved in community service, helping them understand the importance of it. Sharon Bixby spoke about Baitz's role in her students' developing permanent exhibits at Black River Academy Museum, including historic downtown Ludlow, and the Floods of 2011 compared to 1927. Baitz was the epitome of a comprehensive educator, according to former Town Manager Frank Heald who added that "if you searched Wikipedia for "Educator", the definition would read Heidi Baitz."

Given the chance to speak at the end, Heidi stated that she loved her job, which made it so wonderful to work for so many years with Ludlow's students and their families. She was presented with flowers as well as the Vocational Service Award.

Anyone interested in learning more about joining Rotary is invited to contact Kevin Barnes, Membership Chairman at (802) 228-8877, to receive an invitation to a meeting.
