WVC Conference

The Youth and Adults Transforming Schools Together (YATST) 2 day retreat!

The retreat was a great success the Winooski Voice Committee (WVC) had a productive and wonderful time. Both adults and students were able to refocus their efforts and begin to build a new and productive frame for continuing to work on student voice in Winooski.

Here are some of our accomplishments so far and where we are headed!

• A student Voice box has been purchased and prepped for hanging, and the unveiling ceremony is being planned post haste!
• With the support of Ms. Poquette the student counsel has been revamped
• The WVC is reviewing the focus group data from last year from a student perspective
• Research into “student” views and “faculty” views is continuing with the finalizing and distributing of a survey created at the YATST retreat.
• Interim and long term improvement projects are being created and discussed,
• Students have begun to set WVC agenda’s and conduct meetings.

The WVC is still evolving, and we appreciate the Design Committee’s continued to commitment to student voice, and collaboration!

The WVC are Rachel Aureli, Krystal Alexander, Steven Lawrence, Abdullahi Matan, Michael Mutty, Neyna Minert, Miranda Rouille, Michael Dumont II, Noah Everitt, Jackie Lynch, Marc McQuinn, and Courtney Poqutte.
