Congratulations to EHS teacher Liz Ritchie. Ritchie was awarded the 2024-2025 UVM Outstanding Educator Award.
It was shared that Mrs. Ritchie “is dedicated to helping all her students reach their full potential through one-on-one meetings, frequent calls home, and consistently going out of her way to provide additional support. This is evident by the deep connections she makes with kids. She has high expectations for students, but she's compassionate. She’s also an advocate for all students regardless of ability.”

The Heavenly Food Pantry, located at the First Congregational Church on Main Street in Essex Junction, will be open to residents of Essex, Essex Junction, and Westford on Monday, September 9, from 5:30-7:30 p.m. Beginning at 5:30, families arriving will be given a number, where they will wait in the sanctuary for their number to be called. They will then be registered and guided to the food pantry, where a volunteer will greet and escort them around, allowing them to make selections. After food is gathered, it will be weighed (information for pantry use only) and another volunteer will bring the food to the family’s vehicle. Shopping carts will be made available for those within walking distance of the pantry.
Face masks are optional for those entering the food pantry to ensure safety for visitors as well as volunteers. As usual, there are no income requirements to visit the food pantry and a variety of food is available to everyone; however, additional food is provided by the USDA once a month to eligible persons who fall below federally mandated guidelines. Those not able to attend the pantry may call the Church office at 878-5745 between 9 a.m. and noon today or Monday to leave contact information (name, address, number of family members, phone number) so arrangements for delivery can be made. Follow-up calls to complete registration and schedule deliveries will be made Monday morning. Families are currently able to visit the pantry each time it is open on the 2nd Monday of the month from 5:30-7:30 p.m. and the 4th Thursday of the month from 3-6 p.m.
The next food pantry distribution will occur on Thursday, September 26 from 3-6 p.m.
EHS teacher Liz Ritchie was awarded the 2024-2025 UVM Outstanding Educator Award. Ritchie will be celebrated at the 44th annual UVM Outstanding Educator Awards Event on Thursday, November 7 in the Dudley H. Davis Center.
