Shoutout to the educators and the students

There’s been a huge outpour of support for Vermont Mask Week, and we are so thankful to all of you for your participation and enthusiasm around this new initiative! I wanted to write a special post to shout out all the educators and students who have taken it upon themselves to host and promote their own Mask Week events. In addition to Middlebury College, we had exciting mask-making events at Champlain College (with their beloved mascot Chauncey the Beaver­), UVM, NVU-Lyndon, NVU-Johnson, and Vermont Law School.  A few campuses even added special mask-themed twists to existing events! NVU-Lyndon hosted a mask-themed Trivia Night with questions about masks and the coronavirus, and will have a DIY-mask design table at their Friday Paint Night event. High schools all over the state have also hosted DIY-mask making events with the help of our fantastic team of student Social Media Ambassadors and dedicated high school nurses. Thank you for helping keep our schools safe and open this fall!
