Let’s Talk: Supporting Healthy Use of Media & Technology for your Child
Hunt Middle School Ruby Bridges Walk
Hunt Middle School Honors Civil Rights Icon Ruby Bridges at 2nd Annual Ruby Bridges Day Walk
The Ruby Bridges commemorative walk honors Ruby Bridges’ courage as the first African American child to integrate an elementary school in the South on November 14, 1960. At HMS, our goal is to educate and inspire students by reflecting on her legacy of bravery, resilience, and the power of standing up for what is right. Through this walk, we aim to promote unity, kindness, and respect while empowering young people to recognize their own role in creating a more inclusive and just community.

Burlington Students Interested in Tobacco Prevention Attend Our Voices Exposed (OVX) Youth Leadership Conference
Thirteen students from Burlington High School, Hunt Middle School, and Edmunds Middle School—along with district OVX advisors Marissa Stokes and Heather Washburn, and BPHC coalition director Mariah Flynn—attended the OVX Youth Leadership Conference on November 5. The goal was to learn new tools and strategies for tobacco and nicotine prevention that can be brought back to their schools.
During the conference, students explored the risks associated with tobacco and nicotine use and discovered ways to make prevention initiatives fun and relatable. They practiced creative approaches to sharing prevention messages within their schools, particularly through social media and engaging video content.
What is OVX?
OVX, which stands for Our Voices Exposed, is a youth-led program in Vermont focused on tobacco and nicotine prevention, especially vaping. The program empowers middle and high school students to educate their peers, families, and local officials about health risks, the deceptive marketing tactics of the tobacco industry, and public health policies aimed at reducing use.
