Schools and CollegesWe are very grateful for the generous support and involvement that these educational institutions have provided during the past year. Mount Anthony - Career Development Center In an effort to challenge its students with diverse, integrated and meaningful service opportunities and experiences,
BBA students visited the Lewis home on Saturday, April 5th with their advisor, Pete Nicholson.
As a part of their service learning project, members of the BBA freshman class made two end tables and a porch glider as house warming gifts for the Jenks family. They and their advisor, Pete Nicholson, presented the table to Christine Jenks on Saturday, December 9, 2006.
On December 16, 2006 BBA students presented Christine with the glider they had made at the BBA shop under the direction of Cliff Hay. They also toured the home with Christine and had many good questions about how Habitat selects and works with families.
On November 4, 2006 BBA students sold 126 studs and raised $359 that will be used to build a home in Rupert. The construction for this home will begin in late April 2007. We are most grateful to the BBA students for their help, and we thank everyone who bought and signed studs and to r.k. Miles for allowing BBA students to sell the studs.

The Building Trades 1 Class of the Career Development Center built a shed in the winter of 2007 with the intent that it would be raffled to raise funds to build another Habitat home. The class did a great job, and the Interact Club and Marketing Class designed the plan for the raffle. They raised just over $1,600 for Habitat. This was a most creative way for students to help advance Habitat's work and to learn about ways to give back to the community. We are most grateful to these students and their teachers for all their hard work and their dedication to helping their community.
During the winter of 2008, students at the Career Development Center of Bennington built another shed for Habitat. Jim Glibert, their teacher, wanted his students to learn how to build a house and building this shed was a great first step. The students transported the shed to r.k. Miles in Manchester where it will be displayed until it is sold.
The funds to purchase the building supplies were donated by the Berkshire Bank. Habitat will use the proceeds from the sale of this shed to buy building supplies to help another family.
In the late spring, Jim Gilbert and some of his students built a small play house for the July 2008 auction. Photo (left) Jim is on the right - and is thanked by Habitat board president, Dick Malley. The shed was beautifully made and was sold at the auction for $650. MEMS (Manchester Elementary and Middle School)
During December 2006, members of Dinnnah Ivey's 8th grade advisory will be selling raffle tickets for mid season Bromley ski passes. The raffle will continue until December 19th We are most grateful to Diannah and to her class for their most enthusiastic support.
