Montpelier Learning Center
Holiday Party
December 2011
Montpelier volunteer and Shop Talk leader, Jeanne Cariati, organized a lovely holiday party with the help of students and staff on December 16. Good food and holiday cheer were in abundance. Volunteers, students and staff thoroughly enjoyed themselves.
Shop Talk is an on-going support group organized by Montpelier volunteers for Montpelier volunteers to regularly share their variety of experiences at CVABE. Volunteers teachers also discuss the methods they are using in their tutoring sessions. The idea for the holiday party was born out of a Shop Talk meeting.

The group participated in a recent discussion and writing
workshop using Coman’s book, What Jamie Saw. The book, which tells the
story of a young boy who witnesses domestic violence in his home, has
been used for similar workshops throughout the state sponsored by the
Vermont Humanities Council.
