Greensboro Wonder & Wisdom receives Engaged Community Partner Award

The Vermont Campus Compact, a statewide coalition of college and university presidents, recently awarded Greensboro Wonder & Wisdom with their "Engaged Community Partner Award" for our meaningful and committed engagement with a higher education partner.  The Vermont Campus Compact honored us with the following dedication: "Thank you for your work to strengthen communities and improve lives".  Our Sterling College intern, Molly Cyr, has been working with us since the fall of 2008.  Molly nominated Greensboro Wonder & Wisdom for this award, based on our intention to develop the inner lives of children and to help them develop a lifetime love of learning.  On April 1st, 2009 (not an April Fool's joke) some of the staff and Wonder and Wiz kids traveled to Burlington to pick up their award.  One child asked, "Did we get first place?" Our response: "Why, yes we did!"  It has been a pleasure having Molly work with us this year.  She is wonderful and has wisdom beyond her years.  We hope that she may continue to grow with us throughout her college career.
