Rebel Amigas in Montpelier

JrIronChef-Montpelier

On Tuesday, April 8, 2014 three members (Kaylah Jacobs, Bailey Gouin, and Anastasia Stevens) of the Rebel Amigas, Leland and Gray's Jr. Iron Chef team, traveled to the State House in Montpelier. The students were among other Jr. Iron Chef teams who were recognized for winning at the state competition on March 22, 2014. While in the House Chamber a Resolution was read honoring the winning teams.

Following the Resolution reading and public recognition the teams set up food preparation stations in the cafeteria where they prepared their winning recipes for the legislators and other state employees. While proudly serving their food they met local representatives, Richard Marek and Carolyn Partridge.

 
After serving their food they were treated to lunch in the cafeteria by Abbey Food Group's Chef Ray Wood. During lunch they were joined by Karen Taylor Mitchell from the Governor's Institute who spoke with the team about the Institute's Farm, Food & Your Future week. Rebecca Sanborne Stone, a VT FEED consultant interviewed the team about their participation in Jr. Iron Chef.
 
The Rebel Amiga's team was joined by co-coaches  Chef Joseph Gerardi, from the Abbey Group and Susan Jones, Family and Consumer Science Teacher, as well as Victoria Chertok, 21 Century Coordinator, all of Leland and Gray High School.
 
The visit to the State House was coordinated by Amy Gifford, VT Feed and Jr. Iron Chef Coordinator.

LELAND AND GRAY STUDENTS CHINA BOUND!

 

DSC03574Since being accepted into the program in February of 2013, 16 high school students from Leland and Gray have been gearing up to depart for a month-long study/performance tour of China as part of “Journey East: Leland and Gray’s Sino-American Academy and Arts Exchange.” Beginning this past January, the students, ranging in age from 14 to 18, have been enrolled in China-related courses at Leland and Gray where they have studied Chinese history, geography, philosophy, literature, language and film, in preparation for their adventure in the Far East.

A central focus of the Journey East program is an original production developed by the students with musical and artistic direction from long-time Leland and Gray music teacher Ron Kelley and Jennifer Connor, both of whom have extensive experience developing programs that bridge cultural barriers. Utilizing the diverse talents of the students, this fun-filled program of dance, comedy, instrumental and vocal music will be presented to thousands of Chinese students in primary, middle schools and universities in Guizhou Province, Chongqing, Shandong Province in eastern China and in Hohhot, Inner Mongolia.
