Green Cup Challenge
The Green Cup Challenge is basically one of the school-to-school, worldwide competitions run by the Green Schools Alliance. The Green Cup Challenge focuses on energy savings overall. At Williston, we break it into dorms and make it a competition here as well. So while students are competing against other dorms, they are also collectively competing against other schools. The green banner will be presented to the dorm that is saving the most energy (when compared to the three previous years).
Follow www.willistonblogs.com/communitygarden for more news and updates about the Green Cup Challenge.

Field Trip to Easthampton Wastewater Treatment Plant on Dec. 9
Students in AP Environmental Science will visit the Easthampton Wastewater Treatment Plant on Tuesday, December 9. This field trip, from 1:40 p.m. – 3 p.m., is required for the 10 students who are enrolled in APES and will be overseen by science teacher Matt Spearing.
During a similar trip last year, Sally Peters, the Coordinator of the Industrial Pretreatment Program at the City of Easthampton Wastewater Treatment Facility, gave the class an extensive tour of the facilities. The tour started at the influent where the wastewater drains from all over town and included the primary physical separation of solid material takes place, followed by biological breakdown in the secondary treatment with bacteria and protozoa doing most of the work, and then the final settling tanks and chlorine added to the effluent.
Concert on Wednesday
Hello All,
Please join us Wednesday evening at 7 p.m. in the Dodge Room of the Reed Campus Center for a special opportunity to enjoy some wonderful music. You’ll hear a brief recital of unaccompanied viola music from the past 300 years performed by professional musician and composer Scott Slapin. The program includes Bach’s Chaconne, Paganini’s 13th Caprice, John Duke’s Sonata for Viola, and two works by Mr. Slapin. Please spread the word to those in our community who may not see this and we’ll see you then!
Mr. Demerath
