Good Citizen Challenge Hall of Fame 2024
Looking for inspiration? Meet these Good Citizens!
Check out these outstanding entries we received in the summer of 2024. Some of these kids went above and beyond, while others perfectly captured the Good Citizen spirit.
Siena Keffer, 9, of East Montpelier visits the fire department. She learned that they receive up to 300 calls per year!
Briella DuBois, 7, of Proctor goes swimming at Bomoseen state park.
Susannah Rye, 10, of Waterbury donates food to a food pantry. She emailed her neighbors to ask them for donations, and she was able to get 33 items to drop off!
Heikki Milles, 8, of Richmond did Activity #9: Attend a Community Event. He went to see the Vermont Lake Monsters play at Centennial Field in Burlington. “You can usually find some friends at a Lake Monsters game. And, there’s a bunch of snacks.”
Students from Champlain Elementary School in Burlington did Activity #13: Pick Up Trash.
Vivi Milles, 6, of Richmond did Activity #7: Visit the Fire Department. “I learned that firefighters don’t only do fires. They also help people who are sick.”
Students from the Centennial Library in Morristown have been doing the Challenge together. Pictured here is Oliver Wetherbee during the team’s visit to a local fire station.
Hava Bensimhon, 8, of Burlington poses with Champ at a Vermont Lake Monsters Game. She wrote that, “part of being a Good Citizen is being a good fan to my sports team. And also Champ is really fun!”
Lilah Foerester, 6, and Liza Tirrell, 6, are doing the challenge together as a team! Here they are visiting a memorial in Vergennes honoring Stephen Bates, Vermont’s first known Black sherriff and chief of police.
