LTS Students Compete in Penny War to Raise Flood Recovery Funds

May 27, 2025

Vermont experienced two major flooding events in 2023 and 2024. These events impacted many individuals and families within our communities. During winter carnival the Lyndon Town School middle school students competed in a Penny War and raised over $600 to help those that were impacted by the flooding. The funds raised were donated to KURRVE, a long term disaster recovery group serving the NEK.
