Vermont - Mahalo

Vermont became a state of the Union, on January 18, 1777. For six months it was known as New Connecticut until June 2, 1977, when the 72 delegates met again to change the name to Vermont.
Vermont is part of the New England area and is surrounded by Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New York and the Canadian province of Quebec.
The area that later became Vermont was originally inhabited by Native American tribes, Abenaki and Iroquois.
Schools Prepare for H1N1

School opens this week in Vermont and Vermont wants to be ready for H1N1 (swine flu) and the possibility of outbreaks within the school system. State health and education officials have suggested "planning teams" as a way to get out ahead of H1N1 within the schools. Parents are also being asked to further and more closely monitor their children for swine flu symptoms. The Vermont Health Department is working closely with the CDC to keep everyone informed and also suggesting school based vaccination clinics.http://www.rutlandherald.com/article/20090829/THISJUSTIN/908290312<ref>
