THANK YOU!
Dear MES Parents,
Thank you for all of those who came to the Spaghetti Dinner, which benefited the Sixth Grade class trip that we do every spring. We hope that you enjoyed the spaghetti and salad. It was a lot of work to prepare for, but it was worth it. We ended up raising over $800. We couldn’t have done it without everyone’s support. The sixth graders had lots of fun. Thank you- from the Sixth grade class

Track in the Woods project
Dear friends and athletes everywhere,
Welcome to our TRACK IN THE WOODS @ Harwood Union High School crowd funding page! Here's our vision and story.
OUR GOAL!
We are going to raise $400,000 to build a new, unique, environmentally friendly state-of-the-art 8 lane destination track and field complex – a TRACK IN THE WOODS - for Harwood Union High School in Vermont's Mad River Valley, the state of Vermont, and the Northeast as a whole.
We are starting our project with this $40,000 IndieGogo campaign to show the world that we've got grassroots support for this exciting and unique idea. Join us as a donor!
WHY A NEW TRACK?
Here's the story. Harwood Union High School’s current track is decades-old, covered with grass, and in dramatic disrepair. (CHECK OUT OUR FUN VIDEO). This, despite the fact that 10-15% of the Harwood student body participate in track and field related sports throughout the school year, AND Harwood's boys and girls cross country and track teams have won a total of THIRTY FIVE Vermont state Division II championships during the past FORTY years. “The Harwood Track & Field program prides itself on being an all inclusive program, allowing varying abilities to participate, while still being one of the top Teams in Vermont Division II, with multiple Team State Championships as well as numerous individual State titles,” explains head coach Taggert Haslam. "We always ask - how hard are you willing to work for your teammates’ success?"
WHY NOW?
Given our incredible legacy at Harwood, we feel it is now time to build our high school, our towns, and our state a Harwood TRACK IN THE WOODS that reflects the history, pride, and future prospects of our community – a track we can all celebrate and enjoy!
WHAT IS A "TRACK IN THE WOODS," EXACTLY?
Picture this. We imagine our Harwood TRACK IN THE WOODS complex as a unique athletic facility in the heart of central Vermont that matches our region’s character. We will design and build our TRACK IN THE WOODS in an environmentally-friendly way: selectively cutting trees, harvesting on-site wood and stone for on-site facilities, and tapping into the local wisdom of our foresters, designers, architects, construction engineers, coaches, and athletes to create a destination complex of which all of us can be proud, AND a site that attracts athletes from all over the state and region.
$40,000 - IS THAT ENOUGH MONEY TO FUND THIS INCREDIBLE IDEA?
Not quite. We have a two-phase plan to fund the Harwood TRACK IN THE WOODS, based on an estimated $320,000 cost for the 400 meter track itself. (WONKY MATH ALERT: 8 lanes of 400 meters each = 3200 meters; so $40,000 buys a single lane, and $100 buys one meter of each lane).
So...
Phase 1: We will raise $40,000 from the HUHS running community, alumni, friends, families and supporters to support a single lane through our INDIE GOGO crowd-funding campaign. (September through December 2015). ($100 buys a meter; all $100 donors or more will have their names affixed on a plaque that will grace the Harwood TRACK IN THE WOODS entrance.)
Phase 2: We will raise $280,000 through business sponsorships and foundation partnerships to complete Harwood TRACK IN THE WOODS funding for the track itself – businesses and foundations can buy /fund lanes or share the cost of lanes, and will be honored on our site in some public way. (January 2015 through May 2015).
Exciting, right?
Please give generously, and share our story with your family, friends, colleagues, and loved ones through email, social media like Facebook, and best of all, word of mouth.
We hope you will join us in making this exciting vision a reality!
Sincerely,
Friends of the Harwood TRACK IN THE WOODS Outreach Group
