Setting the record straight for story on|BUHS Project Feed the Thousands efforts

BRATTLEBORO — In the recent article “Bringing it all home” [The Commons, Dec. 1], there were some issues that must be clarified - primarily regarding participation in CLEA.

I am the Student Council president and we, the student council, are in charge of running Project Feed the Thousands at the High School (collecting food and money). I am not a member of CLEA, nor am I the student liaison to CLEA.

The article correctly stated in the beginning that Sam Stevens, Ari Wolfe, and Nicole Momaney share co-leadership of CLEA this year. However, at the end of the article it stated that I was a co-leader with Sam Stevens. That is not true and slightly confusing. It should be Ari Wolfe's name there in place of mine.

I understand that the reporter was under a tight deadline and thus may have gotten some things confused, but I feel that these corrections should be noted and credit given where credit is due.

I would like to thank you, though, for running the article. Project Feed the Thousands is an extremely important part of our community, and we at BUHS are very dedicated to trying to give as much as we can.
