Hartford High School – 11/14/25
Hartford, VT

SEFE went back to school with Mrs. Lemieux's beloved Wellness class.

After listening to our slide presentation, freshmen and seniors got hands-on by constructing faux vertical septic systems and then "destroying" each other's systems with foam septic destroyers. A good time was had by all!

"The activities reinforced the core message of septic awareness while keeping the students engaged... the message of septic care was understood." – Sarah Lemieux

Aldrich Library – 10/16/25
Barre, VT

On this marginally brisk October Friday, we set up our booths in the lobby of the Aldrich Library, in response to a request from the adult reference librarian.

Interactions ranged from humorous to cerebral. Special thanks to library patron and book sale customer Margaret Ferguson for the gift:

Flush: the remarkable Science of an Unlikely Treasure by Dr. Bryn Nelson, in the spirit of Mary Roach.
