VERGENNES — The Vergennes American Legion Post 14 will be sponsoring five VUHS delegates to this year’s Green Mountain Boys’ State, held June 18-23, at Lyndon State College in Lyndonville, Vermont: Lance Bergmans, Mason Charlebois, Casey Kimball, Aaron Premont, and Ethan Sausville. Alternate Ethan Sausville will also attend in place of Ben Praamsma, who was also selected but is unable to attend. 
The boys were nominated by faculty and staff based on leadership, character and honesty, cooperativeness, community participation and service, and scholarship. 
Green Mountain Boys’ State is a leadership laboratory for rising high school senior boys. The main focus is Vermont town, county, and state government, and its organization, policies and procedures. They will work on issues relating to Vermont, and debate and discuss these issues during a session at the State House in Montpelier.
