Washington Central Friends of Education
Bus Stop Conversations is published by Washington Central Friends of Education, Inc. (WCFE), a non-profit corporation committed to strengthening the communication and cooperation between the residents of the five district towns of Berlin, Calais, East Montpelier, Middlesex and Worcester, Vermont, and the schools of the Washington Central Unified Union School District. Since 1992, WCFE has provided a platform for much-needed new educational initiatives. It has been a resource for the Washington Central schools in expanding educational opportunities in areas such as alternative education programs, mentoring, after-school programs, community-based substance abuse prevention programs, service learning projects, and youth-initiated programs.
