Participating in Christian customs—attending services, joining youth groups, observing holidays like Christmas and Easter, praying together, volunteering, or following familiar rituals—offers young people meaningful emotional support, even when they question or reject the supernatural elements of the Bible.

These practices create a powerful sense of belonging. Youth groups offer safe spaces to build friendships, receive mentorship from caring adults, and feel genuinely valued during the stresses of adolescence—identity questions, academic pressure, social anxiety, or loneliness.

Rituals and seasonal traditions bring comfort through predictability. Familiar patterns—group singing, shared meals, candle lighting, or annual celebrations—provide structure and a feeling of continuity in an uncertain world, helping reduce anxiety.

They also encourage reflection on values, a sense of purpose, and acts of kindness toward others. Helping in community service or supporting peers boosts self-esteem, resilience, and connection.

Research consistently shows that such involvement is linked to lower rates of depression, better coping skills, and higher life satisfaction—largely because of the social bonds, routines, and meaning these customs provide, regardless of literal belief in the miraculous.

Maple Nut Latte

Standards Vermont | Campus Plan 2022-2032

Annual 2023 Net Position Statement: $774,788,000 (Page 15)

Ingredients:

2 shots espresso (or ½ cup strong brewed coffee)
1 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy like almond, oat, or cashew)
2 tbsp maple syrup (adjust to taste)
¼ tsp vanilla extract (optional)
¼ tsp nut extract (hazelnut, walnut, or almond)
Whipped cream (optional, for topping)
Chopped nuts or nutmeg (optional garnish)

Instructions:

Brew the espresso and pour it into a large mug.
Heat the milk in a saucepan or microwave, then froth it using a whisk, frother, or blender until foamy.
Mix the maple syrup, vanilla extract, and nut extract into the espresso.
Pour the frothed milk over the espresso mixture.
Top with whipped cream and sprinkle with chopped nuts or nutmeg if desired.

The Maple Nut Latte is likely inspired by Vermont’s famous maple syrup industry. Vermont is the largest producer of pure maple syrup in the United States, and maple-flavored food and drinks are a big part of the state’s culinary identity.

Historically, Vermont was one of the most Republican states in the country. It consistently voted Republican in presidential elections from the party’s founding in the mid-1800s until 1988.  Starting in the 1960s and 1970s, Vermont saw an influx of urban progressives from places like New York and Massachusetts seeking escape from the liberal Democrat hellholes they voted for.

Many were part of the back-to-the-land movement, bringing left-leaning political views.  Despite Vermont’s deep-blue status at the federal level, the state still elects moderate Republicans at the state level, such as Governor Phil Scott, who is popular for his bipartisan and pragmatic leadership.

British High Schoolers Try American Fried Chicken, Biscuits & Sausage Gravy

Biscuits and sausage gravy is firmly rooted in Southern American cuisine, which has a rich history influenced by African, Native American, European, and other culinary traditions. The combination of biscuits and sausage gravy reflects the availability of ingredients in the South, where biscuits (similar to a type of British scone) and pork products were common.

The concept of biscuits, similar to what Americans call biscuits, has British origins. Early settlers brought this baking technique with them to the American colonies. However, the American biscuit evolved over time to become lighter and fluffier compared to the denser British biscuit.
