Dear friends & families:
Leslie Montalto and Loretta Languett joined extended arts classes this week to begin our “Empty Bowls” artist residency. If your children haven’t already shared, ask them about the work they’ve done with clay and the bowl they are working on. Mark your calendar for Tuesday, April 13th, 5:30–6:30 p.m., when we’ll have our culminating event dinner. Tickets will be sold for dinner and a bowl, with all proceeds raised going to fight hunger in Vermont. Over the next few weeks, while students work on their bowls, they will also be learning more about hunger in Vermont and sharing some of their learning on that Tuesday evening. Tickets will go on sale next week—look for a local student salesperson to speak with you!
Family conferences are scheduled for next week on Thursday evening and Friday morning. These conferences are so important to further build the connection between home and school, allowing an opportunity to discuss children’s growth and progress academically and socially within the school setting. Thank you again for making this time to meet with your child’s teacher. We look forward to seeing you!
The 5th/6th grade play, Guys and Dolls, will be performed next Friday and Saturday evenings, March 19th and 20th. For months students have been engaged in preparation for what promises to be a stupendous performance. The performances are at the Valley Players Theater at 7:00 p.m. each evening—we hope you’ll join us for this great annual event. We promise a good show! Students and teachers will walk to the theater on Thursday afternoon for a preview during dress rehearsal.
Respectfully,
Kaiya Korb, Principal
