| Moretown 6th graders on their adventure to Ottawa, the capital of Canada. A visit to the Governor General's Estate, History Museum, a re-enactment walk through old town, caving and a finish by white water rafting.. perfect way to end their time at Moretown. |

The end of the school year often brings mixed emotions for students, school staff and families. Often calendars are filled with the "count down" to the final day of classes. No doubt the year's "landing" can be seen as the finish line for many. We often find ourselves so occupied with piloting through the turbulence of the final days of our school's landing that we forget to look out the window and really appreciate the view. The many successes and learning experiences that we have all witnessed should provide a sense of pride and accomplishment and perhaps a glimer of the opportunities that lie ahead. As our life instrument panel blinks, whirls and buzzes, and our landing shakes under the stresses of a runway touch down, take a moment to appreciate those around you and capture the memories, as they are fleeting. Cherish these moments. Take a look out of the window..... its amazing out there.

For the last two weeks of school, we will be riding bikes in PEclass. If students would like to bring their own bikes, that is fine as long as they don’t have training wheels! We have access to an entire trailer of bikes and helmets, so bringing personal bikes is not necessary. However, personal helmets are recommended as they might fit better than the ones on the trailer.A great fun filled way to end the year! |

Host Families Needed Exchange students are really brave kids who step outside their comfort zones to become part of new families, schools, and communities. They are smart, engaged, and excited to share their country’s culture, traditions, and language. They believe that America welcomes the world. Exchange students bring new perspectives that can open minds, creating opportunities for engagement and understanding that strengthen schools and communities alike. Many host families develop a relationship that lasts a lifetime with the student they host. We have many students still awaiting a family to call their own and visa deadlines are fast approaching.
