Keeping Reading Students It is the power of knowledge vested within the pages of books that turns the wheels of innovation and curiosity to make a better tomorrow (or at least a more interesting one) |

Redesign Q&A MARCH 20, 6pm
How can we have healthy class sizes to improve quality but also allow us to plan more predictably and save money? Do we need to combine grades that are currently in different buildings? What are the implications of closing a school? Can we take advantage of efficiencies or cohort grouping to support more opportunities in and out of the classroom? What are the key drivers to providing excellent education and lowering costs? These are the questions of school redesign.
The HUUSD board has already started exploring some of these questions but is in the very early stages of the process. Although we have not even finalized a timeline, we are holding a public Q&A session on Tuesday, March 14 as part of our commitment to engaging the public early and often.
Come find out some of the information we have explored to date and what our next steps are. Please also come with your ideas for saving money, improving quality and/or equity, and for supporting healthy community conversations as we progress through the process.

Harwood Union Music Department is thrilled to be hosting the Hofstra Chamber Choir during their spring concert tour. They will be performing at the Waterbury UCC on Friday, March 23rd at 7:30pm. This choir from Hofstra University in New York provides an excellent display of artistry through diverse programming of choral works. They are the smallest and most select of Hofstra's choral ensembles and is comprised of some of the best singers at the University both in and out of the music department. Their director, David Fryling, is a renowned conductor who recently served as President of ACDA's Eastern Division, and won the American Prize in Conducting in 2 categories: Community Chorus and Colleges & Universities. It is truly an honor to have Dr. Fryling and the Hofstra Chamber Choir join us here in Vermont! And, as if this was not exciting enough, Harwood's own chamber choir, "I Cantori" will be performing with them that night after attending a workshop with Dr. Fryling in the afternoon.
There is a $5 suggested donation to cover costs. Any remaining proceeds will go to the Harwood Music Scholarship Fund which supports our students with financial needs so they can have equal access to our private lesson program.
HELP NEEDED!
Please help us to house these great collegiate singers. We need host families for one overnight (Friday only). If you have space available (an air mattress will do), please fill out the form here: https://goo.gl/forms/
