Musical notes
Hello Moretown!
We are planning to do a non-traditional concert on the afternoon of Monday, June 6th at 1 p.m. in the school gym. We will feature the work that our K through 6 grade classes, our chorus, and our band students have been doing this year.
This is short notice, and with all of the uncertainty surrounding COVID it was difficult to find an evening that could work during this busy time of year, and so we are planning to video the event and put up a link to share with families.
Next year, we will pick the date in September so we can be sure to include all family members who are willing and able to participate.
Please join us if you are able.
Thank you!
Jeremy Hill and Carolyn Adams,
Music Teachers, Moretown Elementary
Notes from the Health Office
As you may have heard (or seen on the district site) COVID is still present in our community. We suggest testing your child if they may have been exposed or are showing symptoms. More information on how and when to test can be found on the HUUSD website:
Rapid tests are available from the school. Please contact the school if you need any!
Sun Protection
Moretown School students spend a lot of time outside in good weather. To decrease their risk of sunburn and skin cancer, apply sunscreen to areas of their skin that will be exposed to the sun BEFORE they leave for school in the morning. Children should not be carrying sunscreen or any other medication or skin treatment to school in their backpacks. Please let the nurse know if there are medical concerns around sun or heat exposure.
Facts about sunscreen:
SPF. Sunscreens are assigned a sun protection factor (SPF), which is a number that rates how well they block UV rays. Higher numbers indicate more protection. You should use a broad spectrum sunscreen with SPF of 15 or higher.
A good application of sunscreen before school will last several hours
Lotions or creams are the most effective and safest. Spray on sunscreens may contain chemicals that are harmful to the lungs if inhaled.
Expiration date. Check the sunscreen’s expiration date. Sunscreen without an expiration date has a shelf life of no more than 3 years. Its shelf life is shorter if it has been exposed to high temperatures.
Additional sun protection in the form of hats, light long sleeved shirts and long pants will help protect your child from the sun’s harmful rays.

Living Tree Alliance was honored to host all the 1st and 2nd graders and the NOW afterschool program this year at our sugarbush and bring the students to visit with our chickens and sheep. We host summer camps at our community farm and would love to wander the woods, rivers and fields with your kids. We spend the mornings on the farm growing food for the foodbank and playing games in the pavilion and at our natural playground and the afternoons swimming in the rivers and creeks while exploring the trails and forests in back of Harwood. The August dates of our camp correspond with the week that there is no Neck of the Woods camp.
Check it out, we have a few spots left!

Recreation takes on many forms, from team sports to a having a favorite sit-spot in the woods or on the river to reflect and relax.

Please take a few minutes to complete this survey. Your ideas and concerns will influence our collective future.
