School News:

KITs started this week.  We kicked it off in the gym, where students found their group-marked by a native Vermont animal.  Each group found their space to meet and got know each other a bit. Looking forward to many more Wednesday morning groups!

PE

Hey everyone!
On Monday we are beginning our biking unit. It would be great if students could bring their helmet to the school for the week. We have a fleet of bikes at school for students to use, along with helmets for those who need to borrow one. While the bike fleet is pretty spectacular, we do not have unlimited bikes in each size, especially in the smallest and largest sizes. If it’s possible for your family to bring your kids bikes to the school to use, that would be incredibly helpful! Bikes can be dropped off on the ball field. If you’d like your child’s bike to be locked, you need to provide the lock with your child, and they will need to be able to operate it on their own. All bikes are welcome to stay at the school for the week.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out to Miss Ally.

PS

pre-k will also be part of this on their PE day! I’ll have strider bikes for anyone who is still learning. I forgot to mention no bikes with training wheels are needed! We’re going to practice balancing!

The Halloween Party details are coming together. The festivities will start at 5:00 pm at the school.

Please donate candy for the village any day this week.  You can give to Mandy in the drop off loop, drop it to Brenda in the office or send it with your child.  Candy distribution will take place Friday I believe.
