Young Writers (a note from the Children's Literacy Foundation):
On behalf of the CLiF team, congratulations to Owen A. and Marie W., who were selected as finalists in the 6-and-under age group of the Two-Sentence Winter Writing Contest! They will each receive one new book as a prize.
We had over 700 submissions to the writing contest, so your students should feel very proud of their achievements. Thank you for sharing their work with us!

Community News/Opportunities

Please note that the opportunities/events listed below are not specifically endorsed or screened by school staff. As always, families should use their own standards and review processes to determine appropriate activities.

Registration for the U6 & U8 Mad River Valley Soccer Spring '23 Season is now open and live.  (full link below)

 

Please know as you register, this program is designed to be fun for the kids,  there will be little to no "training" at any of these sessions - certainly no lines or laps or standing around.  The sole design for this age group is to get the kids coming back the next year to play! At each session the kids will spend about 15 minutes working on a skill that will help in the small-sided games and be reflective of a growing skill set for kids this age.

 

IMPORTANT MESSAGE FROM Don Haddox, Director of the Mad River Soccer U8 Program:

"I desperately need volunteer parents to be on each field with me.  You need absolutely zero soccer knowledge or coaching ability, you only need to be able to repeat: "which way is your team going?"  "How can you help?" and likely with the younger groups wipe away some tears of uncertainty and make sure kids are as involved as they, personally, can be that day. You don't even need to commit to helping every week and you can always be on your child's field - front row seat!  There is a place in the registration form to check "yes" if you'd be willing to help out."
