Return Policy
Ms. Couturier loves being at Moretown School. She has been the principal for 5 years and is grateful for all the moments. What she loves most about teaching and working in a school is helping kids. She loves school lunch, it was hard to pick a favorite, but breakfast for lunch is the best!
When she is not at MES, Ms. Couturier most enjoys hanging out with her 3 kids and watching movies. Her favorite color is orange most days, some days it is purple. She loves animals. Her favorites are dogs and elephants. Her favorite snack food is chips. She’s never met a chip she didn’t like. Her favorite non-snack food is enchiladas. Someday she’d love to travel back to England and show her family some cool things.

Mrs. Moore has been in lots of different positions here at MES in the last couple of years. This spring she is covering some leave time for Mr. G. In the fall she will return as an Interventionist.
Mrs. Moore has worked at MES for 10 ½ years. She’s worked with great teacher and students along the way. Her favorite part of teaching is making an impact on students.
Here’s some cool things to know about Mrs. Moore. She was born in Massachusetts and then moved to RI, and then settled in Vermont. Her favorite season is summer, and in her free time she enjoys paddle boarding, biking and walking. She also likes to snowshoe in the winter. Her favorite animal is a horse, her favorite color s blue and her favorite holiday is Thanksgiving. It’s going to be great to have Mrs. Moore in her new role next year!

Did you know that Moretown School has a handful of staff who also went to school here? Lindsey Nunn is one of those folks! One things she remembers about going to school here is when Ms. H was a teacher :) She’s brand new to working here and the thing she loves best about Moretown School is the people.
Here’s some interesting things about Lindsey. Her favorite school lunch is pasta and her favorite season is spring. She loves the color yellow and her favorite holiday is Easter. Her favorite animals are cats. And in her free time she likes to do crafts and puzzles. We are fortunate to have Lindsey here with us, and keep our school clean and tidy. Thanks Lindsey!

Parlez vous français? Well, if you do, Madame is someone you should connect with! Madame Lindberg has studied French for over 46 years…and is still learning! She acquired French while she was growing up in France. She continues to learn French by reading books and watching movies and shows all in french/ She has a brother and a sister and two kids. She also has a rabbit named Pepper as a pet. She loves the colors pink, blue and purple; her favorite color is periwinkle and her favorite food is mango.
At Moretown and Fayston Schools, she teaches French to students in kindergarten through 6th grade. She also has taught French to adults, but prefers to teach kids! She travels to France as often as she can.

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.
The Valley Players, a local theater company from Waitsfield, VT, have announced that this year's Summer production is Roald Dahl's Willy Wonka! On July 9th, with the help of area sponsors, the Valley Players will host a Sensory Friendly matinee at 2:00. This show welcomes guests and their families that require a different atmosphere to experience the joy of the theater as well as first-time theatergoers and young children. All patrons are welcome in this fun, safe, and non-judgmental environment. To make this experience more comfortable, we will have limited seating in family groupings. Tickets for this event will be at a reduced cost thanks to our generous sponsors. There will be no ticket sales at the door the day of the show. All tickets will need to be purchased in advance online to ensure that we can accommodate everyone. Please visit www.valleyplayers.com for tickets.
All guests are encouraged to come as their amazing selves! If someone in your party would benefit from bringing something that would make this experience more successful for them (ex: headphones, handheld fidgets, chewy tubes...), please feel free to bring these items with you the day of the show. Patrons are free to be who they are and take breaks, entering or exiting the theater as needed throughout the show. We will have a trained volunteer staffed sensory space for guests to use outside of the theater if they need a break from the show.
Local Student Actors (Some making their Community Theater Debut):
Zane Demarais (BTMES/Websterville), Jane Schaefer (Harwood/Waitsfield), Camille Edgcomb (Harwood/Warren), Naomi Niewiadomski (Waitsfield), Tarin Askew (Harwood/Warren), Tommy O'Grady (Waitsfield), Sunny Randall (Moretown), Ava Robinson (Warren), and Elizabeth Treacy (Fayston)
"A Sensory Friendly performance is a theater production that welcomes individuals with sensory needs, including people on the autism spectrum, as well as first-time theatergoers and young children. The show is modified to allow for patron movement, staff and actors are trained to accommodate patron needs, and all patrons are welcome to experience theater in a safe, non-judgmental environment."
Quiet Space: We will set up an outdoor canopy/designated space.
Devices: Communication devices are encouraged for those that depend on them.
Other accommodations: We should encourage guests to bring what they feel will help make their experience successful. This could include: headphones, handheld fidgets, chewy tubes...Guests are welcome and free to be who they are and take breaks as needed. Our house lights will be dimmed but not off. Intensity of sounds and lighting effects will be reduced. This is also the first show for some of our actors and we are all here to have fun!
Volunteers: We will need volunteers on the day of the show to staff the sensory area and a couple of ushers/people to help with the doors and guests needs inside of the show. These will be people that have been trained or have experience prior to the show to be on hand and assist with patron needs. (We will reach out to our "Buddies List" to see if any are available for this event as many have been trained previously.)
This is sponsored in part by Washington County Mental Health Services, the home of the Imagination Station Snoezelen Room.
