Dear Parents,
There is not much to report this week, given how short it has been. It seems that students enjoyed yesterday’s snow day. It is difficult to predict exactly how severe a storm will prove to be. I was grateful that the high winds that were predicted did not materialize. This was the prettiest snow storm this year.
I want to encourage all of you to attend the Annual School District Meeting on Monday at 7:30 PM in Damon Hall. It is at this meeting that questions about the budget can be answered by members of the Board of School Directors.
Voting to approve the school and town budgets will take place at Damon Hall on Tuesday. Voting begins at 7:00 AM. In addition to the budgets, new members of the school board will be elected. I urge you all to participate.
Students are celebrating Dr. Seuss’s birthday today. The day started with grade 8 students reading to Kindergarten children. Guest readers are scheduled among the classes all day.
We will be making coffee for parents on Monday morning in the lobby. Please stop by for a cup, take a few minutes with Mr. Cox and myself, and share your thoughts with us.
The meteorologist on channel 3 has stated that yesterday was the first day of spring. He looks at March – May as spring, June- Aug as summer, Sept – Nov as autumn, and Dec – Feb as winter. Although this is not accurate, it feels nice to have someone talking about spring!
Have a good weekend. It doesn’t look like our snow will be lasting much longer. Stay dry and as always, give your child a hug for me.
