We are Honored

Monday, June 1st is upon us, and as you know, we are scheduled to attend a ceremony at the Capitol House in Montpelier.  Our schedule of events is attached.  Volunteers should arrive at 8:00 a.m. to give us time to organize rides.  I am expecting Jon J., Beth L., Krissa, Elizabeth, Suzie, Sandy, and Bear.  If anyone is not able to come, please email me geobaker3@myfairpoint.net over the weekend.

Students should dress appropriately for such an honor.  Everyone should wear comfortable shoes and be prepared for rain.  Bagged lunches are necessary.  Please have your child prepared for the visit as I will not have time or resources to do so Monday morning.

Thank you,

Georgeanne

May Update

Hello folks…Again I have been neglectful with the blog. My only excuse is exhaustion. As many of you know it has been an emotionally charged spring session for me, but I am committed to finishing this year on a high note. The children and I are working hard to finish curriculum and maintain focus.

PLEASE KEEP IN MIND…

The PTA is sponsoring a green up/May Day celebration on May 31st. Information about how you can help went home last week. Unfortunately, I will not be able to attend as I am working that day.

The field trip to the state house on June 1st is still on the schedule. The following people offered to drive: Elizabeth Cadwell, Suzie Lowe, Sandy Tarburton, Mary Simmons, Beth Libby, Jon Jameison, and Chatham Barnett. Thank you all for offering. As you can see we have plenty of cars going.  Perhaps we can coordinate car pooling that morning.  I will send more details about the trip later this week.

The WES Spring Concert is scheduled for tomorrow evening beginning at 6:30 p.m.  Please be sure to have your child dress appropriately for the occassion.
