Misc.

BOX TOPS FOR EDUCATION - these squares from various products that are worth 10cents each are continually being collected at the school to benefit PTNA. Julie Pryce-Kelley is shipping off a collection of them this weekend so if you have any you've been meaning to send in, please do. These are collected in the front office along with Campbell Soup labels.

STATEWIDE SCHOOL CALENDAR MEETING AT THE MONTPELIER HIGH SCHOOL LIBRARY TONIGHT (WEDNESDAY) 6:30-8PM. The Department of Education will be hosting five public meetings across the state to take public input on the development of a statewide school calendar. Students, parents, educators, school board members, community members, businesses, legislators and school administrators are encouraged to attend. The committee has drafted three calendars that would represent possible considerations for discussion purposes, which will be presented at the meetings. http://education.vermont.gov/new/html/mainnew.html The complete press release was linked on 10/19 "Statewide School Calendar Public Meeting Schedule" and draft calendars will be on that site as of the 24th.

Family GAME NIGHTS at Berlin Elementary School on Friday November 9the and Friday November 30th. Mark your calendar and bring something for potluck. 6pm - 8:30pm.

PTNA needs you! If you're able to volunteer some time, please let us know. We're in need of officers along with help on specific projects / events such as game nights, holiday bazaar and gifts for giving in December, talent show & ice cream social in the spring, club month, teacher appreciation breakfast in May, end of school year picnic, etc. Contact Jill Murphy, Donna Barr, Corinne Stridsberg or send a note into the office at school and one of us will contact you!

THANK YOU - to all those that placed orders from the Genevieve catalog and those who collected orders from also! The money raised it what enables the PTNA to match funds from the school for the wonderful arts enrichment activities that are both brought into our school and enable our students to attends events elsewhere - such as today when the 4th, 5th and 6th graders are going to the Barre Opera House to see Come Sing, Jimmy Jo based on the novel by local author Katherine Paterson. Note that Genevieve orders can still be made on-line. Thanks also to those who sent along receipts from their purchases at the recent Baked Beads jewelry sale!
