Dear Parents & Friends,

Preschool Screening

Please help us locate all young children living in Moretown! Do you have neighbors with small children? The Moretown School would like to know about all young children ages birth through five living in Moretown for future program planning. Please ask parents to call the Moretown School.

The Moretown Elementary School will be holding play-based screening for young children who will be three years old by September 1, 2008. The screening will take place on Wednesday, January 30th and Thursday, January 31st. Please register for an appointment by calling Pam Kathan, Administrative Assistant, at 496-3742. Please call by Friday, January 25th.

Applications for the 2008-2009 preschool classes will be available at screening

Shaws' receipts

Nathan Russell and Nathanael Kuzio are collecting Shaws’ receipts for the benefit of the Central Vermont Humane Society (CVHS). If you have receipts please put them in the office window. There will be a house shaped box there. Thank you.

From the music department

Mark your calendars! The Winter Concert is on January 31st. at 6:30. Prepare your ears for thunderous tire drums, singing, dancing, and renaissance recorder. Students who are not in band should arrive no later than 6:15 and go straight to their seats in the gym. Band students need to have their instruments out, ready for tuning at 6:15 in the music room. Students are encouraged to wear dark bottoms and colorful tops that allow for freedom of movement. If your child will not be able to participate, please send me a written note. I hope to see you there.

Sincerely,

Michael Close
