Dear Parents & Friends,

SORRY, SORRY, and more SORRY

Many of your children had to sit on a hot bus for almost 25 minutes yesterday.  This was due to some unfortunate miscommunication within the SU.  Because of this, some of your children were on buses for almost an hour and fifteen minutes.  We apologize for both situations and will make sure that this not happen again.

Box Tops for Education -- Due October 23

If you've been collecting Box Tops for Education now's the time to drop them off!  Twice a year we have an opportunity to redeem the Box Tops and the fall redemption due date is coming up.  Last year Box Tops earned over $300.  The money goes directly to the Moretown PTN to support programs and activities for our children.  Drop off the Box Tops (trimmed ones are appreciated!) in the big pink collection box on the bench outside the Library

If clipping coupons is not your thing, Box Tops for Education has a couple of other ways you can support the school. Go to www.boxtops4education.com for more information. If you have any questions, contact Jennifer Tripp Mead,

MORETOWN YARD SALE

There will be a Moretown yard sale in the Town Hall on October 8th and 9th (the Sunday and Monday of Columbus Day weekend).  Call (see contact info below) to reserve a space and get rid of your stuff!  You must be present to sell your own stuff, but if you don’t live on a main road, you can’t beat the exposure and being in the Town Hall means the weather is not an issue.  All participants will share the cost of renting the space, the more people using it, the less the cost is!  Interested?  Call Sarah Nussbaum at 496-5677 for details.
