Weathersfield Weekly

SATURDAY, MARCH 22nd AT 7:00 P.M. (Snow date will be March 23th)

The Weathersfield Proctor Library will have their 11th ANNUAL TOWN CHALLENGE. Local organizations are invited to participate, and we certainly hope you’ll join in the fun. The trivia topics will cover Weathersfield History, Geography, Spelling, Current Events/Sports, Literature and Music.

As you know, in addition to this being an exciting event for the whole community, it is a fundraiser for the Weathersfield Proctor Library. We are hopeful the businesses within our community will join in with donations for this much-anticipated event.

Of course, we also encourage each team member to collect additional support (family members, neighbors and/or friends), and there will be a prize for the team that raises the most money. A few years ago, we also offered door prizes (local products) to members of our audience and will again this year. And don’t forget the coveted prize for the team that displays the most TEAM SPIRIT!

Weathersfield School is looking to put together a student team with students in grades 7 & 8. Please let us (debrichardson8097@gmail.com) know by February 3rd if your organization plans to participate. Please provide your team captain’s name and email address, and Deb Richardson will then follow up to provide you with more information. Each team may have three members, plus an alternate.

We are excited to inform you that all 6th-12th grade students in the Windsor Southeast Supervisory Union will be attending a field trip to Windsor High School on Monday, February 3, 2025 to hear spoken word artist Rajnii Eddins speak on the theme "The Value of Our Stories." We believe this field trip will be a valuable experience for our students to better understand and appreciate the diverse stories that make up our community. Since this field trip is within the WSESU, we only ask families to notify the office if your child will not be attending this event. If your child does not attend, they will have an alternate learning experience at Weathersfield School.

Since 1993, the Health Department and the Agency of Education have sponsored the Vermont Youth Risk Behavior Survey (YRBS). The YRBS was developed to monitor priority health risk behaviors that contribute to the leading causes of death, disease, injury and social problems among youth. The data collected is never student specific but instead data from the whole district is compiled. This data is then shared back with leaders in the district and used to help inform interventions, school counseling lessons, and more.

Please make sure that students bring mittens, boots, hats, snow pants or whatever they need to keep warm outside. PE will be participating in snow shoeing and cross country skiing.

During the week of February 10th-14th you have the opportunity to select one of the days and have lunch with your loved one. We have made it flexible for families to select any day of the week to enjoy lunch. The Lunch schedule is as follows:

Grades 3-5 10:50 AM -11:20 AM

Grades K-2 11:30 AM -12:00 PM

Grades 6-8 12:10 PM - 12:40 PM

Mark your calendars now.
