Dear Families,

Once again Gifts for Giving was a wonderful success! Parents, grandparents, former teachers and WES alumni all gathered to create a very satisfying day for the students. Thanks to Erin, Alison and Samantha for orchestrating it. Also, once again, thank you to Louise Bowdish, for the beautiful bags she made for each student.

Thanks as well to so many of you for the treats that magically appeared each morning this week in the staff room. Unbelievably generous and delicious! We definitely feel appreciated. Your kindness is deeply appreciated.

Lunch volunteers: We need sign-ups for Thursday and Friday, 1/2 and 1/3. If you can volunteer for either day, please email Christina cjohnston@acsdvt.org or sign up directly on the calendar. Please sign up for any other January dates you can volunteer as well. Thank you!

Have a wonderful holiday break and best wishes for a healthy new year.

Best, Christina

In the 2-3 Classroom, we have been testing ideas for simple, inexpensive water bottle holders attached to student desks. (We often have quiet, focused work sessions interrupted with the Clunk-Clankety-Clank of metal water bottles falling onto the floor.)

After collecting ideas all summer and testing a few prototypes, we have a design that seems to work pretty well-- an old icing container attached to the desk with velcro. (Thank you, Erica Castle, for suggesting the velcro!)

Now we need more icing containers!

If you ice a cake, please save your icing containers for us!

The 2-3 class thanks you!

Mel

Hi, from the Health Office!

Hope you all have a wonderful break

and have fun celebrating the holidays!

Once we return after break, please

keep in mind that any students

exhibiting these symptoms must stay

home:

● Fever <100.4°F

● Vomiting

● Diarrhea

● Flu-like symptoms

● A rash of unknown origin

● Any other symptoms or illness that

impede a student's ability to learn

Follow these helpful healthy tips during

break and I can't wait to see you all in

2025!

Best regards,
