We have been informed by the VT AOE that the program in which we are currently running which is feeding all students breakfast and lunch for free through the USDA has been extended.

We will be able to offer free breakfast and lunch to all our students this entire 2020-2021 school year.

We encourage families to use this opportunity to clear up any and all back balances, put some money on accounts, or set up accounts at mymealtime.com so you are able to start next year fresh and worry free...when it comes to the Hot Lunch bill that is.

I also encourage all families to fill out our free and reduced meal applications. These applications have so many benefits for our entire school and after-school One Planet Program. We are able to apply for grants and funding we wouldn’t otherwise be able to apply for. These grants benefit all students and the community with our farm to school, fresh fruit and veggie program, One Planet.

If you haven’t already done so please fill out and send in these confidential forms. You can either email me directly at ghewes@wrvsu.org, or you can find the application on the website.

Next newsletter we will be including another delicious recipe so stay tuned!

We're taking great advantage of our ability to be outdoors in such perfect weather. Many of our activities have revolved around relishing the natural world. We've done color and nature scavenger hunts, created mobiles with natural objects, produced art from birch bark, built nests, and designed leaf collages. We've learned about animals that use camouflage and then replicated it in artwork. In a game of charades the children acted out their favorite local animals. Check out some photos!

Hello Folks! It's time for the Passport for Winter Fun! Since this year we will be doing things differently due to COVID reasons, we are informing families about the Passport program via this link. Please peruse the information, decide if your student is interested in doing this, and send me an email letting me know so I can arrange for them to get the passport they need to document their activities in. I will need to know of their participation in the program by the end of November.

The Health HUB Flu clinic is being held at 9:30 AM on Wednesday, October 21. For all the folks who sent in their consent forms, there is a flu shot awaiting you!

For those who have not had a flu shot, please consider getting one in the near future. This prevention is most important during COVID-19 times. Having the flu impact your health alongside COVID19 potential is not advisable.
