WALPOLE VILLAGE SCHOOL HAPPENINGS

REMINDERS FOR UPCOMING EVENTS

Childfind Screening

May 13^th

By Appointment

            Any child age 2½ through 4 years (not attending kindergarten in the fall) and who lives in the Fall Mountain School District is welcome to attend this free developmental screening.  The screening will be held at the Early Learning Center, which is located on the grounds of the Fall Mountain Regional High School.

            Children will be screened in the areas of communication, motor and early academic skills.  There are three possible outcomes to this confidential testing: satisfactory, re-screen in six to twelve months, or refer for more thorough testing.

            Parents can use this time and opportunity to ask questions about normal growth and development of their child.  By identifying children with special needs early, intervention may help them to develop to their fullest potential.

            For an appointment and further information, please call 835-6314 or email tvittum@sau60.org.  If you reach the answering machine, please leave your phone number and someone will get back to you to make an appointment.

Spring Concert

May 13^th

6:00 PM

            I’m sure you remember that the concert is at 6:00 PM May 13^th at the Walpole Town Hall.  Students who attend the MWF AM class should be there at 5:45 so they can be lined up and ready to go on time. 

Plant and Food Sale

May 16^th

9:00-12:00

We have potted a lot of plants and they are looking great.  Bethany, Jody, Stacie, Heather, and Carolyn have been digging in the gardens of some very generous people – most that don’t even have children in our school.  Angela, Jody, Justin, Stacie and I have been putting those plants in pots so they can get “acclimated” and look their healthy best on the 16^th.

There will be a raffle and large plant pots for sale as well as the food and plants.  Be sure and advise people to come early for the best selection.  By the way, those who help get a chance to do an early bird selection so if you would like to lend a hand a get to choose early it’s not too late.

We will be sorting and pricing the plants at Lil’s house on Thursday, 5/14 and will be moving them all down to school on the 15^th.  As you can imagine, the more hands we have for this the happier everyone will be!

Auction

June 6th

        Donations are starting to come in but Bethany and Justin are starting to worry.  If you have something you’d like to donate, they’d sleep better if you would let them know.   They work so hard on this and it has always been a major fund raiser.

In addition to a great time to get some bargains, it is a great time for some good food.  Kelley and Stacie are having a meeting @ 6:00 on May 19^th to start drawing up the menu and dividing up the tasks.  They’d love to see you there if you can help out.  I remember that this was the first event I attended after I had agreed to become a board member and I was pretty intimidated by organization and the wonderful food.  I was most relieved when I learned that cooking wasn’t a prerequisite for being a board member!

Registrations

            Registrations are coming in for Summer Camp 2009 and the 2009-2010 school year.  It is great to see the all the paperwork being done in such a timely manner.   Thanks to all.
