Education Funding in VT

Have you ever wondered how education funding works in Vermont?  You’ll have a chance to find out on November 15th at Community Discussion: Basics of VT Education Funding.  This is a free event, but you need to register at the link provided.

The details of education funding in Vermont will be presented in a non-partisan, informational manner. This event is NOT about advocacy or the specifics of the Burlington School District budget.

In Search of Some Toys

Hello CP Smith families…

We’ve had a request to try and round up some gently used toys for ages 5-7.  Interactive toys like legos, board games, card games / decks of cards, little cars, books, puzzles…things like that.  Only safe toys please, no weapons!  If you have any you’d like to donate you can leave them at the front desk and tag them for Christine Armstrong.

Thank you!
