Windham Elementary School Newsletter
October 18, 2019 Habits of Mind: “Safe, Responsible, Respectful, Ready to Learn” Thank you to ALL the amazing parent/family & community volunteers that made this years Green Mountain Orchards trip such an amazing time for our students. Our gracious hosts at Green Mountain Orchards allowed each of our students to pick a bag of apples, press apples to make cider, have a cider donut with a cup of cider as a treat and then finish the day with a hay ride. Please remember to pack your students sneakers on Tues/Thurs for Physical Education in their backpacks. With Tues/Thurs also being farm day’s, students are arriving with their boots on, but sneakers are being forgotten at home. Our breakfast pantry is becoming sparse once again, the following items would be welcomed if you were out and about these next few days and could add to our pantry shelves! Mini bagels Brown Sugar Yogurt Butter Syrup Jam American Cheese Juice Half & Half
The West River Community Project is holding its annual Harvest Festival behind the West Townshend Country Store on Sunday, October 20th. There will be cider pressing, kid’s activities, a potluck and a pig roast! The event goes from 12-4:00 PM. The Windham Ukulele Players have been invited to play at the event around 1:45 PM. Halloween party at Windham Fire House will be on October 25th at 5:00. Since judging is promptly at 6:00 it is important to be there early. Many times some great costumes do not get a prize because kids arrived late. There will be lots of yummy food that will include: Hot dogs, chili, cornbread and baked goodies. Prizes. Hayride (weather permitting), donut eating for a prize, musical chairs etc... goodie bags for everyone. So get your costumes ready.
