Official School News
Next Board Meeting: Mon, Jan. 17, 6:30 pm.
Please make sure your child has indoor shoes at the school. We are going to
put the eurythmy shoes, which many children are still using, away to save
them.
Torsti Rovainen's phone number is now 685-4724.
Thanks to our Professional Development Grant from the Supervisory Union we
were able to invite Georg Locher from England to come to our school for the
week of January 10. He is a renowned Waldorf veteran with a wealth of
knowledge and experience. He will be evaluating our teachers, work with the
faculty, and offer lectures and workshops for the parents. Please keep the
week of January 10 open, especially Saturday Jan. 15. Don't miss him! He is
very charismatic and a lot of fun!
Please sign up!
School and class photos are in. If you ordered some, please pick them up in
the office. They are $5 each. Thanks.
The Ski Program is starting this Friday. For those not participating, these
Fridays are considered home-schooling days. In separate email please find
important information regarding this year's program.
Please look this over and be sure contact information is correct. Classes
begin this Friday at 9:30 sharp. If you have any questions regarding the
program contact Jim Veneziano, carpooling contact Anne Carroll and chaperone
questions should go to Jamie Kidder.
Martin Luther King Day will be celebrated on Monday, January 17 with an all
school assembly at 2:00 in the Grange. Classes 3rd through 8th will be
presenting songs, poems and skits. The all school chorus will sing songs as
a finale. The school presentation will be preceded by a parent discussion at
1:30. The topic and copies of an article will be placed in the mail room.
Parents are welcomed and encouraged to attend both events.
Some parents have asked why we don't take the day off as a way to celebrate.
The faculty feels it is more educational to celebrate this festival in
school. Moreover, with four day weeks in January it is inadvisable to take
a second day off during these short weeks.
Tuition: Could those parents who said we would look at their pledges again
mid-year please call the office? Thank you!

New Campus Update
Our subcontractors (and a few volunteers) have been busy over the break
installing electrical, plumbing, sprinkler and communication systems. John
hopes to begin sheetrocking in mid-January.
Fundraisers and Special Events
We are looking forward to a prosperous fundraising year in 2011! With plans
to occupy our new school in the Fall, a lot of preparation will be done this
winter.
You all have received a copy of the "Wish List" of supplies for the new
school. The Construction Committee, Development Committee and Board of
Trustees are working together to accumulate those items in order to complete
the project on time. Any contribution you or any family or friend could make
to the "Wish List" would be appreciated!
Please look forward to some information about Parent Class Meetings that
will be held in January and February to outline and review giving and
volunteerism at the new campus.
The Development Committee, along with the Construction Committee are meeting
Wed, January 5 th at 6 pm at the Big House. We could use more members,
suggestions or any ideas you may have. Feel free to attend the meeting or
give whatever input that is important to you to Amy Rosalbo.
Thank you for all your giving and support to this project!
