Halloween - this Thursday at 1:30 pm at the Grange. Tasteful comfortable

Georg Locher from England will be coming to our school next January for a
whole week. He is a Waldorf graduate, taught at Michael Hall Rudolf Steiner
School for 25 years, directed Steiner Waldorf Teacher Education at Emerson
College for 14 years, and works for Antioch advising schools and evaluating
teachers. He has tremendous wealth of knowledge, experience, and talent. We
will ask him to give a talk to parents as well. Look for more info later in
the year.
Thanks for everyone who made our first Parent Council meeting. We made 20
pocket man items for the Holiday Fair and talked a little about simplifying
our lives (and other recommendations from Kim Payne's new book). There are
a few more copies of his book on reserve in the Chelsea Library if anyone is
interested - it is remarkable! The next Parent Council meeting is planned
for Monday, November 15th (after drop off in the library), we will wrap
pocket man items and talk about simplicity and the holidays.
School and Class Photos: last chance for orders: end of this week. $5

My mother-in-law is moving here to the Upper Valley from North Carolina to
be near her family. This Southern belle needs a small apartment/house to
live in - one bedroom would work fine-between $400-600 per month. She has a
cat with very good manners. The closest to Thetford the better. If you
have any place in mind that you could refer us to, that would be
appreciated. Thank you so much. Megan O'Dell 802.785.4223 or
