RECESS WEATHER It will be windy, but worthwhile going outside if you dress warmly. The sledding hill is packed down and conditions are fast.  Please be careful of each other when snow tubing.  Try to walk up the sides so you won't be hit by other sledders. Remember to keep the tubes and snowshoes off the sidewalks and dirt.  Thank you.

BAND Jazz Band is rehearsing this afternoon. Kaylie and Igz are reminded to check in with Mr. Mehaffey for make up lessons time. Jacob Spooner is also reminded about his lesson this morning at 8:30.

Wear sports clothing (jersey, team hat/shirt, Raider’s gear, etc.), receive a raffle ticket for a prize drawing. Fun activities to look forward to: basketball toss, musical chairs, and more! Arrival and Dismissal from Dances: Students enter through the gymnasium doors and sign themselves into the dance. School Expectations (Safe, Achieving, Caring) remain at all evening events and that includes dances. At the end of our dances, chaperones and staff will walk students through the building to our front lobby. We will dismiss from there. Please be prompt for pick up as staff and chaperones need to get home, too. If your student does not have a ride home, please don’t send them to our dances unless they have made arrangements before coming to the dance.

YEAR BOOK Looking for pictures of this year's 8th grade students in their younger years (kindergarten and up). If you have any, please send them to award@fcsuvt.org and they will be considered for the 8th grade memory book.

PICTURES AND REPORTS INCREDIBLES The Incredibles continued their tradition of the Lip Sync Battle. 6th Grade students worked and collaborated together to produce their Lip Sync and the 4th and 5th Grade students voted on their top three choices. After votes were tallied, the top six acts moved on to the final round. A lot of time an effort went in to this project. We hope you get a little laugh from it and it brightens your day. 20 Minutes long LINK TO VIDEO INVESTIGATORS The Investigators are enjoying learning about how Earth changes can occur slowly and rapidly using a Stream Table. This experience has generated many ideas and predictions based on observations and trials. The team owes thanks to BFA and Jeff Rouleau for sharing his toys! DISCOVERY Discovery students used linear equations to compare the cost of three separate field trips. They successfully worked in cooperative groups solving and graphing their findings. DREAMERS The Dreamers visited Branon's Sugar House on 3-22-2017.  Pictures submitted by Mrs. Williams.
