OPEN BUS WINDOWS

As cold weather approaches, state guidelines for Covid bus safety are changing in order to keep our students safe and provide a level of comfort (Link to VT State Government Document). Students will continue to wear masks, have temperature checks, use hand sanitizer when not using gloves/mittens, and have assigned seating. Regarding proper ventilation, p.16 to 18 of the guidance (Link) includes that a MINIMUM of five windows (Driver, 2 front, 2 rear) should be opened all the way during cold weather. During inclement weather a minimum of 10 windows should be opened halfway, to reduce rain/snow from entering the bus. As always, students should dress accordingly to stay safe, warm, and dry.  Thank you for understanding that we are following all recommendations to keep everyone safe.

YEARBOOK COVER ART WANTED


Hello 8th Graders and other artists.  The yearbook committee is starting to put together the 2021 yearbook and we are asking for your help. A cover design for the yearbook is needed by Friday, November 10th. If you have creative ideas and original artwork to share with us, then let us know right away. We want the blue and white school colors to be used for the artwork. The back cover should also use the school colors. There should be room on the front cover somewhere for a title and date, and on the back there should be room for a quote. 


We welcome inspiring quotes even if you don’t want to submit artwork.


These are cover samples from recent yearbooks. Your submission may look completely different.


Thank you for the help and if you have any questions, or are looking to submit cover art or a quote, then please contact Molly Clark at mlclark@maplerun.org or Mr. Craib at mcraib@maplerun.org
