Hello all and happy Thursday! This week has flown by! Thanks for sending your kids ready to bundle up as needed (Of course there are a few insisting that even in shorts they aren't cold...if that is your kiddo, don't worry, they let us know if they actually need more clothing!)
Tomorrow is Spinny Wheel and Fresh Food Market!
FROM IRCO-
Good afternoon!
Next Tuesday evening, I am hosting a weatherization workshop between the hours of 5:15pm to 6:30pm at Vestal!
FROM PTA-
Brrrrrr!!! What better way to handle this chilly weather is there than to snuggle up with a good book or movie? Well, Vestal PTA has you covered! Every day after school next week the Scholastic Book Fair will be open in the library (and also online 24 hours a day!) , and we’ll finish up the week with some extended hours on Friday evening (5:30-6:30pm) leading right into our December movie night! The Book Fair will have awesome titles for every interest and reading level, and some fun accessories as well.
Kids will be voting at Monday’s Town Hall between some very seasonally appropriate movies, and we’ll be showing their choice on Friday the 13th at 6:30pm in the auditorium. As always, entrance and popcorn are free, some snacks and beverages will be for sale, and adult supervision is required. Also, this year we’ve made a quiet room available for families who need a more chill movie-going experience.
Hope to see you next week!
If you’re ever lucky enough to tag along with Tom Myers and his bird club at Skyline School, you’ll most likely notice a few things: that Skyline in the early morning can be a breathtakingly beautiful place, and that if you have a question about birds – or the natural world in general – the man his students call “Teacher Tom” can almost certainly answer it.
½ûÂþÌìÌà is hosting a series of events that focus on Belonging, Equity & Inclusive Practices where we will screen powerful, award-winning documentaries aimed at starting a productive conversation about what is possible in the systems we create for our children with disabilities.
As part of this series, we are excited to welcome you to a live virtual event, , on Monday, October 28 at 5:30 PM at . The event will include a screening of Dan Habib’s film, “Including Samuel,” and a conversation with him and his son, Samuel.
The Dr. Matthew Prophet Education Center, the rather staid home to ½ûÂþÌìÌà administrative staff, had a very different look on Monday evening when it hosted the world premiere of “The Return of Emergetron.”
The red carpet event was in celebration of a new film starring students – and for students – about the many emergency scenarios they might encounter in a typical school year.
½ûÂþÌìÌÃ’ Comprehensive School Psychology program was recently named the recipient of a prestigious $5.5 million grant from the U.S. Department of Education for its proven track record of improving student well-being and academic performance.
The renewable, school-based mental health grant will be used to provide comprehensive school psychology services to 18 Title I schools across the district for the 2024-25 school year. This is up from 11 schools served in the previous year. Through the duration of the grant, 25 schools designated as Title I at the time of the grant award will receive comprehensive school psychology services.
