Just a reminder there is no school tomorrow, Friday, October 20th for an Inservice Day.

As a part of our Leader in Me and Responsive Classroom approach, we are focusing on our Hopes and Dreams for the year. When we begin with the end in mind our learning is more purposeful and productive. You can talk with your child about their goals for this year!

ABS has a Destination Imagination Challenge Team and is expanding to allow for students in grades 2-6. Our Challenges are open-ended, allowing teams to express themselves creatively and take full ownership of their solutions. Challenges are designed to teach the creative process—a system of learning that is at the root of innovation and a child’s ability to bring an idea to life.

If your child is interested in joining, please email Amanda Yates (ayates@wsesu.net). Our team will meet the first three Mondays of the month from 2:30-3:30pm.

-Amanda Yates, Cindy Parent, Julia Burakian

Haunted Halloween Walk - Friday, October 27th from 5-7pm at Ascutney Outdoors

- Parents and grade 6+ students are needed to help organize scare sites along the walking route for this event. Sign up to decorate and host a site on this Google Doc. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1miYWTAIDqBADPrMzitlsJNIxi8xKQZVFaJpZ99xoZ9Q/edit#gid=1834350877. This event is open to the public and a ton of fun, but does require a lot of volunteers! Site decoration ideas can be anything creative you come up with - circus clowns, Christmas theme, Zombies, mad science, etc. Reach out if you want to help!

Students who wish to dress up for Halloween and wear their costumes to school may choose to do so. We ask that no masks or weapons (and other distracting props) be brought to school.
