We had an awesome afternoon of snow, ski racing, smiles and, well, noise. The whole school was released early from last period to go out and cheer on the skiers. With more than 200 cow bells ringing for our athletes, we could be heard from nearly a mile away. The event showcased our seniors and featured fun costumes, fresh pizza from the PA Bread oven, music, baked goods, and other giveaways. (More photos and results can be found on our athletic site linked below.)

Winter Carnival is FRIDAY! If you haven't already, please complete the permission form for your student to attend their chosen activity. We thank you for completing this information prior to next Thursday.

If your student has not yet reserved a copy, they should do so now by making a down payment or paying in full with Michele in the Main Office. Please note that only the number of yearbooks reserved will be ordered, so it is essential to reserve your copy by April 1st. The total cost of the yearbook is $62.

Lucky for us and Averill, she is one of them!! Congratulations to Averill who earlier this week was awarded a Rowland Fellowship for next year. This is an awesome recognition and well deserved opportunity!

Averill’s Rowland Fellowship proposal focuses on enhancing school culture and community climate in Morrisville by evolving our current art program into a more inclusive, multi-media public art initiative. Leveraging 15 years of local teaching experience, Averill aims to move beyond traditional murals to incorporate sculpture, graphic design, paste paper murals, videography and more, to celebrate often-overlooked student groups and programs. By using the fellowship to master new mediums and collaborative design strategies, Averill intends to build a robust framework where students, staff, and community stakeholders work as equal partners in the creative process, fostering a deeper sense of shared identity and belonging across the district, county and eventually beyond.

Ballots have been mailed for the upcoming Town Meeting Day vote. In addition, all registered voters will receive a one-page information sheet from our district that details the proposed budget. This responsible plan includes some reduction to staffing, is below the state average in spending and adds only a small increase to property taxes. The governor has also signaled he plans to buy down the tax rate. As you may know, two years ago our budget failed by only 22 votes in the first round. Please spread the word and get out and vote. There is also detailed information on the Lamoille South website for those who want to review the prior presentations and financial worksheets.

During French class last week Mr. Carr took his students on a field trip to Bridge Street Bakery. There they discussed traditional bread starters and bread production.

It's an original resource and REFERRAL tool for basic needs like housing, food, utilities, and transportation. The emphasis is on referrals, because not only can you find information about hundreds of organizations on the side, you can also refer yourself or others and make a direct connection with those organizations.

The site is free to use and has information about local (e.g. neighborhood food shelf), state (e.g. Department of Health), and ational (e.g. Veterans Affairs) resources. It can also be translated into over 100 different languages.
