Hello ABS Families and Community,

This is a friendly reminder that Friday, February 6th will be an early release day.

We are also excited to be hosting several special events that day:

• Lunch with a Loved One 11-12 come share a meal with someone special

• Opening Day of Winter Olympics

It will be a fun and busy day for our students, and we look forward to sharing these activities with our school community.

Thank you for your continued support, and please reach out if you have any questions.

Third - sixth graders have begun a digital literacy unit. So far we’ve learned about AI, digital footprints, online privacy, cyberbullying, and stereotypes we might encounter in games and apps. Later this winter, fifth and sixth graders will demonstrate their learning through development of their own digital literacy websites.

First and second graders have worked hard to learn how we organize things in the library, and how to find the books they want by searching our online catalog. Ask them to show you how at: https://abs.goalexandria.com/search

Kindergarten has been learning about seasons through picture and nonfiction books, and following up with themed coloring or drawing activities.

We have been busy planning for Summer 2026 at Brownsville Base Camp. Registration for all programs opens February 1st at 8am.

We are continuing with our popular Explorer camp with 5 weekly sessions, and we are expanding our Adventurer program to 4 weeks this summer.

In addition, we are opening up our Counselor in Training (CIT) program for past campers interested in developing their leadership skills.

Contact BrownsvilleBaseCampVT@gmail.com with any questions.

This is a friendly reminder that after skiing at AO, students will return to school on the bus for regular dismissal. For safety and consistency, there will be no pickups at the mountain.

Winter wear is needed for all students to participate in outdoor play and learning. While they are still developing their organized planful thinking, please help your children remember snow shoes, pants, gloves and hat! If you are in need of protective winter clothing, please reach out to us!

Contribute to improved communication to enhance understanding of the school's budget and financial condition. The committee will meet four times this year to help prepare the budget for our town meeting in March.
