Dear PPS Families -
We have a busy week ahead!
Vermont Day: On Friday, we announced that students exceeded our expectations for the Walking Challenge by 340 miles,
walking the equivalent of three laps from the top to the bottom of the
state of Vermont! To celebrate this great accomplishment, Monday will
be Vermont Day at PPS. Students are encouraged to come to school
wearing something green for our Green Mountain State, something that
says "Vermont" on it, or wear something that has a connection to this
wonderful place we call home. Mr. Kriger is ironing his T-shirt from
his favorite sugar house even as I write this announcement. I will take
pictures and post them on our website.
District Art Show: The District Art Show
begins on Tuesday, May 3rd and runs through Friday, May 6th. Hours for
the art show are 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. all four days. There is a special
reception on Thursday, May 5th from 6:00 to 8:00 in the evening. See
the flier (click on this link: ) for more details.
Kindergarten Orientation: Just a reminder
that our Kindergarten Orientation for 2016-2017 is Thursday, May 5th
from 6:30 to 7:30 in the PPS cafeteria. Please spread the word to any
neighbors or friends in the district who have students entering
Kindergarten next year.
Mighty Makers - Project Tie-Dye: A flier
went home on Friday for the Mighty Makers T-shirt tie-dye event on
Friday afternoon, May 6th. Kindergarten families who are planning to
attend should be here at 1:30 p.m. with Grades 1 & 2 starting at
1:45 p.m. I've attached the flier with the RSVP form attached (click on
this link:
. If you didn't see this in your child's home-school folder on Friday,
please print it from this email and send it in by Thursday, May 5th.
Let us know if you're willing to help any children who have family
members who aren't able to attend.
That's all for now! Have a great weekend!
All the best,
Carolyn Millham, PPS Principal
