BABYSITTER’S TRAINING CLASS HELD BY AMERICAN
RED CROSS
The American Red Cross will hold a Babysitter’s Training Class on Saturday, Jan. 16, 2010 from 9a.m. – 3p.m. at the Red Cross office at 81 High Street in Brattleboro. Students 11-15 years old will get the knowledge, skills and confidence to care for infants and school-age children. The course will also teach you how to be a good role model, make decisions, solve problems, and keep children safe, how to handle emergencies such as injuries, illnesses and household accidents, and how to write resumes and interview for jobs. Call 802-254-2377 to sign up. The course fee is $45.00.
REMINDER TO STUDENTS – SNEAKERS NEEDED!!
We would like to remind students to bring sneakers to school so they don’t have to wear boots all day and to especially have them on Monday and Tuesdays on PE days. If students have an extra pair they leave at school – that’s even better!!
WINTER SPORTS PROGRAM READY TO GO
All students who signed up for ice skating will be able to go. We have 10 students who have signed up – using the new form. If you have not sent in the new form with plans for your child/children, you need to do so. Please be certain to send in the $20.00 needed to participate in that sport. Those who have not signed up for anything, nor said they are being picked up, need to let us know Monday, Jan. 4th what your plans are. The dates for the winter sports afternoons are: Jan. 7,14,21,28, Feb. 4 and 18. The busses will leave Dover School at noon to take students to the Hermitage to ice skate and to the Mountain for ski/boarding. If you plan to pick your child up after the event – at school, the Hermitage or the Mountain – please send a letter to school. You must let the person in charge of each event know when you actually take your child/children. We need to know where every child is at all times.
7TH GRADE INFORMATION NIGHT
Remember – on Wednesday evening January 6, 2010 from 6 – 7:30p.m., various schools will be at Dover School with their presentations so parents and students may have this information prior to choosing a middle school.
Have a
happy and healthy New Year!!
