School Happenings:

 

Bowling for Kids Sake was Saturday, April 5th at the Brattleboro Bowl.  The Dummerston Bowling Team raised over $500.00 towards the Big Brother/Big Sisters’ Program.  We’d like to thank our sponsors and recognize Mary Goodemote for her bowling prowess. 

 

I’m pleased to report that Dummerston School met its Annual Yearly Progress in both Reading and Math this year.

 

Last week the state met with us to evaluate our Food Service Program.  They were very complimentary about our program.  I’ve enclosed copies of our self assessment and targeted goals for the program.  The state will send a detailed evaluation that I will share with you when it arrives.

 

I’ve also enclosed two summaries from Grade 3 about their recent field trips to Horton Hears a Who at the Kipling Theatre (March 18th) and with Grade 5 to the Boston Museum of Science on April 9th.
