ECO TOMORROW!  There is a reminder note in your child's backpack and a reminder tag on his or her backpack.  I will always place the tags on your child's backpack the day before ECO and you can just leave them there- I will remove them in the morning.  I will probably not always send a reminder note!  Please make sure your child is prepared with appropriate clothing (we are out from 8:15- 10:30) and a snack and water bottle.

This morning kindergarteners had a wonderful opportunity to participate in a real vote.  Jen Peterson, Waitsfield's town clerk, graciously arranged for kindergarteners to vote on the dog tags that will be used  in the coming year.  She set up a voting booth and an official check list in the gym, and after explaining the process a bit to kindergarteners, including the importance of privacy, each child had the opportunity to vote on shape and color for the tags.  Following the vote, she took the children through the process of counting the votes and making sure the numbers match the number of people who voted.  The dog tags for the coming year will be orange dog bones!  Look for the new tags on any Waitsfield dogs you know.
