All-School Clean up day! - Saturday, May 9th
WORK DAY REMINDER
Work day at The Grammar School is this Saturday, May 9th, from 9-noon with a BBQ to follow.
Hot dogs, hamburgers, veggie burgers, chips and beverage will be provided.
There will be tasks for everyone, young and old, rain or shine which will include gardening, raking, transplanting, pruning and mulching. We have some painting as well. There are plenty of jobs for those who are comfortable with chain sawing and weed whacking.
We will be raking and mulching the gardens, dressing up the front stairs, cutting and removing brush as well as staining picnic tables. We need a small crew to snip and remove some old barbed wire from the woods. If you would like to be on that crew please bring sturdy wire snips and gloves. William Chambers will lead that group.
Please bring rakes, shovels, gardening tools, painting clothes, chain saws and weed wackers. A small wheelbarrow is also helpful.
.Make sure you clearly mark your tools so we can return any that may be left behind.
This is a fun and productive morning with results we can all take pride in. Thank you in advance and remember, many hands makes light work.

NEW TGS TRIFOLD BROCHURES - are here. We are in the process of spreading the Grammar School "word" and we really need everyone's help! If every family took 6 brochures and placed them in a "special" place we would be out in the community in about 80 different locations!!! This would be very exciting. Please consider picking up a 1/2 dozen or so from my office OR I would be happy to send them home in your child's backpack. We are looking to be displayed in doctor's offices, recreational facilities, places of business, preschool/daycare and any other sites you might think of where clients might pick them up. JUST PICK ONE PLACE. We have always told you that you are our best marketers and this definitely continues to be the case. Thank you in advance for helping with this project! Marcia
Come one, Come all! Strolling of the Heifers Committee Asks Everyone to "Save the Date" A few cow-minded individuals have gotten together to plan for this year's Strolling of the Heifers parade in downtown Brattleboro. We are asking that families in all grades save the date of June 6th for participation in the parade. Come show your support for TGS! We will make cool cow t-shirts to wear and plan to march with giant marionettes (dressed for the occasion, of cow-rse). We need students (and parents) young and old! We are also looking for someone to volunteer some sort of hay wagon (no motors) for the little ones to ride on if they tire out. More people are also needed to plan and/or help with resources. If you are willing to help and/or if you plan to march with us, please contact Ray Hutchins (parent of Lyle in K) or Darcy Gibney, Kindergarten teacher!
