Snow Day Routine Change:
This year we have changed our routine with regards to snow days and our day rotations (green/white and A/B/C). The change - reflected in the attached calendars (click here) is that when we have a snow day, we will SKIP the intended day and NOT PUSH it. In other words, the days are hard-scheduled for the year in advance.Late Bus Calendar:
The late bus schedule can be found here. Please note the bus will only run south this year.ATHLETICS:

Grace Cottage "Spring into Health" 5K set for May 11th:
On Mother’s Day Weekend, all are invited to the 10th Annual “Spring into Health” 5K to benefit Grace Cottage Hospital. The event takes place Saturday, May 11, starting at 8:30 am on the Townshend Common, rain or shine. Registration is now open. Students and their families are encouraged to attend.

Announcement for Auditions:
The Secret Garden
Main Street Arts is excited to announce auditions for our next musical at the Bellows Falls Opera House- "The Secret Garden"! The show performances will take place October 25th through November 3rd.
Auditions will be held:
May 17th from 6:30-9:30
May 18th from 1:00-3:30
May 19th from 3:00-5:30
Auditionees should bring a prepared song or part of a song. (At least 16 bars)
We will also have a movement section of auditions. Although "Secret Garden" is not a "dance show", our concept will likely integrate significant movement for the "dreamer" ensemble. This ensemble will be much larger than is typical, with total cast size being between 30 and 40. Those auditioning will also be asked to read from the text.
Below is a link to learn more about the show's plot and characters. More can be found through Samuel French or Wikipedia.
Additional information can be found here.
The roles of the children (ages typically around 10-12) may be played by children a little older.
More information will shortly be forthcoming and will be available on this website.
