SCHOOL INFO


January 7, 2022


Dear L&G Families:


New years bring new opportunities - and a bunch of resolutions!  We hope that this year, and the rest of this school year is successful!


Upcoming Dates:

Wednesdays - Jan 12, Jan 19, Jan 26 - Winter Activities Days!

Monday, Jan 17th - MLK Jr Day - No School

Friday, Jan 21 - Summative Make Up Day

Monday, Jan 24 - Tuesday, Jan 25 - Teacher Inservice Days - No School 

Wednesday, Jan 26 - First Day of Semester Two


Vaccination Clinics:

Please see the Vermont Department of Health website for opportunities for your 5-11 year old children to access a vaccination.  We strive to get to a place where once the state announces we can go mask-free (after achieving 80%) that we can celebrate that freedom knowing that our children are protected by several mitigation measures.  There may be one coming to L&G in the near future - stay tuned for information!


Additionally, please know that the Vermont Agency of Education has offered an incentive program to schools that meet the vaccination goals, with financial “gifts” to schools based on population.  L&G stands to get several thousand dollars if our student vaccination rate can get above 85%!


Thanks for your continued support of our staff and our programming - we certainly love having your children here, and wish you all a great vacation!!


Bob Thibault

Principal

EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY:


Summer Seasonal Positions with Ball Mountain/Townshend Lakes:

Ball Mountain and Townshend Lakes are hiring seasonal rangers/laborers for the 2022 recreation season! I have attached the application links below.

 

There is a higher education requirement for the ranger position but some students may qualify if they have specialized experience. This is outlined in the qualifications section. The laborer position doesn’t have many qualifications, just being able and willing to work outside. However, you have to be at least 18 years old to be employed. We have had several senior students work for us over the years and it has always been a great experience for everybody. If you could distribute this to anyone you think would qualify, that would be amazing! Let me know if anyone has any questions, the application can be a bit tricky.
