The History of L&G Presentation


SCHOOL INFO


September 9, 2022


Dear L&G Families:


Week two is in the books, and we’re all settling into a groove.  Drama auditions are complete, sporting events have started up, and classes are moving along!  


Winter Activities - It’s never too soon to start thinking about January!  If your child will likely be interested in skiing or snowboarding at Stratton as their choice (there will be 10 or so other options, including free ones at the school), you should know that they will need to have their own lift pass for those days.  The best way to get a pass - a full season’s pass -  is to participate in the RTU program.  This involves registering on their website, paying their reduced fee for the pass, and attend a series of educational events, beginning on September 15th.  Please email kmeyer@windhamcentral.org with any questions!


Forms - Please remember to return completed forms that were sent home in early August, including:

  • Health questionnaire

  • Updated demographic information

  • Free/Reduced lunch - please - even if you know you don’t qualify, please submit as every student’s form is needed in order to maintain free breakfast and lunch for ALL students!



Have a great and restful long weekend,


Bob Thibault

Principal
