Updated Important Dates

EMES Food Drive~February 6-17

We'll be collecting food items for the local East Montpelier/Calais Food Shelf.  If you can, we'd love you to help our class make a great contribution.  Canned and boxed food is welcome.  Items such as:  peanut butter, tuna, soups, pasta, etc. are greatly appreciated.

Friday, February 10th and Friday, February 24th:  E.C.O. from 9:05 to 11:10  (Please note that these dates have changed from Tuesdays to Fridays for the month of February.)

Tuesdays, February 7th, 14th, and 21st: Winter Wellness afternoons

All students will be participating in our EMES Winter Wellness Tuesdays.  These afternoons begin at 12:45 and last until the end of the school day.  It's important for students to remember any and all gear they need to make the most out of his/her chosen activity.  At the end of each Wellness Tuesday, students will be dismissed by their Wellness leaders, so we won't see all of the kids at the end of the day, therefore "go home" plans for Tuesdays are especially important.  

Tuesday, February 14th:  Valentine's Day Friendship Celebration

Wednesday, February 15th:  I Love East Montpelier Lunch
