Dear Parents,
Happy Memorial Day!
Some things coming up:
- This Thursday: Wear rain boots and long pants for our Four Winds Lesson, "Hunting for Frogs."
- This Friday: placement letters go out by mail: for my second graders-moving-on-to-being-3rd-graders.
- Weds. June 3rd: Part 2 Step-Up Day/Open House for current Part 2 students and also potential Part 2 -WCS 2015-2016 students. Here is a note from Alyx, the head of Part 2:
On June 3rd, WSD Part 2 is offering a Move Up Day for the incoming 3rd graders at Williston Central. Current second graders can preview Part 2 at WCS, meet the staff and experience the new program first hand. Participating students will check in at Part 2 in the Allen Brook cafeteria then take a bus to WCS Part 2 and will be picked up by their families at WCS. WSD Part 2 Move Up Day is free to non-Part 2 students. Families must fill out the form that I'm sending home and return to me by Friday May 29.
- Weds. June 3rd: the bookmobile is coming! My class will be touring it at 11:00 am.
- Friday, June 5th: end-of-year picnic at Maple Street Park in Essex Junction. 9:00 am to 1:30 pm.
- Monday June 8th: Fun Day
- Tuesday, June 16th: last day of school (half-day)
Note: I first incorrectly posted this date as Monday, June 15th.
- Target is giving away $$ to schools at 6:30 pm when parents write thank you notes. Seems like an easy way to get some extra funds. Ms. Schwartz forwarded it to me. I haven't had a chance to look at it.

- The 2nd -3rd grade Step up Night has been changed to June 8th, 6:30 pm at WCS.
- Check out this "Horizon Rock Star" video on YouTube: Deacon Bowen and Miranda Stewart recently won the "Rock Star for a Day" silent auction item that Mrs. Powers and I had put together. You will also see my daughter, Sadie, our session guitarist.

- Beware of a Friend Request that is circulating: see this note from our CSSU Tech administrator, Mike Kanfer.
Hi Everyone,
Many students and adults are receiving e-mail messages appearing to be from either students or adults within CSSU requesting that they accept a friend. The friend is often someone they know with a school address.
This likely is happening because someone clicked on a link initially and the contacts within that person's account were harvested. We have blocked the e-mail address from which they come- info@mysocialservice.net- on Tuesday evening at about 9:00 pm. No messages from that address should have been received after that time.
There is an "unsubscribe" link in the message- which rather than unsubscribing the e-mail address seems to collect contacts from the account. Needless to say don't click unsubscribe!
Students are discovering the message in their inbox and are wondering about it. All of the students I have communicated with received the message before Tuesday evening so they are just discovering the issue now and it has been resolved.
Please share this information with them.
Thanks,
Mike
- Adam Curtis won (in the Lucky U silent auction) a visit from our Williston-Schools mascot, Einstein!
- We'll be finishing our read-aloud, My Side of the Mountain this week. Shhhhh! It's a secret! I got some beef jerky and some salmon jerky I want to give the kids to eat as we read the last chapter.
Have a great week, everyone!
Mr. Bolger
