THE CUBE TUBE IS FULL!

We are excited about the fact that the students have filled the Cube Tube!  Cubes are handed out to students as recognition for positive behavior that is respectful, safe and responsible. We filled it once already this year.  Since the last time, we've had mini-goals along the way for small celebrations, including Cake and Cocoa, Camo Day, etc.  For our big celebration this time, we'll be treated to a concert on April 11th in the afternoon by A2VT; this is from their website. "Three young guys from Africa. When war broke out in our home countries, we were forced to leave. Eventually we arrived in Vermont, where we now live. Now that we are here, we want to show people what we can do. We write songs. We sing. We rap. We dance. We have recorded our first album, “Africa, Vermont” with grant funding from the Vermont Community Foundation. We think you will like what you hear!"  In addition to the concert, A2VT will visit with our 6th graders as they are currently studying Africa!

April 1st Parent Night - Focus Substance Abuse

Please join us at the Second Annual World CafĂ© which will be held at the Stoweflake on April 1st from 7:00 - 9:00pm.  The focus of this event will be exploring substance use and abuse in our adolescents. Middle and High School Parents are encouraged to attend.

This event is sponsored by the Stowe High School Parent/Student/Teacher Team and is open to the Morrisville parents and surrounding communities.  

Skip Gates will begin the evening and will be followed by table discussions. Skip Gates's son, Will, died from a heroin overdose in 2009.  Skip is spending time now touring to educate as many people as possible of the harm in not only the drug, but how we are dealing with the problem in society.
