Hey There Flynn Families - Fall is finally upon us. Bundle up your muchkins and hunker down - it won't be long before the heat kicks on.... Ahhh, October in Vermont! As you clean out and arrange Fall outerwear, keep the PTO in mind. We will setting up our yearly outerwear swap for Flynn families - coats, boots, mittens, hats and fleeces in good condition and washed will be accepted. We'll let you know, but in the meantime we appreciate any items you could set aside. Have a great week! Kate

Here is what some Flynn parents had to say...
"We have soccer at Leddy Tuesday night- I pick it up before practice and have a picnic dinner on the sidelines!"
"My wife picks it up on her way home from work- it is so nice to know in advance that I don't have to cook that night"
"I wish every Tuesday was PTO Pizza Night!"
"School Lunch for Dinner"...and a Movie! Burlington's celebration of local foods and local farms.
Burlington High School

What are kids eating in the cafeteria these days? Experience school lunch Burlington-style and pamper your pallet with an array of delicious local school food items. After dinner join us for a screening of What's on Your Plate?, a fresh and funny documentary about two 11-year-old girls as they explore where their food comes from. Dinner and the movie are free and we will be gratefully accepting a $5-10 donation to the Burlington School Food Project at the door.
NECAPs start on October 2nd and there will be 8 testing days. The best way you can help your child be in top tip shape is to make sure they are getting plenty of rest, some down time and good, fresh food! Be sure to ask them how the tests are going and assure them that you recognize the great effort of testing!
