Frankenstein and Friends.... So things are getting going for Frankenstein. Don Wright met with students last week to introduce the play. Permission slips went home for grades 4/5 and must be returned in order for your child to audition. Auditions will be held during the Inquiry Fair, Jan 23 & 24, 8:45-11am. We will need 2 parent volunteers each of those days and Very Merry Theatre will provide a staff member. Is your child planning to be in the play? Do you have some daytime flexibility and can come in to help on one or both of those mornings?
Frankenstein is loosely based on Mary Shelley's book of the same name. In this VMT production, Dr. Frankenstein and friends create a monster. In the meantime, a local developer, Mr. Craven, is wooing Dr. Frankenstein's daughter in hopes of someday taking over the castle and turning it into a resort. Mr. Craven gets wind about the monster and plots to ruin Dr. Frankenstein by baiting the monster. Wackiness ensues followed by the creation of a 2nd monster (Bride of Frankenstein). Enter angry mobs, more goofy jokes and a heartwarming twist at the end. Prepared to be wowed by another Don Wright adaptation!
Costumes are in the planning stages. We will have loads of monsters - many that you might already have pieces for at home from past Halloween costumes... Looking for:
Capes/other goodies for vampires
Dementor costume
Cookie Monster costume
2 white labcoats
tophat, tuxlike jacket
White gown for bride of Frankenstein
Godzilla costume
wookie costume
zombie clothes...
We are looking to beg, borrow and steal as much as we can to keep costs down on the production end as well as for the families. Take a look through your Halloween goodies to see what you might be able to lend - Thanks!

Partnership Embarks on Innovation Tour in NYC January 7th, 2013 
Yesterday,
a group of 30 individuals from Burlington and Winooski embarked on a
learning journey to New York City. The group includes students, parents,
teachers, administrators, and community members from both cities. This
trip was organized by the Partnership for Change's Proficiency Based
Learning Fellow, Sarah Bertucci, in collaboration with IDEA.
In
NYC, the group will be visiting schools and community organizations
that have done exceptional work in proficiency-based learning and
serving their diverse student bodies, particularly ELL students. Schools
visited will be from the Internationals Network and the New York Performance Standards Consortium, among others. See the full itinerary here.
This
group will learn a lot from the site visits, but the real power of the
tour lies in the learning community that will be created and the
information that will be brought back and shared with Winooski and
Burlington. For our schools and communities to have their best future,
we need to learn, grow, and work together as a diverse group from many
backgrounds, playing many different roles.
Please follow their journey by watching the NYC Tour blog where they will post reflections, video, and information about their Twitter feed (@partnershipvt, #p4cnyctour).
