Hey There Flynn Families - Thanks for tuning in to what's happening at Flynn school... Have a great week.
January Staff Appreciation was hosted by the 5th grade this past week. Parent volunteers went to school bright and early to clean the break room and re-stock favorite items like coffee, tea, fresh fruit and breakfast breads. Thank you to the parents that sent in money to buy restocking items and thank you to Lisa, Kate and Janet for cleaning.
Outdoor Learning Landscape Presentations The
two-year renovation at John J. Flynn School has transformed the building into a
wonderful teaching and learning environment with brightly lit, energy-efficient
spaces for all. Are you wondering what landscaping changes might be taking
place in the upcoming months?
Members
of the Outdoor Learning Committee here at Flynn have been working with faculty
and students from the Landscape Design Department at UVM to generate ideas for
our surrounding outdoor learning space. In fact, each student was charged with
creating a design focusing on different areas of the schoolyard as his/her
final project. Resulting drawings are
provocative and inspiring.
We
want to invite you to join us at school from 2-3:30 pm on Wednesday, January 29th
for a gallery walk (2-3:00) where those innovative and multi-faceted final
projects will be displayed followed by a brief presentation (3-3:30). There will also be an opportunity for those
attending to share perspectives and creative ideas. We welcome and encourage your input as we
move forward in this endeavor with community at its heart.
Looking forward to seeing you on the 29th!
P.S. If
you are unable to attend and would like to be involved please contact Karen
Carr (802)864-8478.
