Special Society Meeting. Thursday, April 28, 2016, at 7:30 P.M. We will consider reports about the proposed school extension—its design, costs, and funding plan—together with information about the five-year outlook for our budget. The purpose of the meeting is to provide all relevant information and discuss any questions. Then, after some time to reflect and talk among ourselves about the questions involved, we will have a vote at the semi-annual meeting on May 19.
5th and 6th Grade Play: James and the Giant Peach. Wednesday, April 27, 11:45 A.M. and 7:00 P.M. Did you know that this story about a young English orphan boy who enters a gigantic, magical peach and has an adventure with seven magically-altered garden bugs was originally going to be about a giant cherry? In the end, Roald Dahl changed his plan because, he said, a peach is "prettier, bigger and squishier than a cherry.” Come enjoy the fun!
