On Wednesday we welcomed two students from NECI to participate in preparing, serving and eating lunch at Brewster-Pierce. We can't think of a better kitchen than Alison's to be mentored about a five star school lunch program. Thank you Alison, Ann and John for sharing your expertise with two NECI students. This is an example of connecting the wonderful work at BPMS to our local community.

Second Grade Writing!

Want to know what our second graders are doing during writing?
They're practicing how to create a good title for their narrative stories. 
Yesterday students were collaborating and making a list of possible titles.
We've learned that the best time to create a great title is after the story is written!
Stay tuned for some more sharing of our stories!

Thank you parents and all family members that attended conferences this week. 

Your support and contribution to your child's education is critical; we look forward to this time to discuss your child's progress.

Have a wonderful long weekend!

Today at BPMS, third and fourth graders learned about the Middlebury based, Vermont Snack Company YoLo! One of the Co-Founders, Peter, AKA one of the 'YoLo! guys', introduced students to the name, logo, operations, economics and best of all a SAMPLE bag of YoLo! This opportunity really proved that you can turn an idea into a business right here in Vermont. Hurry on out and grab your own bag of YoLo!...delicious!

What is the Red Moon?
A full lunar eclipse can make the moon look orange or red in color.

Take a moment to visit this NASA site to learn more about the term eclipse!

Thank you very much to all of the parents, grandparents and friends  that joined us for our Annual Hike Day!

We had an amazing time enjoying Vermont's autumn splendor, colorful foliage, warm sunshine, breathtaking views and mother nature.

With sincere appreciation to the entire Smith family for providing us with a wonderful experience from which we created a vivid memory.
