What a wonderful Family Friday this morning. Families participated in a morning meeting and Leader in Me lesson. Thanks for joining us!

Huge shout out to the Family & community team from NCSS for presenting at our Family Resource Friday this morning. If you missed it we will be sharing their presentation so families can access.

Subject: Join a focus group on school attendance! $90 gift card incentive The Vermont Child Health Improvement Program at the University of Vermont is partnering with schools and health care providers across Vermont to support school attendance and youth wellbeing. To inform that work, we want to hear directly from families! We will be hosting one-hour, in-person research focus groups in December in our community to hear more from families perspectives on school attendance and ways that schools and health care teams can support youth to be healthy and in school. • Thurs, December 4, 5 – 6pm (Location: Enosburg Public Library) • Wed, December 10, 5 – 6pm (Location: Arvin A Brown Library, Richford) Participants will receive a $90 Amazon gift card incentive for their participation, and will receive free food and childcare. If you are interested in participating in a focus group, please submit your interest through this form! Only one participant per household please. We will be in touch before the Thanksgiving holiday to confirm your selection for the focus group. Questions? Contact Dr. Heidi Schumacher at heidi.schumacher@med.uvm.edu.

Save the date for our RES Winter Concert.

RES PTO is again offering the Halladay Harvest fundraiser. Order forms are being sent home with students today. All orders must be in by December 8th so items will be in before the winter break. All proceeds benefit the continuing playground improvement plan. Thank you!

We are still collecting warm winter gear. Our Richford distribution was a huge success. Thank you for your support. If you still have clean, gently used winter gear that no longer fits, or you or your family won't wear we will be sure it gets a new home. We are collecting all this week for our distribution on Saturday at the Enosburg Opera House from 12-3. If you missed our Richford Town Hall Saturday come to Enosburg.
