The RED BARN FUNDRAISER brought in over $2000!  Thanks to all who participated.

We will be doing the FLOWER POWER fundraiser again selling bulbs and flowers from a local company.  Look for brochures to come home in April.

There will be a COMEDY NIGHT at the Old Lantern in Charlotte on May 10.  This is a fundraiser for the Shelburne and Charlotte PTO's.  Look for more info. on this soon.
 
We are collecting RECIPES FROM THE INTERNATIONAL POT-LUCK DINNER.  There were so many requests!  We are asking everyone to send their recipes to Randy Sweeney (sweeneyrs@gmail.com) and we will post a link on the PTO's facebook page to access them. 

Over the past month there have been several events to help our current 8th graders begin their TRANSITION INTO CVU:  Presentation by CVU counselors, student/parent orientation night, band rehearsal with CVU band, visit from CVU Chinese teacher to talk about language opportunities, online registration for classes.

There is TUTORING AVAILABLE through Teen Opps by CVU students.  Info. at teenopps.org

NOTE - ON NEXT MONTH'S AGENDA:  The principals would like input on how best to communicate with parents.  Have any ideas, input?  Please join us at the March meeting.

Mark Your Calendars:

• March 5 - Town Meeting and VOTE!
• March 20 - Dialogue and Dessert Night.  Run by the students of LEAD the topic will be stress and anxiety.

• GIFT WRAP FUNDRAISER CO-CHAIRS (2 people) - The current chairs will coordinate this for the 2013/2014 school year but are looking for 2 people to take over for the following year.  Ideally, they would like these 2 people to overlap with them next year to learn the process.
