School Lunch Applications Update

Good afternoon from the Milton Town School District.

Please be aware the 2016-17 MTSD school lunch applications were sent out last week from the food service program. Please use these forms to replace any previous form you may have completed this summer.

We understand that a middle school summer mailing went out earlier this summer and it had the outdated 2015-16 school lunch applications attached.

Per new federal requirements, the food service program is required to have this 2016-17 form on file.

Please contact Kristen Abare at 893-5501 or email at kabare@mtsd-vt.org if there are any questions or if you are in need of the 2016-17 application before the first day of school.

Thank you kindly.

Enjoy the last few days of summer vacation!

Reading and Writing

Hello fellow Falcons,

It is already August! Can you believe it? Time flies (like a falcon!) when you're having fun, and we hope that you're having lots of fun.

As we are in the last month of summer, we felt it was a good time to remind you about our summer reading. While some of you may have already read the book you selected, others might have put it off until the last moment. Well, we're almost at the last moment! Make sure to read your book before the start of the school year. We are looking forward to discussing our team culture using these books as a starting point!

For those of you looking for a writing prompt, here you go:

1. You find a turtle by the side of the road. When you stop to pick it up, it looks up at you and says, "Thank goodness you're here. We don't have much time." What happens next?

2. You have been chosen by the state of Vermont to make an ad to boost tourism. What image do you select and why?

3. Write anything you'd like.

Remember: You are encouraged to just write and not stop for 7-10 minutes. This may result in some mistakes (eagle-eyed* readers from last prompt may have noticed that my writing changed verb tenses!), but that's all part of the process.

Enjoy your summers!

* Perhaps I should say "falcon-eyed"?
