Día de los Muertos Celebration
On Thursday, November 5th, we’ll celebrate our annual Día de los Muertos Celebration at The Village School! We hope you’ll join us from 5:30–7:30 p.m. in the school Commons. This is a family celebration for all ages!
Dinner will be potluck style, with each grade contributing to the meal. You can help by signing up on the Potluck Signup Spreadsheet
We’re also collecting flowers and other natural decorations for our ofrenda (altar). If you have corn stalks, gourds, marigolds, or other flowers to share, please send them to school on Monday, November 2nd.
Finally, we need a few more helping hands to help make this special evening a success! Please Sign up for a shift if you are able to. This is one of our favorite Village School traditions, and we appreciate all the help from our amazing community!
We look forward to celebrating with you!
News from Title I
These days the small groups room which houses the Title I program, is filled with the sounds of students learning math, learning to read, connecting, creating and having fun!
We'd love to have you stop by our activity table at the Día de los Muertos festival on Thursday, Nov 5. We'll be providing fun literacy activities connected to the celebration in the craft room which will be in the library. Students can make their own mini ofrenda, color book marks and take home an illustrated information and activity book. We'll also decorate a remembrance tree with memories and pictures of important beings in our lives who have died. We hope to see you there!
Lastly, The federal government requires us to let parents know that they may request information about the educational qualifications of our instructional staff. The links provide additional information.
