Two Residencies in October

In October, Flood Brook School welcomes two residencies to school. Jana Zeller from the Sandglass Theater will be working with grades k-4 on puppets with a puppet show to end the residency on October 26th. Brendan Taffe will be working with grades 5-8 to create "Crankies", hand cranked boxes where hand made scrolls can be placed and cranked out to share and idea or tell a story. A sharing out of each of the Crankies created will be happening on October 26th.

From the Kitchen:

Please remember:

Milk as part of a reimbursable meal - free

Milk alone - cost $0.50

We have observed an increase in the number of children opting for just milk, which results in charges being applied to their mealtime accounts. To avoid accumulating a negative balance, we kindly request that you monitor your online account regularly.
