Carnival and Fire Truck Pull - April 14
Dear Families of Milton Middle School Students,
The third annual Fire Truck Pull and Carnival is happening on April 14th, from 10:00 – 2:00, to benefit the 8th grade trip to Boston. There are many activities planned including carnival games, crafts, music, and food. We are looking for Fire Truck Pull Teams and craft vendors.
If you and nine of your friends or co-worker are feeling strong, create a team to pull a fire truck. To participate in the pull each team needs to raise at least $100. There will be trophies awarded for the fastest pull by a team that is under 18, fastest pull by a team over 18 and the most money raised. The team that raises the most money will also be awarded 10 vouchers for 6” subs from Subway. If you are interested in putting together a team please contact Amira Bakr at 893-3230 ext. 678 or abakr@mtsd-vt.org.
If you are crafty and you would like to sell your crafts, we are selling table space at $30 per booth. You will get to keep all of your profits from the sale of your items. If you are interested or know someone who may be interested, please contact, Joe Smith at jsmith3@mtsd-vt.org or call at 893-3230 ext. 217 by April 6th.
To make this day a success, we are looking for parents and other adults to help us. We will be in need of adults to help cook. If you can assist, please fill out the form below and return it to your student's Advisory Teacher or email me.
Please contact us if you have any other questions at abakr@mtsd-vt.org or jsmith3@mtsd-vt.org or (802)-893-3230 ext 217.
We highly appreciate your help and hope to see you at the carnival!

Dear Families,
This is to remind you that the Spaghetti Dinner will be February 23rd from 5:00 - 7:00 followed by the Phantom Tollbooth at 7:00. The cost of the dinner is by donation and the Phantom Tollbooth is $5.00. You do not need to go to both.
In order to make this dinner successful, WE NEED TO GET THE WORD OUT and encourage people to attend. Please spread the word at your place of worship, around town, at work, etc. The more people we can get to come the better. Because everything is donated, all of the money raised goes directly to the Boston trip.
We are looking for the following items to be donated.
Parmesan Cheese
Salad Dressing
Salad Ingredients
Drink Mix
Baked goods for dessert
Bread
If you make a donation and/or your child helps out at the dinner this will count towards one of their 3 fund raisers.
Thanks,
Joe Smith

Portfolio Conferences Coming Up!
Dear Pyxis Families,
How time flies! We are already well into the third quarter of the school year and it is already time for our second round of Portfolio Conferences! Educational research tells us that children benefit greatly from having meaningful conversations about their learning with important adults in their lives. To that end, we hope that you can attend a Portfolio Conference where your child will present to you artifacts of his or her learning – work from each class that he or she has thoughtfully selected to demonstrate learning and growth.
In addition to presenting artifacts of academic growth, your child will also discuss their progress with the Universal Habits we have been working on this year: Managing Self, Relating to Others, Constructing Knowledge, and Participating and Contributing.
For your convenience, we are scheduling conferences on the evening of Thursday, February 23, and on the morning of Tuesday, March 6. Anyone is welcome – parents, siblings, grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, neighbors. If no adult is able to attend on these dates, we will gladly make arrangements for you to conference with your child at another time.
Please visit http://bit.ly/pyxisconferences2 to indicate your preferred conference times.
If you wish to meet one on one with Pyxis teachers, we would be more than happy to schedule a meeting when we see you at your child’s Portfolio Conference.
We look forward to seeing you!
Sincerely,
The Teachers of Team Pyxis:
Karen Allard
Nathan Caswell
Jana Fabri
