Led by the Education Outreach Coordinator, Señor Pat Picciano, they toured the restaurant's extensive folk art collection, and then watched as he prepared guacamole and salsa cruda. Students were then treated to a Mexican luncheon complete with enchiladas, arroz mexicano, frijoles refritos, and fried ice cream. ¡Qué sabroso! Before they left, Señora Soifer was presented with a beautiful, handcrafted candleholder for Día de Muertos, or Day of the Dead, which is on display in the Spanish classroom. Thanks to our PTO and Student Activity Fund for helping to make this trip fabuloso!

On Thursday, June 10, the 8th grade Spanish class put on 3 performances of the play, "El muchacho pastor," better known in English as "The Boy who Cried Wolf." The class, comprised of Taylor Bailey, Moriah and Mikaylah Champagne, Tasha Dutil, and Gillian Welch, wrote an original script for the story in Spanish, and then translated it into English. They performed the Spanish version first, all changed roles and costumes quickly, performed the English version, and finished out the performance with a rousing song-and-dance rendition of the story in Spanish. Students in Grades 3-5 as well as some from the K-2 classes attended the show. Hats off to these talented bilingual muchachas!!

NOTICE! Supporters needed at Budget Committee meeting tonight!

2009-05-07T10:39:00.001-04:00

Tonight (Thursday May 7th) there is a meeting of the Budget Committee at the Town Office at 7 pm. It's important that we have as many people there as possible to reinforce the message from Tuesday night. Due to the rain I doubt there will be any ballgames...so try to be there if you can to support the school committee recommendation.

The budget crisis and what YOU can do!

2009-04-30T16:38:00.000-04:00

Serious budget cuts are threatening our community school. VCS already has one of the most fiscally conservative school budgets in Central Maine. Subsequent budget cuts will significantly compromise our children's education. Your child will be left behind.

Your presence at School Committee and Town Budget Committee meetings is critical! Let these elected officials know that we can't afford not to provide our community children the quality education they deserve.

Mark your calendar for Town Meeting on Monday, June 8. Be part of the democratic process, and vote to support the Vassalboro Community School and our children’s future.

(Are you on Facebook? Join the group "Save Vassalboro Community School" to get the facts, stay in touch, and to receive notices of when the meeting occur)
