SAVING FOR SUCCESS!  The Union Bank’s Saving for Success banking program started up this morning (October 2nd).  Your middle level student may bring funds to school every Friday morning to be deposited into their Union Bank savings account between 7:30-8:00am at the Union Bank table in the PAML Lobby.  Any middle level students who presently have a Union Bank savings account, or plan to open a Union Bank savings account, are encouraged to make their money grow each Friday!

MORRISTOWN SKI/SNOWBOARD PROGRAM REGISTRATION:  The Morristown Ski & Snowboard Program will hold registration on October 5th, 7th, and 15th from 4:00-6:00pm in the Morristown Elementary School Library.  If you cannot make these dates, registration forms will be available at the MES Office.  All registration forms must be completed and returned to the MES Office no later than October 30th, and Stowe Mountain Resort will not accept any applications after this date.  Children must be in first grade and above to participate.  Fourth graders will now be allowed to sign up for snowboarding.  Do not let your child(ren) miss this opportunity to ski or snowboard this year!
