Out Of
Your Attic Thrift Shop News
I’ve heard a new term for items that
come into the shop; “repurposed accessories.” This would
include a supply of odds and ends for making memory platters.
Purchase a shallow tray, with straight sides, and plexi glass
inside. Enclose your sea glass, postcards, a favorite
necklace; anything to help remember the summer.

Chichester Central School News
The summer weeks have gone by
quickly and the staff is looking forward to welcoming back all of
the students for the 2011-2012 school year. Summer school is
over, the rooms are prepared, supplies are in, new students are
registering, staff members have taken part in professional
development, and a whole host of other activities have taken place
over the course of the summer break. All students should have
received a “welcome back” letter from their homeroom teacher which
listed the necessary supplies for the start of the year.
August
31 is the first day of school! Children who are dropped off
should arrive as close to 8:15 as possible, although there will be a
supervised area in the building between 8:00 and 8:15. For
those families that need to get an early start to the day, a new
YMCA Before School Care program will be offered from 7-8 am.
Parents interested can call the YMCA at 290-7123.
Please
make sure to check the bus routes as there have been some minor
changes; specific bus stops/times have been posted at the school’s
main office area. The lunch price for this year will be $2.25;
$3.50 for adults wishing to enjoy a fine meal in the middle of the
day.
Incoming kindergartners are invited to ride the bus to
school on Tuesday, August 30th. The bus will leave the town
hall at 9:00 (am class) and 10:00 (pm class) and students with a
parent will be greeted at the school. After a 45-minute stay
to get acquainted, the bus will return to the town offices.
All incoming first grade students may visit their classroom from
11:00-11:45 on Tuesday, the 30th. The PTO will be hosting the
Back to School Barbecue on Wednesday, September 7 at 5:00.
After everyone is well fed, families are encouraged to meet the
teachers and tour the school as part of the annual Open House.
We
look forward to welcoming everyone back; enjoy what remains of the
summer!

character by highlighting Main Street. Check it our at our

Have you noticed that some of the Grange/Town Hall windows
are in need of repair? The Heritage Commission is spearheading
a “One Pane at a Time” project to replace broken panes, reglaze the
12 pane bathroom window, and repair an animal damaged window in the
Grange kitchen. See more details at our Old Home Day booth.
