Don’t forget the benefit Dance being held on Friday, August 7th, from 7-11 p.m. at the Epsom Elks to help raise money for medical expenses for Baby Hayden. Hayden was born with Down Syndrome and a Congenital Heart Condition (full Atrioventricular Canal Defect) that will require her in the next month or so to have open heart surgery. Medical expenses add up quickly even for this hard working family. Please help out this local family in this difficult time. Mike and Caitlin Shultz would greatly appreciate it. There will be a DJ, raffles, appetizers and a cash bar. Tickets are $20 each or $35 for a couple. Please contact Tammy Montambeault for more information or to purchase tickets [email protected] or 566-5771.

 


 

Happy Birthday to Eric Harris on August 8.

2015-16 Chichester Central School News

Submitted By Brian Beaverstock, Principal

Chichester Central School

 

On behalf of the teachers and entire staff at Chichester Central School, we hope you have had a safe and enjoyable summer thus far. We are looking forward to welcoming back all of our students for the 2015-16 school year.  The classrooms are in order, hallways are getting waxed and shined, and the teaching staff is gearing up for another exciting year of learning and growing together with our students. Within the next week, all students should be receiving a “welcome” letter from their homeroom teacher which will list necessary supplies for the school year. You will also be able to find these letters on the school website in case you misplace yours.

 

Wednesday, August 26, is our first day of school.  Please look over the bus routes as some times and stops have changed. Students should be at their designated bus stop at least 10 minutes before their scheduled time in the first week of school so we can gauge their pick-up time and bus route correctly. Parents who are dropping off their children are asked to do so after 8 and as close to 8:10 as possible. Students may begin entering their homeroom at 8:15.  There is still time for parents who would like to have their children use the New Morning Childcare program to register.  This program provides care for students of Chichester Central School before school beginning at 7 AM and after school until 5:45 PM. Parents and families may call the New Morning program at 669-3591 or visit newmorningschools.com on the web for more information.

 

The lunch price for students this year will remain $2.50.  Adults who would like to purchase a fine meal may do so at $3.50, but please call ahead to make arrangements.  More information including our school lunch menu will be posted on our website and on our google calendar.

 

Incoming kindergarten students are invited to ride the bus for an orientation to school with their parents on Tuesday, August 25. The bus will leave the town hall at 9:00 (AM class) and 10:00 (PM class) and drive down Main Street to school.  After a 45 minute stay to get acquainted with their new classroom, the bus will return to the town offices.  All incoming first grade students may visit their classroom from 1-2 PM on Tuesday, August 25 in order to reorient themselves with their new classroom.  The PTO will once again be hosting our fabulous Back to School Barbeque on Wednesday, September 9 at 5 PM.  Carpooling for this event is strongly encouraged as there is limited parking at school.  After everyone is fed, families are encouraged to meet the teachers and tour the school as part of the annual Open House.  

 

I am very proud of our school’s accomplishments in the past year and am looking forward to another great year of learning in our CCS community.  Students in grades 5-8…be sure to read your summer reading book and complete your summer reading assignment.  Enjoy these last few weeks of summer and please call the school at 798-5651 if there are any questions!

 


 

Community Participation Makes Garden Tour A Success

Chichester Garden Tour 3.jpg

Despite light showers Sunday, the second biennial “Historic Chichester Garden Tour” was a success. Sixty participants wandered Chichester this last weekend viewing a wide variety of private gardens.  One of the highlights was a personalized tour at Millican Nurseries Inc. on Pleasant Street.  Although a wholesale operation, Millican offered an hour long tour of their facility and gave Tour participants an opportunity to make a purchase. Participants were very appreciative of Millican’s effort to make this weekend a memorable one and our tour guide, who took the time to inform and answer horticultural questions.  

 

Most have visions of young farmers growing acres of vegetables and more mature ladies raising flowers in tiny gardens.  This Tour brought to light the diversity of gardeners with that some of our more experienced vegetable gardeners sharing growing techniques in gardens to provide food for much of the year.   We were pleased that one entire family takes gardening to heart, and delighted to have 14-year old Josh Newhook share his two gardens with Tour participants.  Josh enthusiastically guided participants around the family backyard explaining who created which gardens, type of flowers and herbs and shared his knowledge and excitement of gardening.  

 

Not only did Tour tickets include a light lunch at the Memorial Garden area and desserts at a designated garden site, it entitled each participant to a chance to win one of eleven door prizes.  

 

New this year was the Farmers Market which offered plants, fertilizer, produce, baked goods and maple syrup from local residents and farmers.

 

This community effort made this event a success.  Ticket sales will be divided among the following Chichester organizations - Garden Club, Historical Society, Heritage and Agricultural Commissions, Town Library and Photo Group.

Farmers’ Market At The Chichester Library

 

In conjunction with the August 22nd book sale, the Library will be hosting a local version of a Farmers’ Market.  The gardens are yielding their crops in abundance and what better way to distribute any extras than selling them?  Those who have vegetables, eggs, honey, syrup, flowers or anything they have personally produced (such as baked goods, soaps, lip balms, etc.) are encouraged to participate.  Each “vendor” is responsible for set-up and tear-down of their own 10’ x 10’ space.  Smaller spaces are also available.   There will be nearby parking available for vendors and buyers.

 

Interested parties should register by contacting the Library or one of the Trustees (Carol Hendee, Carolee Davison or Lucille Noel) and providing your name and phone number.  The market is planned for either rain or shine, as there is no rain date.
