Sports Communication  The PTO is interested in gathering your thoughts and experiences around the Sports program - specifically, we are interested in your ideas about providing better communication with families so parents know what is expected and where your child should be for practices/games.  If you have any thoughts or ideas to share, we will be compiling this information during the next few weeks.  Send your thought to:
huntmiddleschool@gmail.com


Grease  Plans are being hatched for the Spring production of Grease.  Information will be coming home soon with specifics about auditioning and permission.  Everyone who auditions will get a part.  Please encourage your child to consider joining the play.  All three elementary schools (Flynn, CP Smith and Sustainability Academy) have strong theatre programs thanks to active PTO's, great leadership and the Direction of Don Wright and the Very Merry Theatre.  At Hunt, we hope to continue to offer a rich theatre experience to as many students as we can reach.  Practices will be after school and the final performances will take place at the end of March.  Students will be expected to maintain a C average or better to participate and we will follow the same reporting procedure as the sports program.  Check out the DVD with your child and reacquaint yourself with all the fun songs.  Hunt will be doing a G version of Grease.  We have already ordered the scripts.  Please let us know if you have any concerns and we would be happy to go over the script with you.

Auditions will take place in mid January and rehearsals will start around the 9th of February - just after basketball ends(!) Rehearsals will start at 3:15 after a brief snack in the cafeteria.  Contact Sarah Smith at sarah@esptrans.com or Kim Hunt at khunt@bsdvt.org with questions or concerns.
