Plant & Yard Sale at Hunt School
THIS SATURDAY from 8:30am-2:00pm
Perennial Plant and Herb sale will be held outside, rain or shine.
Yard sale will be held in the Hunt cafeteria.
We have hundreds of beautiful and healthy perennial plants for sale!! Plants can be purchased in advance of the sale. Each plant is $5, herbs $3, unless otherwise marked. If you prefer to purchase your plants in advance of the sale, please bring your cash or check (made to Hunt PTO with plant sale in the memo line) to the main office for Michelle Virun. We only ask that you pay first before taking your plants home as we do not have the volunteers available for I.O.U's. Sorry.
We need lots of yard sale items including kitchen and household items, sporting goods, popular reading books, tools, garden equipment, items for animals, good quality clothing, office items, and any other yard sale item that is clean and in good working condition. Please drop off yard sale items this Friday, May 23rd, from 3-7pm. Call the cell phone numbers below if you have items but need a different drop off time.
Contact: Susan at susanrutherford@hotmail.com or 777-2076 for plant sale questions AND Gabi at gamabaumann@burlingtontelecom.net or 660-9189 with any yard sale questions.

From the Burlington School District:
Dear Parents,
Burlington School District believes in celebrating diversity and providing equitable, welcoming environments for every student and family. To measure our success and strive for improvement, we are launching an Equity, Inclusion, and Respect Parent Survey on May 15th. This survey will be accessible via a link on the District website (www.bsdvt.org) and will be open through May 29th.
Designed by independent technology and communications firm K12 Insight, the survey seeks your views on critical issues such as discrimination, staff respectfulness, and student safety during school activities. While addressing these topics can be difficult, it is essential to helping students reach their highest intellectual and personal potential.
Separate Equity, Inclusion, and Respect Student and Staff Surveys will be conducted at school. Please be assured that all feedback is confidential, with responses anonymous to Burlington School District staff. Once the surveys, the District will share results.
Thank you for your participation, which will guide the District's work to end disrespect, stereotyping, and discrimination at school. We value your opinions and commitment to drawing great strength from our differences.
Sincerely,
Jeanné Collins, Superintendent
