Hi Waitsfield Families-
Happy Spring! In an effort to communicate school decisions and items that affect WES we are sharing the information below: The board will be meeting tonight to discuss the Waitsfield School Kitchen Project. This project was approved by the board in November and went out to bid. One bid was received and it was higher than expected. At this time the board is recommending that the project be put on hold. For historical information, Waitsfield is the only school in the district without a commercial kitchen. Currently, WES meals are delivered in the back of the personally owned truck of one of the food service staff employees -- as are the dishes and the trays students eat upon. WES has a sink that never passes health inspection. The current enrollment at WES is almost 170 students, resulting in MANY meals being transported and served through an individual's truck; just today over 50 breakfasts and almost 100 lunches were served. If anyone feels that this project should not be put on hold and is concerned about the hygiene, efficiency and sustainability of our current food service with the facility we have, we ask that you express your opinion to the school board. The board can be reached at cen-huusdboard@huusd.org. Thank you for your time and consideration, WES PTA

SIGN UP TO RECEIVE: If getting holiday gifts, or basic needs (clothes, winter gear) is a challenge, you can sign up here for support from those in our community who have a little extra capacity right now. Please know that all personally identifiable information will be kept confidential to only a few school staff (Kaiya, Liz, Susan); only the "wish list" will be shared with donors. DONATE: If you would like to sponsor a child this holiday season please contact school counselor Liz at lbelknap@huusd.org. We will share with you “wish lists” created by some of our families. Gifts need to be delivered to school by Monday 12/20. If you have any questions about the program, please contact school counselor Liz Belknap (lbelknap@huusd.org) or administrative assistant Susan Laskaris (slaskaris@huusd.org), or 496-3643.
