We've been getting lots of great info regarding opportunities for Hunt students and families. Many have come from our hardworking PTO. At the risk of being repetitive, I'd like to include them below. Follow up if you'd like more info.

1 - Sharing this free workshop being coordinated by ParentIn taking place Feb.17th at Fletcher Free Library - 11am - 1pm. Registration / RSVP information below. Child Care is available.
ParentIN is hosting a free educational event for parents in Burlington, featuring a presentation about trends and risks associated with today's marijuana, including a panel of local experts for audience Q&A. All Hunt Middle School parents & guardians are invited to join!
As of July 1, it will be legal for adults 21 and over in Vermont to possess up to an ounce of marijuana, and grow marijuana in their homes. With increased access to marijuana comes increased challenges for keeping kids safe. It is more important than ever for parents to be informed.

3 - The Burlington School District’s priorities are to work on “reducing the disparities and closing the achievement gap, while raising the Bar.” But just what exactly does that mean? What is the achievement gap anyway?
Burlington School District’s “Diversity, Equity and Inclusion” Board Committee is hosting a community workshop, “Achievement Gap 101,” to help answer that question. Join district staff, educators, and school board members on February 20th from 6:00 – 7:30 for this free workshop designed to help community members gain a foundational understanding of the achievement gap and the district’s strategies for closing it. Come learn more and connect with others in your community who are interested in helping all of our community’s children succeed!
Space for this event is limited to 50 participants and will be on a first come, first served basis. If you’re interested, please RSVP via email to Mary Hewitt by February 12. mhewitt@bsdvt.org
RSVP’s will receive an email confirming attendance and additional event details, including location.
In the event that there is a large amount of community interest, we will work to hold another session.
