THE SOCCER PLAY DOWNS ARE HERE

Well, the boys had a great win yesterday afternoon.  Here's the article from the Free Press on line.

FAIRFAX — Justin Bolam tallied an unassisted goal on a breakaway three minutes into overtime to lift sixth-seeded BFA-Fairfax past No. 11 Hazen, 1-0, in a Division III high school boys soccer playdown game Tuesday.
Cameron Loller worked the three-save shutout for the Bullets (11-4).

So we go to Winooski on Friday at 3:00 PM. We are the only team that has beaten Winooski this year. Not only once but TWICE. Even knocked them out of first place !!! Go Bullets !!! So come to Winooski on Friday to support our boys team ... and bring a broom ... see if we can sweep em the season.

The girls play today at 3:00 PM hosting Twin Valley so come out and support em !!!

GO BULLETS

My apologies. I misspelled the superintendants name. It is Mr. Kirsch

That's just the slide show that Mr. Hirsch (Superintendant) presented. Does not show the BFA proposed cuts. These were given by the individual principals in public session. There were cuts in Elementary, Middle and High School. The cuts were just read off. There was no slide presentations. If you didn't have a quick pen or a fantastic ear you were in trouble. a lot of noise in the room from the juice machines. They got unplugged so people could hear.

Haven't seen any Meeting Minutes posted anywhere yet.

There is another post about Meeting Minutes on this site. It shows the same slide show as the Facebook one. This was posted by Henry as provided from the Natasha Supervisory Union.

Thanks for that Presentation Natasha. If you can also post the list of proposed cuts from the three administrators, that would be even better. I think the public really needs to see that.

Well, thank you for that information. I was at the meeting last night. A lot of people. There was a microphone but it was not chosen to be used by most of the presenters. Had to ask for people to speak up. Probably why I didn't hear that part about the new vendor, unless it was under OTHER . I had left by then. The existing site is a mess. Wrong dates for agendas and such. Very confusing when you are trying to find some accurate information.

We have just started a new thing for the band in fact. It is called Friends of Music. it was an idea that came up from Bruce and Melisa (Band & Chorus) to come up with ways on how to get the community and parents more involved with the band / chorus and thuoghts to raise money to defray costs for trips and things. We actually had our first meeting on September 22 and figured out some ideas for a fund raiser for around the Holiday concert time. I don't have the next meeting date right now, but I'll post it when I get my hands on it. The band and chorus do some wonderful things and it would be a shame to lose that.

I am new to this , but I am going to ask that if you are at all concerned about this situation PLEASE attend the meeting on Monday night. My wife and I will be there and I have quite a list of questions. The only way we can get answers is by going to the meeting. I don't mean this in a bad way,  but bantering back and forth will do us no good. We all have our own opinions and that is what this country is all about. Board meetings are always open to the public and your comments are always heard. If you don't go you will let five individuals plus a select few others decide the future of your children. The board has until December 15th to submit their recomendations to the state. According to the minutes from the September 13th school Board meeting  after the meeting on the 11th, they have set another meeting for 25th at 6:30 for budget planning. There is another meeting on the 8th of November   (regular meeting), and according to the minutes November 22 if needed. So these are our chances. There have been numerous letters /emails written to Mr. Clark and more wouldn't hurt.

Just a sidebar, If you look at the announcement in another section of this great site There are three AP scholars recognized and all have been involved in music or the arts. Have a great evening.
