Students need to remember that their costumes need to be appropriate for school not excessively gory, scary or bloody. No weapons of any type are allowed with the costume.
Students should be able to move around and do normal school activities with their costume. If students have questions or concerns about their costume they may bring it into the office for approval or take a picture, so that we can determine the appropriateness for school.

Argonautika
Argonautica tells the myth of the voyage of Jason and the Argonauts to retrieve the Golden Fleece from remote Colchis.
The audience was treated to the heroic adventures and Jason's relationship with the dangerous Colchian princess/sorceress Medea.
During the fantastic voyage, Jason and the audience encountered Hercules, Hera, sirens, centaurs, and more.
Hera and Athena ask Aphrodite to get her son Eros to fire an arrow into Meada so she will fall in love with Jason and help him get the Golden Fleece-that's protected by a dragon, which she controls with her magic.
King Aeëtes confronts Jason with three tasks in order to obtain the Golden Fleece.

For the first time in Vermont, state officials with the Vermont Department of Forest, Parks and Recreation have confirmed the presence of a disease that infects the leaves of beech trees.
Beech leaf disease, which was confirmed earlier this month in Vernon and more recently in Dummerston, is caused by invasive nematodes that spread in the tree’s leaves. In the United States, the nematodes were first found in Ohio, then identified in a total of 14 states including New Hampshire, Maine and Massachusetts, according to Josh Halman, forest health program manager with Vermont’s Department of Forests, Parks and Recreation. The nematode is native to Japan.
The nematodes, which are worm-like creatures, “are in such high concentrations within the leaf material that it’s actually damaging cells and disrupting the flow of nutrients and water within the leaves,” Halman said. “And so when you have high enough numbers of these nematodes within the leaves, it can really reduce the ability of the tree to have to photosynthesize and grow properly.”

The Vermont Department of Health Monday debuted a new home delivery program for naloxone, making the overdose reversal drug available free to anyone who requests it.
State deputy health commissioner Kelly Dougherty says Vermonters will be able to receive naloxone — also known under the brand name Narcan — through the mail in a kit.
"(The kit) includes two does of Narcan along with written instructions on how to use it. The kit also contains fentanyl test strips and instructions on how to use those, and then information on our VT Helplink and call center," Dougherty says.
Dougherty says VT Helplink is designed as a kind of one-stop resource for information on reducing the risk of a fatal opioid overdose.
The state has surpassed its own record for the number of such deaths three years running, and is on a pace to do so again this year.

Pownal-area residents memorialize ‘Widow Krieger,’ the subject of Vermont’s only known witch trial
Joyce Held, a member of the Pownal Historical Society, has spent a decade using genealogical research tools to create a three-dimensional picture of the 18th-century woman.
By Tiffany Tan reporting for VT Digger
On the bank of the Hoosic River, beside farms, homes and railroad tracks, stands a historic marker labeled “WITCH TRIAL.” It says a woman known as Widow Krieger escaped drowning in the river sometime around 1785, when she was tried for allegedly being a witch.
Her accusers believed witches would float if dropped in the river. When she was placed in a hole amid the frozen Hoosic, Widow Krieger sank. She was pulled out of the water, absolved of the witchcraft charge, and lived for another five years.
This story — the only known witch trial within the boundaries of what is now Vermont — would have remained a footnote in historical records if not for the efforts of a present-day woman. Joyce Held, a Pownal resident and member of the Pownal Historical Society, felt a pull to find out as much as she could about Widow Krieger after reading about the witch trial a decade ago. In doing so, she discovered an 18th-century figure whose experiences still resonate with people today.

Star Parties Planned at Hoisington Field
The Southern Vermont Astronomy Group (SoVerA) and the Weathersfield Proctor Library will host Star Parties at Hoisington Field this fall. The parties will be on Fridays when the weather is good and the Moon cooperates (that is, it doesn't shine so brightly that it washes out the sky).
They are posting a list of potential star party dates, so that interested people can pencil them in on their calendars. They will also send out notices closer to the date when it looks like we will have clear skies for an upcoming Friday. All of these dates are weather dependent.
They are planning for this to start with a cookout at Hoisington Field — a Star-B-Q. Grills will be provided. Bring your own food to grill, and a small side to share. If this is a success, we may make it a regular feature of our star parties.
Below is the list of Friday nights with crescent moons or no moon for the rest of the year.
Friday Night Star Party Possibilities:
November 3, 3rd Quarter sets at 9:19 pm
November 10, Waning Crescent sets in daylight
November 17, Waxing Crescent sets at 9:32 pm
December 1, Waning Gibbous rises at 9:27 pm
December 8, Waning Crescent sets in daylight
December 15, Waxing Crescent sets at 8:27 pm

Trumbull Hall Troupe was founded in 2004 by Jodi Picoult and Marjorie Rose to provide kids with a fun, educational theater experience that could also contribute to improving the lives of children less fortunate. In an effort to give back to the community, every year shows’ net proceeds are donated to area charities. In fact, when you buy a ticket for performances, you can choose which charity will receive your funds. In the past decade, the troupe has donated over $250K to kids in need in the Upper Valley, and around the world.

Zack's Place Turkey Trot
Nov. 23
As participants line up and register for the race they are entertained by a band on a flatbed truck. Hot coffee, tea and hot chocolate are offered. The race begins in front of the Woodstock Elementary School at 10:00 AM, with the more skilled runners in front and the rest following.
The run meanders through the historic Village of Woodstock, then on towards Billings Farm, around Mountain Avenue, and back around The Town Green, ending at the starting line. An award ceremony, also with refreshments and a band, follows the race where medals are presented.
Families run together as college kids and relatives gather for the Thanksgiving celebration. Grandparents and young children in carriages participate as walkers, dogs join in as well.
It has become a tradition for many in the Woodstock area; however we also have “satellite participants” who cannot be in Woodstock but who run with family wherever they are: Hawaii, Italy, New York City, etc.
This is indeed a day of thanks where individuals help support our enrichment center and give thanks for their own gifts at the same time.

Andy Warhol in Vermont
Hall Art Foundation, Reading VT
The Hall Art Foundation is pleased to announce an exhibition by famed American artist Andy Warhol to be held in its galleries in Reading, Vermont from 13 May – 26 November 2023.
Cultural icon, celebrity and provocateur, Andy Warhol produced works that are instantly recognizable and have inspired a generation of artists. Seriality and appropriation were signature aspects of Warhol’s painting and sculptural practice.
He often made many different versions of the same subject, perhaps most famously with his iconic multi-part work, Campbell’s Soup Cans (1962) which depicts 32 different versions of a Campbell’s soup can. Shortly after completing these works, Warhol began to make paintings using silk-screens, a process that greatly facilitated his explorations of image multiplicity.
For any given subject, Warhol might use several different source images, producing multiple versions of each picture, sometimes in different sized formats, or sometimes using different color combinations for the silkscreen inks and paints, or sometimes both.
In other cases, he would use the same exact silkscreen and the same color silkscreen inks and paints, allowing the randomness of the screening process itself to introduce variations in tonality and color saturation in the individual paintings.
Volunteers in Action (ViA), a neighbor helping neighbor organization, is seeking immediate volunteer support for two Meals on Wheels routes in Windsor. Details:
- Open shifts available Monday through Friday, help when you have time
- Roughly 2-hour commitment (10am – Noon) on volunteer days
- Individual training available upon sign-up
- Minimal driving, low mileage routes.
- There are additional needs in Weathersfield as well, if people are interested.
