Tucana Celebration
Congratulations to all who pushed themselves and persisted up Mt. Mansfield today! It is a challenging climb and you should be proud of this accomplishment regardless of whether or not you made it to the summit. Hopefully, you enjoyed the scenery and learned that the journey itself (smelling the roses) is more important than the destination. Many thanks to our chaperones for helping our team out today!

Attn Families - Boston Fundraiser!
Dear Parents,
On Saturday, October 22nd, we will be holding a tag sale at the Milton Middle School from 9:00 a.m. - 3:00 p.m. This will be in conjunction with Milton Elementary School's Team Expedition's tag sale being held at the Elementary School. The idea is to create a "Come to Milton" campaign to visit our two gigantic tag sales. Here is how you can help.
1) Clean out your house, garage, shed, barn, closet, attic, car, office etc. and donate any gently-used goods to the tag sale. Items can be dropped off at Ace Storage, Unit # 14 on Landfill Road in Milton. People will be there to collect goods on:
Wednesday, October 12th from 4:00 pm. - 7:00 pm.
Saturday, October 15th from 9:00 am. - 1:00 pm.
Wednesday, October 19th from 9:00 am. - 1:00 pm.
You can also drop goods off at the school on October 22nd from 7:00 am. - 10:00 pm.
If these times do no work for you please contact me, Joe Smith, at 893-3230 ext. 217 or email jsmith3@mtsd-vt.org to make alternative arrangements.
2) Help collect donations at Ace Storage at the above times. We need someone to unlock the unit and be there while people bring their items.
3) Help set up the day of the tag sale. Set up will take place from 6:30 am – 9:00 pm. We will be looking for a truck to help move the goods from the storage unit to the school.
4) Help break down the tag sale. Breakdown will be from 2:30 pm – 4:00 pm.
5) Bake delicious food. Please drop off at the school on the 22nd between 8:30 am and 12:00 pm.
6) Spread the word. Let your family members, friends, and co-workers know about the tag sale. Post on Facebook, Tweet, or any other place where people will see it. Encourage them to donate goods and to shop on the 22nd. One person's refuse is another person's treasure.
7) Shop at the tag sale and find all those hidden treasure.
Please remember that we are asking all 8th grade families to participate in at least three fundraisers. Here is an excellent opportunity for you to participate for those of you who are not comfortable going door-to-door selling items.
Please contact me to let me know how you can help.
Thanks,
Joe Smith
