Once again, we are creating a keepsake program for this year’s drama production of Peter Pan. Shoutouts and advertising are a great memento for the cast, crew and chorus, and all the proceeds go directly to fund our amazing drama productions!

Advertisements in the program can be purchased by local businesses, and/or by Orchard families and friends. Ads may include photos, logos, clip art, drawings, poems, songs, or just some words of encouragement for the cast, crew, or chorus. Salute your own child or cheer on an entire group of kids! You can be as creative as you’d like!

Please create your ad using any application that is capable of producing a “pdf” or “jpg” file. They are easy enough to do in Microsoft Word. Please note the sizes and prices below when creating your ad.

This year we will again be offering the ever-popular “One Line Shout Outs.” You can purchase one line of text which will be added to shout-out pages in the program for just $10! E.g. “We are so proud of you Susie? Love, Nana and Papa”, “Welcome to the stage 3rd grade chorus!”

Kerry Fantelli and Keith Smith of UVM’s Center for Health and Well-Being will co-facilitate learning and dialogue addressing how to start the conversation about race with children on Thursday, January 23, 5:30-7:00 p.m., F.H. Tuttle Middle School Cafeteria and Library (500 Dorset Street).

This event is part of the South Burlington Community Series on Diversity, Equity and Inclusion. In its fourth year, the series intends to offer the community an opportunity to come together and engage in thoughtful, intentional dialogue on topics often difficult to discuss. This evening is especially designed for the parents/guardians/caretakers of the community’s youngest learners, recognizing that “at birth, babies look equally at faces of all races. At 3 months, babies look more at faces that match the race of their caregivers (Kelly et al. 2005)” (“They’re Not Too Young to Talk about Race,” The Children’s School).

A free dinner will be offered at the January 23 event from 5:30-6:00 p.m., and the presentation will run from 6:00-7:00 p.m. and will include resources for families to bring home. Free childcare is also available. Please call 802.652.7035 to register for childcare and/or the event.

This event is sponsored by South Burlington School District’s Healthy Schools Program. For further information, please contact Susie Merrick at smerrick@sbschools.net or 802.652.7035.
