Dear Middlebrook Families,
Budget season is in full-swing. We need all of our parents to be active participants in this process. This budgetary season brings another layer of challenge for our schools. The money we received from Covid-19 ends. This means that staffing and other programs that were once funded using this money will need to be paid for in our budget. Please make sure you attend our Board of Education meeting to learn more about the process and advocate for our children. Remember, once the Board of Education approves our budget, it moves to the First Selectman, Board of Finance, and Town Council. Contacting the Board of Finance and Town Council members to approve the budget is vital for all of our schools to provide the level of education our students deserve.
As we move closer to a day of Thanksgiving, it is important to know that gratitude is strongly and consistently aligned with happiness. Children and adults alike experience improved health, build strong relationships and feel more positive emotions. It is very easy for Middlebrook staff to walk the halls of our building and find many things to be grateful for; including our children and colleagues. When we gaze upon the art work displayed by Mrs. Jacovino, see children holding hands and skipping through the hallways, or see students offering one another kind words, we experience a wealth of emotions all contributing to our sense of gratefulness. Gratitude connects us to something larger than ourselves and allows us to acknowledge the good in our lives.
Fondly,
Ms. Ponte and Ms. Molloy
