Have you experienced a change in employment or income?
You may be eligible for reduced/free meals and/or childcare assistance for ASP. Maybe you weren't eligible at the beginning of the school year, but you may be now.
If you have any questions regarding these programs, or you would like to apply for assistance, please contact Laurie Marcoux in our Business Office at lmarcoux@bjams.org or 802-888-4758 x. 243
Are you a professional artist? Do you know someone who is?
We are looking for donations of all manner of artwork - acrylics, watercolors, pen and ink, photography, still life, and more - for this year's Spring Fundraiser. It's an Art reception being held at The River Arts Building called The ART of B.A.S.H (Building a Scholastic Heritage). Stay tuned for more details about the event as it gets closer, but for right now, we're looking for your creative contributions of artwork!
For more information contact Michelle Tomlinson at mtomlinson@bjams.org
Good ol' Fashion Outdoor Fun!
Winter Ball 2020 - fingers crossed we can make it happen!
It's time to dress up, have some fun with friends, and eat a cupcake or two! Upper school students (grades 6-8) please mark your calendars for Friday, Feb 21 from 7:00 - 9:00 pm. Tickets will be $5 per person and sold in advance during drop off and pick up times starting the week of Feb 3. Dressing up is encouraged but not required. We will base our ability to hold the ball, based on number of tickets sold (we need to cover the cost of the DJ) and parent help.
Parents - want to help us make this happen? We are still looking for help with selling tickets, food donations, decorations and chaperones.
Contact the coordinators to volunteer, donate, or ask questions:
