Some of the classes will be taking a field trip to the Festival of the Trees. Preschool classes will go on November 28 and elementary classes on November 29. Parent chaperones will be needed. If your child receives a permission slip for the field trip, then his/her class will be attending.
Applications for the 2013-2014 school year will be going out by December 1. If you don't receive your application by the second week in December, please contact Dawn. They will be due when the kids return to school after Christmas break.

Legislative sessions will be beginning soon, and it will be EXTREMELY important for families to head up to the Capital and fight for funding for the autism preschool this year! We will also want to fight for continued funding of the Cason Smith Scholarship program, autism registry, and other autism programs. Pingree will provide transportation once the schedule for the legislative sessions is known.
From Laurel: Tiles are up on the Dr. Petersen tribute wall. If you ordered a tile, go check it out. You can still order tiles - the 6X6 are $100 and the 12X12 are $250.
Chili Open drawing tickets are now avaiable in the office. They are $2.00/ticket or 6 tickets for $10.00. All money from the sell of the tickets will come back to Pingree. Please pick some up to sell to family and friends!
We are collecting donations and goods for the Chili Open baskets. The baskets will be put up for bidding the night of the Gala dinner, which is February 1, 2013. This year there will be 20 baskets. Some of the themes of the baskets are: Baby boy, Baby girl, Chocolate Lovers, Night Out, Family Fun, Spa, Reading, Golf, Wine, and Craft. Please donate items if you can - all the money from the baskets come back to Pingree. We also need help with Sponsorships which start at $350.00 and go up. Corporate Tables go for $1500.00 for 10 people and $750 would come back to Pingree. If you have any ideas for Sponserships, please contact Laurel Ingham at laureli@vmh.com.
