[post_content] => Every March, all voters in the district are provided with the opportunity to vote on the budget for the following school year.
In addition, there are some items that frequently appear and require voter approval, including acceptance of the auditor reports, appropriation of funds for the various district trust funds, and School Board member salaries.
The ballots may also include some additional warrant articles that require voter approval. Warrant articles can be initiated either by the School Board or by voter petition.
Since the 2018 district ballots will include all of the above, the School Board will use this forum to provide all interested parties (voters, parents and students, teachers and district staff) with additional information.

[post_content] => In what is becoming a Pierce School holiday tradition, the PTO treated the students to a day of learning and fun at the Barbara C. Harris Camp in Greenfield. The staff at the Camp made it possible for students to assist in the preparation of a pizza lunch and decoration of delicious gingerbreadmen. Lunch followed the morning activities including inside games, the cooking projects, and a read aloud, The Stranger in the Woods by Carl Sams, with an art project featuring adorable pinecone and hemlock antlered deer. After lunch some of the students hiked the nature trail looking for the signs and sounds of animals living in the nearby woods, while other students built snowmen inspired by the story. Upon return to the school, the PTO served students hot cocoa to accompany the gingerbreadmen and had a gift for each child. It was wonderful day and we all thank the PTO and the staff at the Barbara C Harris Camp for making possible.

Pierce School celebrated Halloween on Tuesday, October 31st! Students, staff, and Bennington
community members joined for an annual parade through town. Scarecrows and carved pumpkins made by Pierce School students were displayed outside the school for all to enjoy.
Students proudly displayed their costumes with big waves and many smiles. There were so many
creative costumes this year: from a jellyfish, to a box of donuts, and even a toy crane! It was exciting to see students share their uniqueness with friends and family. Happy Halloween from the Bennington Black Bears!

If you walked into Pierce school on Friday October 27, 2017, you would have noticed the smell of pumpkin soup cooking, heard the crinkle of leaves being stuffed into scarecrows and seen pumpkins being
transformed into jack-o-lanterns representing Pierce School spirit. These were just some of the
activities students participated in recently to celebrate Fall, build school community and integrate
art and literacy. Students worked in multi-age groups all day on Friday. They rotated to five
different activities that used picture books to introduce Fall themed activities that they then
worked on collaboratively with students from all grade levels. Activities included listening to the
story Pumpkin Soup and working as a group to then make soup and cooking applesauce.
Students also read The Lonely Scarecrow and worked cooperatively to make scarecrows to be
displayed at the school, and carved the words Black Bears into pumpkins generously donated by
Tenney Farm. To integrate the school’s core values the children created a kindness tree. Each leaf
demonstrates an example of kindness the student has shown or has experienced. Look for the
kindness tree displayed in the school for all to see.
This was just the first opportunity students had this year to work in our multi-age groups, called
Black Bear groups. Throughout the school year, students will work in these groups on different
projects, the goal of which is to allow students to make connections with children and teachers in
different classes, work collaboratively, give older students the opportunity to mentor younger
students, and to continue to build a strong school community. Our next opportunity to work in
these groups will occur when we visit the Barbara C. Harris Center in December. Students will
have the chance to make pizza, decorate cookies and explore the natural world through a winter
scavenger hunt and hike. We thank all of the volunteers, community members, and our PTO for
their help and support with our Black Bear groups! - by Jen Sutton
