We strive to provide an environment in which children can experience success and develop their feeling of self-worth. Along with encouraging creative accomplishments, we provide instruction in the basic skills necessary to succeed in our changing world. All this is done in an atmosphere of joyful learning.

Note from Francie 6/11/2010
I’ve just returned from Graduation – a final tribute to our 8th graders: Ajenai, Lucas, Mesa, Taylor, Max, and Ethan. We heard the 8th grade song, predictions from the 7th graders, wills from the 8th graders, Rose on piano, David’s recognition of Wendy Kerlin and George Smith’s 25 years as MES parents, and former teacher, Jodi Paloni’s, speech to the 8th graders complete with a survival kit for life after Marlboro School. All of this was planned and implemented by the students with guidance from Rachel, Tim, and parents.

Will You Use the Marlboro AfterSchool Program Next Year?
A huge thanks to Paula Lavender for marbleizing bandanas with us at AfterSchool.
We all stood in amazement watching the magic happen as each child finally put their bandana in the gel with their paint design mixture! And then we oohhhed and aaahhhed when she brought them all back to us the next day, washed and folded and beautiful as ever. Paula thank you so much for your generosity and your personality full of wonderment!
Important Notice:
We are trying to get an idea of what the enrollment will be for next year, because even though we received a generous grant from the Town of Marlboro the AfterSchool Program relies on a certain amount of incoming tuition in order to be viable.
This year I was able to creatively design the program to sustain a lower tuition base by singly staffing the small enrollment days. I hope to be able to do that again next year if it’s necessary and I am trying to get a feel for how many kids will be using the program.
Many people used the Drop-In option this year and we were happy to be able to provide that service to parents, however in order to continue that we need to have a solid tuition base.
So, if you think you will be using the program next year on a regular basis could you please email me at mindbiz101@yahoo.com with information about your expected needs as soon as possible so I can plan ahead.
It’s been a great year in AfterSchool and I look forward to another fun year!
Have a great summer, Rose

Ellen’s Bike Trip
The word is getting out that I am doing another cross-country ride. In case you want to continue geography lessons with your child this summer, here are a few details. I’ll be flying to Seattle and starting my ride in Anacortes, Washington on June 20 (in less than a month!). I’ll ride for 5 weeks finishing in Fargo, North Dakota on July 23. Next summer, I’ll finish the Northern route from Fargo to Bar Harbor, Maine (another 6 weeks). This route is 4000 miles (my last one was 3000) so it takes a little longer.
You can find my blog linked to the school website (look to the bottom, right). I’ll post every day that we have internet access. I am also fundraising for the Brattleboro Music Center and the Dana Farber Cancer Institute (in honor of my mother who died of breast cancer this year). If you’d like to contribute, you can put a check in my mailbox at school made out to the BMC or DFCI or find other options on the blog. Thanks and I hope you get out on a bike this summer too! Ellen
