Meal Train for Matt Yandow
If you know the Yandows (Amy, Mark, Matt, and Mackenzie), you may know that their son Matthew (age 15) had a stroke on October 21, and is now recovering. I have set up a meal train to support Matthew and his family. The link is here if you would like to sign up for a meal. ~AmandaTheater Festival Reminders~Thursday, November 9th

Polar Express 2018
Saturday, December 8th from 3:30 - 8:00 pm
Swift House has a long tradition in helping with The Polar Express, which raises over $100,000 each year for the Vermont Children's Trust Foundation. Last year we brought 70 elves to the event. We will meet at the downtown Burlington train station. Shirts and elf hats are provided if needed. Gary Howard, our beloved retired Swift Facilitator, will be the "Santa" on this day. Please note that we need all elves to stay through the entire shift.
Click here to sign up. Sign up by November 9th to secure your spot and reserve a shirt.
Please complete the form for each elf in your family so we get the proper head count. Once you have entered one name you will be provided a link to submit another response. Swiftie friends and alumni are welcome to come along. Parents, you make for great elves, too!
Fundraisers
We raised $2500 at Fun Night! Thank you again for all of the parent and student work that went into this evening. The energy was super positive with everyone pitching in.Bottles and Cans help needed – our next official fundraiser if December 1st bottle drive – HOWEVER – we have been granted permission to collect the current bottles and cans that are in the bin behind the school and use that money towards the trip. I need a few folks to coordinate emptying the bin and bringing to Essex Beverage to redeem. There is supposedly quite a lot in there as of now. Is anyone willing/able to take this on? Please let me know ASAP. ~Shelly Masson
We also have had requests for pickups on Beartown Road before the date of the bottle drive. Please let us know if you can help out. ~Amy Skapof
