DUE TO THE 4TH GRADE TRACK MEET ON THURSDAY, JUNE 4TH WE WILL NOT BE BIKING IN PE ON THIS DAY.

Dear 4th Grade Parents/Guardians,

This year will be the 11th annual 4th Grade MMU Invitational Track Meet. The event will be held at MMU on Thursday, June 4th (with a rain date of Friday, June 5th).  Fourth grade scholars from Richmond, Jericho, Underhill, Huntington, and Bolton will be participating in the track meet.  The meet is a way for scholars to begin to build relationships with their future classmates at BRMS and CHMS while promoting physical activity. All the elementary P.E. Teachers in the district would greatly appreciate seeing you either as a spectator or as a volunteer. The approximate time of the track meet will be 9:00am-1:00pm at the MMU track.  Please see the second page for Track Meet Schedule.

We will begin training for the track events in P.E.  Your child will choose to participate in one running event and one field event.   Each child will also be part of a 4 X 100 meter relay team.  The running events will have the following distances: 50, 100, 200, or  400 meters.  The field events will be the softball throw, running long jump, and the high jump.  

A bag lunch will be provided by BPMS. Please make sure your child has a water bottle, and apply sunscreen and bug spray at home.

We’re excited to announce the launch of “Confident Kids”—a new campaign encouraging parents and caregivers to use supportive, everyday language about food, bodies, and movement to help children build confidence and develop healthy relationships with food and movement.  

As part of a new collaboration from the Vermont Departments of Health, Mental Health, and the Statewide Eating Disorders Workgroup, the “Confident Kids” web page offers resources to help adults learn how the language we use in everyday conversations can contribute to body dissatisfaction and low self-esteem. It also offers helpful language tips that adults can use to change the conversation.    

To help you share this message, we’ve created ready-to-use print and digital materials. 

• Digital toolkit: Sample newsletter/email copy, social media posts, and printable flyers/posters – Attached. Linked images can be downloaded through April 2027.  

• Printed Flyers: You can request professionally printed flyers while supplies last or until Monday, 5/11: "Confident Kids" Flyer Request  – Fill out form. 

For additional resources, visit the campaign website: HealthVermont.gov/ConfidentKids. Comments and questions about the campaign can be sent to ahs.vdhfchconfidentkids@vermont.gov.
