Join us on Saturday, December 7th from 8:30 to 11:30 AM! Bring your hungry tummies, good cheer, and bidding energy to the Sustainability Academy’s 13th Annual Pancake Breakfast & Silent Auction.

Arrive early and stay long – our breakfast features delicious pancakes with maple syrup, local cheese, coffee (of course!), and let’s not forget our homemade applesauce from our first graders. Our silent auction features high quality handmade goods and local Vermont products and services.

This event is a perfect opportunity to gather with friends and family, support our school community and the nation’s first sustainability-themed elementary school, and work on any holiday shopping. We look forward to seeing you there!

Suggested donations: $6/adults, $4/kids ages 3-12, $20/family. Kids 2 and under are free.

Starting Wednesday, December 4th  at 8:10am the preschoolers invite SA families to warm up with FREE gently used winter clothing for all ages.  Meet us in the 1st floor hallway.

The Annual Bike Bonanza will be held in the SA auditorium on Saturday Dec 14th from 10am- 12pm. The Bike Bonanza is an event put on by Old Spokes Home bike shop where students from income-eligible families can come and find the perfect bike for them. Details about registration coming soon. If you have questions, please reach out to Tom Schoorlemmer at Old Spokes Home at toms@oldspokeshome.com

Come join us for school-community style dining in the school cafeteria on Wednesday December 4th! Students will be encouraged to help themselves to appropriate portions of their lunch while engaging in conversation with peers, family members and teachers.  If any family members would like to eat a school lunch – it is a great deal at $4.00/meal.  Exact change is greatly appreciated.

We are looking for volunteers to help students during this event. If you can help please call the main office at 802-864-8480 to sign up.
