Good morning, friends!

I thought it could be good to remind you that after today, there is no school in BPS until April 25!

I wasn’t able to attend Ways & Means last night, but I have it on good authority they voted in favor of adding one position each to the Recreation and Planning Department budgets for next year. Town Meeting still has to vote to approve these budgets in May, but this recommendation provides guidance to Town Meeting.

Also, middle school orientation was last night. All you parents of incoming 6th graders, I just have one thing to say:

Okay, two things. School starts on August 29, despite what my uncaffeinated brain made me say last night.

All the more reason to buy me a coffee. ☕️

Couple other things I thought it would be cool to mention:

There’s a Garden Club in Burlington!
That textile pick-up program from Big Brothers-Big Sisters we talked about a few weeks ago is here! Learn more at BCAT.
There’s a town-wide yard sale on April 30! See the flyer below.
