Hello everyone,

Due to the weather, area public schools are having delayed openings this morning and calls have been coming in about our opening time. As of this moment, we will also have a delayed opening. The building will open at 10 am. All classes that are scheduled to begin prior to 10:45 am are canceled. As always, we hope that you will all use your best discretion when traveling to EWoW, as road conditions and ice accumulations differ widely for our community members, many of whom are traveling from up to an hour away.

Be safe out there!

Good morning!

Another ice storm is predicted for this afternoon. So we are closed, along with everything else in the state.

There is great news, though! I’ve been looking at the extended forecast. It’s going to be gorgeous for your spring break! High temperatures, sunshine.

In the meantime, the rest of this week will be a little bit rainy, but no more freezing temperatures, and hopefully everyone will be able to focus on their final papers and projects that are due this week.

It’s actually kind of perfect if you think about it. A day today to get your work done, rain this week to help you focus, gorgeous weather for your break.

OK, we're gonna cancel for tomorrow. Schools across Connecticut are split 50-50, with delays and closures. It's still snowing here at my house, but I'm mostly concerned about the increased wind gusts tonight moving snow around coupled with incredibly low temperatures tomorrow.

We have a few teachers who need more time to dig out in the morning, and one teacher who’s had things pushed back because of morning delays, making afternoon classes unmanageable.

So there it is. Please be careful tomorrow. These are pretty dangerous conditions for everybody.  Take it slow.

See you all bright and early on Wednesday. Breakfast is on me… bagels, hot cocoa, breakfast sandwiches, hashbrowns. ;-)

Hello Everyone,

There is an excessive amount of salt and dirt from the roads coming into the house, along with melting snow and ice. Students and staff are cleaning off their shoes as much as they can to combat this but our building staff is struggling to keep up with the extra cleaning throughout the day. Starting tomorrow, we are asking that EVERYONE remove their shoes in the garage before entering the building. Please DO NOT WEAR JUST SOCKS. Slippers or 'indoor' shoes are all fine. After the winter break, there will be an organized station set up to store the outdoor shoes but for now shoes can be placed in a space where it doesn't block the staircase into the kitchen.

Thank you for your attention!

¡Hola! 

As many of you know, I am from Puerto Rico, and I make "Coquito" for the Holiday Season. If you enjoyed it before, you'll be glad to know you can buy a few bottles. If you missed it, now is the chance to try it, if you don't mind. If you need to know what it is, here we go...

"Coquito" is a Spanish word that translates to "little coconut." In Puerto Rico, we start our Holiday Season with this creamy drink. It's part of every celebration from Thanksgiving to the end of January. The ingredients are:

• Coconut milk

• Condensed milk

Hello EWoW!

We have a southwestern theme going for lunches the next couple of days.

• Lunch tomorrow, Monday, will be a Taco Bar prepared by the WYSe students!  Delicious.

• Lunch on Tuesday will be chili with shredded chicken, a big salad, and all the fixings.

The rest of the week: turkey stew on Wednesday, a Loaded Baked Potato Bar on Thursday, and Roast Chicken and Mashed Potatoes on Friday.  Everything is also noted on your calendars and on the general calendar.

Stay warm!  See you tomorrow morning!

Hello EWoW!

Tomorrow is forecast to be windy and cold!  We are making the call now to cancel Outdoor Education. 

While we are very sad to cancel,  we feel temps in the mid-30s with a real-feel in the 20s due to windy conditions are only acceptable for skiing and snowboarding, where movement keeps you warm until you arrive at the promised land of hot cocoa at the base of the mountain. ;)

We will see everyone on Tuesday!

We have two requests for you ...

1) Please reply to let us know this communication has been received.

This is my favorite hike in the area! One of the most scenic spots in Litchfield County, so bring your cameras and parents may want to stay and check it out for a little bit. The town of Kent has a lot to offer, including a public library, lots of coffee shops/bakeries/bistros, shops, etc. 45 on Main coffee and ice cream may be a great spot for a post hike trip with the kids to celebrate a great trimester of Outdoor Education. 

This will likely be our last hike for the fall term. 

Park at the parking lot before the covered bridge. 248 Bull's Bridge Rod, Kent, CT. The covered bridge is one way traffic at a time. 

It will be windy and cold but sunny, wear windproof layers, boots, hat, gloves. Bring food, water, and any and all necessary medical supplies.

We will hike about 2-3 miles along the…
