It is with great pleasure that we open the pond to skating, starting tomorrow (January 25, 2014). The weather has been perfect and the Grounds Crew has worked diligently in preparing the ice for the WNS community to use. Below please find the “Pond Winter Use Policy”. The policy is intended to keep everyone who chooses to use the ice safe. Please read the policy and understand where the boundaries are for the area that is to be used. It is imperative that you stay within the designated boundaries. Anyone outside the boundaries will be subject to disciplinary action.
Good morning. Great to see everyone on this nice winter morning. Things to keep in mind:
Long Weekend Travel forms due today!
Don’t get a unit for having it in late.
If you plan to be here over long weekend come see Mr. Spearing to talk about activities.
If interested in lifeguarding certification, please see me as soon as possible to coordinate with valley swim school and our pool
Good to have for summer jobs and to help out at our pool.

This Friday, the boys varsity basketball team will take on Deerfield Academy. Because Deerfield’s colors are green and white, the goal is for there to be a “Blue Out” in the stands—Williston fans are encouraged to wear blue.
The theme of the boys varsity basketball team’s 6:30 p.m. game on Friday night against Deerfield is “The Best wear Blue.”
