• Host Families REALLY(!) Needed for All-State Musical Festival: 

U-32 and MHS are teaming up to host the 92nd All State Music Festival this year. It's a pretty big honor, but a large undertaking for our small community! We need to find 380 beds in the greater Montpelier area for Vermont High School musicians outside of a 30 mile radius from U-32. It's quite a daunting task, so any help would be greatly appreciated. The festival is May 9-11th, 2019. You can help by sharing this with the community and hosting if you're able! Host families do not need to have kids at U-32 or MHS...empty nesters, retired folks, music lovers, etc. All are welcome to apply. Information and requirements are as follows:

• Dates: May 9-11
• Location: U-32
• Provide: place to sleep (bed, sofa-bed, air mattress, camping pads etc), breakfast, a few snacks for the day and transportation to and from school. Lunch and dinner provided by U-32 
• Complete: Background Check
• Questions? Contact Choir Teacher, Molly Clark mollyclark@mpsvt.org
