Newtown United Methodist Church in Sandy Hook will begin a new season of pasta dinners and music events on Saturday, September 6, in the churchâs fellowship hall. All proceeds of these events, which run monthly September through June, are used for the repayment of funds loaned for Wesley Hall. The public is cordially invited to join church members for what has become an evening of fellowship and community spirit.

Dinner is served from 5 to 7:50 pm with donation being $8 per adult, $7 for seniors, and $3.50 for children. Gift certificates are available.

Dinner includes fruit cup, salad with choice of dressings, pasta with choice of sauces (meatless, mild, or spicy), garlic bread, and an array of homemade desserts.

Dinner is followed at 7:45 pm by a performance of bluegrass music played by Roger Sprung and friends. The entertainment donation is $3 with dinner or $4 without. This covers all coffee, soft drinks, and snacks served during the evening from 7:45 to 10:30 pm.

The church is at 92 Church Hill Road. Entry to Fellowship Hall is through the lower parking lot, behind the building. Call 426-9998 for additional information.

I am sorry but $88.8 million dollars to educate 4030 kids is way out of line! That's over $22k per kid, used to be $8k per kid, the kids aren't getting any smarter, the administration eats all the cost. Time to cut the budget by 20% and also cut the $225k salary of the superintendent and $193k of the superintendent assistant ! You can get a lot of teachers for $400k wasted for 2 overpaid positions. Common sense should tell you that spending $2.5 million per every week for population less than 30k people is just way too high! Also voting should be done by mail, enough with these nonsensical referendums where barely 16% of voters show up. 51% voters approval should be MANDATED!

Encouraging. The town budget squeaks by but the school budget got dinged. Let the games begin.

Who have you asked that didn't know where to cut? Its easy. Ideally, you would start with section 100 of the budget but the union prevents that. So I say you turn to page 18, put it on your dart board, and start reducing the head count. It's all you can do when the union controls the budget.

Vote Yes On April 23

The people have spoken, time to sharpen your pencils. If we look at the town budget for guidance the BOE should cut the budget from 4.4% to 2.75% I find the voting results very interesting ... We have approximately 4,030 students in our town, with a published 12:1 ratio which means we have 335 teachers. I would love to know the actual number if someone knows. If we account for their spouses that gets us very close to the number of people who voted yes for the budget and wished it would be higher (729).

Beth sorry for your loss Scott always talked about how much you loved your mom ❤️ Prayers for you and your family Gauvin Family
