The NHS Blue & Gold Booster Club along with Sandy Hook Wine & Liquor invite all Newtown residents and Newtown High School alumni to taste extraordinary red and white wines, sample fine appetizers, and support the revitalization of the NHS Blue & Gold Stadium by attending a Blue & Gold Wine Fundraiser on Saturday, November 12, from 6:30 to 9:30 pm at the Edmund Town Hall gymnasium.

The event will raise funds for the grassroots drive to make significant renovations and improvements to Newtown High Schoolâs Blue & Gold Stadium.Â These improvements, which will include the installation of durable, high-performance artificial turf as well as additional bathrooms, increased seating and equipment storage space, will benefit the high school teams and band and all of Newtownâs youth sports leagues, as well as the Relay For Life at no cost to taxpayers.

Fifty specially selected wines provided by eight Connecticut wine distributors, hors dâoeuvres prepared by NHS culinary students, and chamber music from an NHS ensemble will highlight the event, which is sponsored by Sandy Hook Wine & Liquor. Tickets purchased by November 3 are available for a tax-deductible contribution of $45/couple, $25/single.

Tickets may be purchased at Sandy Hook Wine & Liquor or the Snack Shack at NHS Stadium during upcoming events. Call 270-9112 to reserve tickets, or download a reservation form at the NHS Blue & Gold Booster website at www.nhsblueandgold.com, and return it with your donation.Â

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!

Referendum Results: Split Decision

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).
