Healthy Lamoille Valley

We’re so excited for this event!

Lamoille North Supervisory Union & School District has scheduled its first community event of the school year, and it's going to be a good one!

Lamoille North Supervisory Union is honored to partner with The Flynn to host an exciting and culturally diverse event here in our district.

On Thursday, September 4th, the Lamoille Union/GMTCC campus will host 'Playing Fields' - a night of education and entertainment. Plan to bring a blanket or lawn chair and join us on the Lamoille Union softball field for a light BBQ dinner and the show. Join us at 5:15 pm for food. The performance starts at 6:00 pm!

The Playing Fields Project is a free, back-to-school celebration that travels to school districts around Vermont. The project invites communities to gather together for joyful and awe-inspiring performances on school fields. Everyone is invited to join the fun!

The 2025 'Playing Fields' series will feature Compagnie OFF of France. Founded in the Centre-Val de Loire region of France in 1986 by Philippe Frelson, Compagnie OFF presents Les Girafes, a monumental street show adapted for school fields featuring puppetry, music, and special effects. Influenced by clowns, vaudeville, and circus arts, the show is perfect for family members of all ages and will be a night that children and parents alike will remember and talk about for the rest of the school year.

Be sure to join us on the LU/GMTCC Campus on Thursday, September 4th, at 5:15 pm for food and the show!

It is a privilege to help them learn, grow, and succeed, and we are inspired daily by their resilience and their dreams for a brighter tomorrow.
