Welcome to the 2019/20 School Year
The SVS PTO is pleased to welcome parents, guardians, and educators to celebrate the start of the new school year on Friday, September 13, 2019, from 6 PM - 9 PM at Hopkins Vineyard for the Second Annual SVS PTO Taste of the Region Wine Tasting & SVS Community Get Together.
The first annual Taste of the Region held in September 2018 was a dynamic evening with over 125 adults from the Region 12 community of Bridgewater, Roxbury, and Washington attending. Thanks to our sponsors, silent auction donors, and donations received from local cafes and restaurants we raised nearly $5,000 to support Shepaug Valley School (SVS) Student activities, clubs, and events.
With your help, we hope to make this year's event even bigger as we welcome parents and guardians from the towns of Bethel, Brookfield, Danbury, New Milford, New Fairfield, Newtown, and Sherman to our school for the opening of the Shepaug AgriScience Academy.
We hope you will join us in celebrating all our region has to offer by buying tickets to this event. Tickets can be purchased online using a credit card by clicking here - or - tickets can be purchased by check payable to SVS PTO and mailed to SVS PTO TOTR at 159 School Street, Washington, CT 06793. This event is open to adults ages 21 years of age and older.
