Due to the current border crossing regulations, the Easton Recrea-

tion Department is strongly encouraging children to get a passport

card. You can apply for the card at Presque Isle or Mars Hill Post

Office. The approximate cost is $60.

Children may still cross the border (without a passport, on a school

bus) with a certified birth certificate (one that is stamped by the

town clerk and on official paper) and a permission slip. You must

get your child’s birth certificate at the Town Office/City Hall in the

town where your child was born.

Another option is to take a certified copy of your child’s birth

certificate to any USA Border Crossing & an agent will copy and

stamp with their seal.

Adults MUST have a Passport or Passport card in order to cross the

border since June 1, 2009.

All children and adults will have to show proof before boarding the

bus for trips that cross the Canadian border. Thank you for your

cooperation with this matter!

Reminder: Registrations should be sent back to the

Rec. Department via the school or dropped off at the

Town Office at your earliest convenience. If you

would like to register in person, please schedule with

Hillary. Payments must be received with your

registration form unless other arrangements have

been made. Please keep this book until the

beginning of November.

Registration Information

A registration form is included in the back of this booklet,

please return it at your first convenience to the school or the

Town Office. Some programs are right around the corner,

so time is of the essence. A release form must be on file for

ALL participants.

Payments should be made for all programs at the time of

registration. Some programs have a minimum/maximum

number of participants. A child will not be considered en-

rolled in a program until payment is made in full, unless other

arrangements have been made.

Please make checks payable to the Town of Easton.

If you would prefer to do registration in person,

please schedule a time to meet with Hillary by

calling 551-7737 or email [email protected].

Program Times

It is essential parents know the time a program begins and ends

so arrangements are made to have the child picked up on time.

Since we are a one-person department and the many programs

offered, there is often little or no time between activities. Please

do your very best to have your child picked up on time!

Discipline

If your child misbehaves or is not listening to our Recreation

Director or parent/high school volunteers while participating in

any program, the following actions will be taken:

1st Warning - Verbal warning and director will be notified.

2nd Warning - Child will be removed for the remainder of the

activity.

3rd Warning - Parent will be notified & the child may not

participate in the next scheduled day of that program.

TEE-SHIRTS

It has become a tradition to

purchase a tee-shirt as a

memento but they also serve

as a safety precaution. When

in a large group, it is very help-

ful to have all the children

(staff, parents, volunteers, etc.)

dressed in the same color to

easily keep track of everyone.

Many of you already have a tee

-shirt from this summer but if

your child does not, it is

strongly recommended that

you purchase a tee-shirt (or

two) if your child will be at-

tending field trips and outings

throughout Harvest Recess.

These are available in both

youth & adult sizes. This

year’s tee-shirt is red with a

white logo (as seen on right).

Shirts are in-stock and can be

purchased at the Town Office.

There are also a few tank tops

remaining in adults sizes. Quantities & sizes are limited.

The cost is $10.

Sizes Available

Youth X-Small 4-6

Youth Small 6-8

Youth Medium 10-12

Youth Large 14-16
