Happy Monday, news and politics geeks. We're getting to crunch time in the Statehouse, Burlington's mayor is going back to school, and Seven Days is running this year's Vermont Brew Bracket — a subject near and dear to many of your hearts, we know. Here's what you should add to the calendar.

If you have an event you want to see on next week's calendar, email Andy Bromage with details.

Monday, March 18

9:45 a.m.: As I write this, Burlington Mayor Miro Weinberger is moving his office to Burlington High School. He'll be there all week to connect with students and teachers and promote something called the Partnership for Change, and we'll highlight more of the interesting events in this here post.

6 p.m.: The Burlington Board of Finance and City Council hold their Monday meetings at Burlington High School.

All day: It's going to snow.

All day through Friday: Lt. Gov. Phil Scott spends the rest of the week at National Lt. Governors’ Association Federal-State Relations Meeting in Washington, D.C.

7:45 a.m.: Weinberger plays pickup basketball in the BHS gym. We see him as a ball-distributing point- guard type of player.

8 a.m.: After he wipes off the sweat, Weinberger hosts his weekly mayoral coffee klatch at the BHS cafeteria this week.

1:30 p.m.: Mayor Week at Burlington High School ends with "Closing Ceremonies" (yes, really) and a Town Hall-style meeting in the school's auditorium.
