For their Winter CLIC week, students worked on all aspects of a play production, including rehearsing lines and music, learning choreography, designing sets, creating costumes and supporting one another in all steps of this process! The week culminated on Friday, February 22nd, when Vermont Day School students put on a sensational performance of “Tellin’ Tales”, a series of folktales from around the world adapted by our Music and Theater Teacher, Kendra Gratton.

We are excited to announce a new partnership with the Vermont Academy of Science and Engineering (VASE) Hands-on Science and Technology Grant program. VDS was recently awarded a grant to expand our middle school FIRST Lego League team.

We are thrilled to announce initial plans to build an addition on to our current school building. This will allow us to continue to grow intentionally, while staying at our current, beloved location. Our new space will include a suite of new classrooms, a STEM lab, and a multi-use flex space for gatherings, presentations, lunch and music/band. Check back in for updates on our progress!

Thank to our community for all the generous donation to our “Healthy Food and Smiles Drive!’ In total, Vermont Day School collected 722 pounds of food and dental products. The contributions were delivered to the Food Shelf by our 4th/5th grade class, who organized the drive.

Our community celebrated the 3rd annual Gingerbread Festival on Sunday, December 16th. Participants enjoyed the variety of gingerbread themed activities, including the gingerbread house making, life-sized Candyland game and arts and crafts. Congratulations to all the participants and winners who entered in the annual Gingerbread Structure Building contest. Thank you to our parents volunteers for helping to organize this fun and festive event!
