As part of their global studies unit on the world and global citizenship, the K/1 class made panda magnets and paperweights to sell at the Spring Carnival. They also made bookmarks to explain why pandas are endangered and what we can do to help. They are hoping to raise funds to adopt a panda though the World Wildlife Fund.

Vermont Day School’s 1st annual Spring Carnival was a huge success! Thank you to our families and teachers for making fun and creative booths and games for all to enjoy. A shout out to our Parent Committee for organizing the event, to the many local businesses for donating raffle items and to our Gold and Silver sponsors: Tapia & Huckabay, Dunkiel Saunders, Burton Snowboards, NFP Select Design, Stride Creative, Healthy Living, Vermont Roads and Fields, Smugglers Notch, and Vermont Federal Credit Union. The Carnival raised funds for our Financial Aid program and will help make Vermont Day School education more accessible to students in our community!

As part of their Astronomy unit, STEM students welcomed a guest presenter from the Vermont Astronomical Society, Jack St. Louis, last week. Students had the opportunity to launch rockets and view the sun’s surface features through a specially designed telescope.

Thank you to all our hardworking parent, student, sibling and teacher volunteers for greening-up our school! It was a fun and productive morning. The new beds, flowers, shrubs, and compost top all look spectacular and will be enjoyed by our community for a long time to come.
