On January 13th, the K/1 and 2/3 classes will be going to the Leddy Park to see “Le Patin Libre.”  The description of this exciting performance is below:

“Founded by professional figure skaters who loved the ice but hated the industry’s kitsch and sparkles, Canada’s Le Patin Libre (The Free Skate) have created something completely unique by blending modern dance, hip-hop, breakdance, and the high-speed thrill of professional skating. The attitude and energy of street dance combine with the soul and structure of contemporary dance and the tools and panache of an Olympic sport. The group exists in the exciting medium between dance, sport, and play and expands their medium into a refined performance art form. We’re looking forward to venturing out to Leddy Park for then Flynn’s first on-ice performance.”

 

Please join us for our monthly Parent Committee meeting on Tuesday, January 12th at 8:15 am. We will be discussing ways to promote Vermont Day School and planning for our spring fundraising event. More details to come!

Our students will perform the songs they have composed in music class. We hope you can join us for this special presentation by the K/1 and 2/3/4 classes!

Students will bring the donations they have collected to the Chittenden County Emergency Food Shelf in Burlington. So far, we have collected 164 pounds of food, and each day, students have been sorting, weighing and graphing the donations. We are proud of our students’ efforts and look forward to helping out families in need.

Vermont Day School is closed for winter vacation from December 23rd through January 3rd. School will resume on Monday, January 4th. Happy Holidays!

Students will travel to the Flynn to see a performance of 3 Little Birds, a Jamaican adventure story. The play is based on a children’s book written by Bob Marley’s daughter, Cedella. We are all looking forward to both the music and the story!

Vermont Day School is having a Food Drive to collect food items for the Chittenden County Emergency Food Shelf. Please bring donations to the school between December 1st and 16th. Students will sort and weigh the food as it comes in. We will deliver it to the Food Shelf at the end of the week. Contributions from the community are welcome!

All parents welcome to attend our parent committee meeting on Tuesday, December 8th at 8:15 am to help us plan all school events and celebrations, and discuss fundraising. Looking forward to seeing you then!
