More to come about this year’s community partner. MLK Jr. Day is a day “on” for VDS students!

CLIC Week (Create, Learn, Innovate and Celebrate) is an all-school event during which students participate in a project with a unified theme. They are unique to Vermont Day School and take place three times a year in the Fall, Winter and Spring.

Past CLIC Week projects have included:

• Compost Creation: Working with the Education Coordinator from Chittenden Solid Waste District to build a compost bin and create a school-wide compost system.
• Snowboard Design: Partnering with Burton Snowboards to re-design and improve snowboard prototypes.
• Musical Play Production: Learning music and choreography for an all school play, in addition to designing the costumes and building the set.
• Green Chemistry: Partnering with Seventh Generation to create a line of sustainable household products for youth.
• Fair Trade: Working with Lake Champlain Chocolates to develop educational materials to teach others about the importance of fair trade certification.
• Pints with a Purpose: Partnering with Ben and Jerry’s to develop a new ice cream flavor that promotes an environmental or social issue.
• Farm to Table: Creating a farm to table experience from start to finish, including harvesting the vegetables from a local farm, visiting The Guild Tavern to learn from their Chef and creating recipes with fresh and local ingredients.

Giving Tuesday is on November 30.

We are excited to announce that we have created a completely original play with the grade 4/5 students.  We are working on lines, characters, on the creation of props and set! They can’t wait to perform it for students and parents!

Each year the 4/5 class manages the food drive for Vermont Day School. All the food is donated to the Shelburne Food Shelf. In years past we have set goals and achieved more than 1,000 lbs of food donated. Thank you for your support and participation.

The Gingerbread Festival and Structure Competition has been a VDS tradition for many years. It is a festive way to celebrate the season and to foster creativity and community. We hope that your family will participate! This year’s Gingerbread Fest will take place on Friday, December 10th.
