News and Events
Celebrating Milestones – PreK and 8th Grade Graduation!
This Spring, we celebrated major milestones for two of our student groups: PreK students moving on to Kindergarten, and middle schoolers moving on to high school!
VDS partners with Vermont Green FC for CLIC Week
For Spring CLIC Week, Vermont Day School partnered with Vermont Green Football Club. Our driving question was: How can Vermont Green FC engage the local youth community?
Our CLIC week started with a visit and presentation from Sam Glickman, Co-Founder of Vermont Green FC, to provide us with background on the organization and our challenge for the week. Next, students worked collaboratively in groups to generate year long and game days ideas to increase youth participation. On Friday, our students groups had the opportunity to present their ideas to Mr. Glickman and Vermont Green FC interns.
This CLIC Week project was an impactful learning opportunity for our students, and we hope that we provided Vermont Green FC with some helpful and creative ideas! Go Green!
Spring Carnival & Music Cabaret!
The end of the school year is marked by two of our most fun traditions – Music Cabaret and Spring Carnival! Music Cabaret was hosted by our very own Kendra Gratton and Hallie Carpenter. Students and teachers took the stage to show their talents in Irish dance, singing, magic, stunts, jokes and more! All the acts were impressive and it was so much fun to cheer on our classmates and teachers!
Following Cabaret, we celebrated our annual Spring Carnival. Families enjoyed carnival games, prizes, bouncy house face painting and the infamous dunk tank, where we had the chance to dunk our teachers, Head of School and 8th grade graduates!
