Join us for our all school production of “Telling Tales”, a collection of folktales from around the world. Students will participate in all aspects of putting on a play performance, from learning lines and music to creating costumes and scenery. Performances will take place at the Black Box Theater at Main Street Landing on Friday, February 22nd at 12:30 pm and 3 pm.

Please join us for morning coffee (Friday, November 9th at 9 am) and an opportunity to learn about project-based learning! The informational talk will be co-led by Sage Bagnato, Head of School, and Erin Capps, Curriculum Coordinator and 4/5 Teacher. Project-based learning is a unique approach to curriculum design that challenges learners to participate in their own learning by asking them to investigate a relevant and complex question or problem. The benefits of PBL are far-reaching and well documented by research. Come to this talk to learn more! RSVPs kindly requested to Libby Macdonald (lmacdonald@vtdayschool.org).
