We are so excited to welcome our students and families for the first day of the 2024-2025 school year on Wednesday, August 28th!

Hosmer Point here we come! 2nd/3rd grade students will go to Hosmer Point Camp in Craftsbury Commons, Vermont for a “lateover”, while our 4th-8th graders will spend two nights. Students will enjoy swimming, paddleboarding, outdoor games and challenges, farm and garden, campfires and more! It is definitely a highlight of our school year together!

On June 3rd and 4th, the VDS 8th graders will present their Capstone projects. Capstone projects are a culmination of project-based learning at VDS. Working with an advisor, each 8th grade researches a topic of personal interest,  conducts interview with real-world experts, and creates a related project that creates an impact. Current topics include: gender equity in sports, adaptive skiing, diversity in sailing, childhood cancer and gun control (just to name a few!). VDS community members are invited to hear the 8th grade present their projects in the Community Room!

Join us for the VDS annual Spring Carnival, a festive year end celebration for all! There will be carnival games, tasty treats, face painting, music, bounce house and the infamous dunk tank (dunk your teachers and the 8th graders!). Thank you to VDS parents who have helped plan this fun celebration!

A highlight of the school year, Music Cabaret is coming up on Tuesday, June 11th! Students are invited to showcase their talents with songs, dance, magic tricks and more! Acts will be practiced with Kendra beforehand, VDS music and theater teacher extraordinaire. Get ready for a fun filled afternoon of talent and awe as VDS PreK-8th graders take the stage!
