PICTURES AND REPORTS
WALKING WEDNESDAY RESULTS We had a solid turnout for Walking Wednesday with 215 total - almost 200 of those were students. Team Triumph ruled the learning communities with 27 walkers and bikers. If they can keep up their enthusiasm, they will be tough to beat once the walking contest starts officially next week.

The weather was amazing - sunny with a light breeze and temperatures in the upper 60s.
  NAVIGATORS LOOKED FOR SIGNS OF SPRING Ms. Audette's Pre-K students toured the perimeter of the school building looking for signs of spring. Each child had a clipboard with items to check off when they spotted it. This was a serious and yet joyful task. 5-2-2018
USING A GLOBE
It may seem a little old fashioned but checking out a globe can be a wonderful way to visualize where states and countries are in relation to the rest of the world. Here students searched for little Vermont tucked into the east coast of the United States of America.
 
THE NEW SCHOOL SIGN
Students from HOPE (Hands-On Practical Education) installed the beautiful new school sign they had built in front of the school. THANK YOU HOPE!
