Green Up Day… a Little Early!

While the official Green Up Day brought classic Vermont weekend rain, our sunny Friday was perfect for some early spring cleaning! Ms. Santaw's 1st graders rolled up their sleeves and took on the playground, picking up trash and making our school grounds shine.

They filled bags with all kinds of junk (see photo for the proof!) and took real pride in caring for their space. Way to lead the way, first grade—we’re so proud of your hard work and community spirit!

Teacher Appreciation Week

This week, we’re showering our teachers with love and gratitude during Teacher Appreciation Week! Our theme is “Thanks for Helping Me Grow”—a nod to the incredible care, guidance, and inspiration our educators give our students every day.

To help your child be part of the celebration, we’ve sent home a couple of special extras:
  • A “Thanks for Helping Me Grow” worksheet where your child can share a few heartfelt (and likely adorable) reflections
  • Blank thank-you notes you or your child can personalize—drawings, jokes, or simple “thank yous” are all welcome!

Rainy Day Vibes & May Moments

May has arrived with its usual mix of sunshine and showers—perfect for rain boots, puddle jumping, and cozy indoor play. A few friendly reminders:

Send those layers! Our weather changes faster than a kindergartener’s snack preferences. Please keep sending your child in with a light jacket and appropriate footwear.

Extra clothes: Especially for our younger students—wet playgrounds and enthusiastic recess can mean outfit changes!

Indoor fun: Rainy days don’t stop us! We keep brains and bodies moving with indoor recess games, movement breaks, and creative learning.

Need rainy day inspiration? Try this:

  • Read together under a blanket fort
  • Play “school” and let your child be the teacher
  • Write a silly story together and illustrate it
  • Try a screen-free dance party in the kitchen—bonus points for rain-themed songs!
