Thanks to a federal grant, our early education students now have a new Trike Merry-Go-Round, designed to enhance their motor skills and physical development. Unveiled this week at CES, with a special shoutout to the maintenance department for their diligent installation, the new equipment has quickly become a hit with our preschoolers!
Fourth graders unleash their inner scientists! These young explorers have been delving into the world of fish and their Vermont habitats. For their project, they were tasked with creating a completely new species of fish using everyday household materials. Each student's unique creation was accompanied by a detailed report, showcasing their creativity and imagination. To wrap it up, they presented their fish to the class, sharing their innovative designs and newfound knowledge. A big thanks to Mr. Canty for leading such a fun and educational experience!
