Welcome to the first School Showcase of 2022!  This week, we find ourselves in BCEMS Art Teacher Kate Hawley's kindergarten class.  As we know, the last week and a half has been incredibly challenging for our school community, but I found spending a half-hour with Ms. Hawley's group of six-year-olds the perfect answer to all of my woes!  I think you will too.

This week's School Showcase takes us to the Spaulding High School stage where we got to spend time with the SHS Drama Club.  SHS Social Studies teacher and Drama Club Director, Katie St. Raymond, brought the cast and crew together to meet with us, and it was a highly entertaining visit!  The Drama Club's production of Alice In Wonderland earlier in December was a real treat for those of us who got to see it, and these talented students worked incredibly hard to put on a wonderful show!  A spring performance will be announced soon, and you won't want to miss it.

This week's school showcase comes from Veronica Eldred's 2nd Grade Classroom at BTMES, and we had a great visit! Ms. Eldred's students have been spending time talking about gratitude and things they are thankful for, and they were very eager to share their thoughts with us.

This week's School Showcase takes us to the Barre Town Middle and Elementary School Community Garden. Students from the Building Trades Program at the Central Vermont Career Center, led by instructor Dimitri Kolomeitsev, are working on upgrading and reconstructing the fencing and structures in the garden, and they are doing excellent work!
