Rutland Herald District Highlight

Fifth graders worked in teams, and enjoyed an architectural STEM challenge that involved the creation of gingerbread houses. Everyone did a great job!










While in Burlington, one of our 4th graders had the chance to meet musician Noah Kahan!! Finn showed him some dance moves, and in exchange Noah gave him a cool present, along with telling Finn that if he ever attended one of his concerts he would call him up on stage!

Today, 4th graders read winter themed books with 5th graders. They had an excellent time!








A big THANKS to our CSO for sponsoring Friday's Craft Bazaar for our students! Thank you to all who volunteered their time and those who donated items!
