Before Thanksgiving, UME second graders held their own Macy's-inspired balloon parade! Students learned about immigration and cultural traditions. They created balloons and wrote persuasive paragraphs about them, using brainstorming and peer editing.
NMC PreK celebrated Friendsgiving the Monday before Thanksgiving break. Each child brought a special dish to share, and we gathered around a large table adorned with a tablecloth, fall decorations, and the children's turkey paintings. Together, we baked a delicious gluten-free and vegan pumpkin bread that tasted just like pumpkin pie.
To commemorate the occasion, each family shared a favorite recipe, and I compiled a Friendsgiving PreK Cookbook for the children to take home. We also created a Thankful Quilt, with each child designing a square to express their gratitude. The quilt now proudly hangs on our bulletin board.
Inspired by the story "Turkey Trouble," the children had a blast disguising a turkey to evade the farmer. Their creative ideas were truly impressive!

Our wonderful Foods Service Team just got a brand new food cart! The cart contains hot and cold food wells and plenty of space for an assortment of breakfast foods.
Since last year, our Food Service Team has been bringing breakfast upstairs to our middle school students. The team decided to do this so that students no longer had to race to the cafeteria before class in the morning. Now, breakfast is delivered right to their classroom! As a result, breakfast participation has gone up substantially, which means that students are fueling up in the morning and prepared to learn!
Thank you to our Food Service Team, and our amazing Director of Food Services, Jonathan Duerr!

Fifth-grade students have been studying biomes and the ecosystems that exist within them. Using the landforms created by the fourth graders, the fifth graders researched the environment of their assigned biome and identified the types of producers, consumers, and decomposers that live there. Pictured are students creating models of the plants and animals that inhabit their biome. This collaborative project between the fourth and fifth graders has been a great learning experience, and we can't wait to see the final results!

Mount Everett AP Spanish students traveled to Albany for a cultural immersion experience, first attending a captivating Flamenco dance performance and then savoring authentic Colombian cuisine at a traditional restaurant.
The NMC Pre-K class had a wonderful time on their first field trip! They visited the town library where Mrs. O'Brien read them a captivating story. The children also had the opportunity to choose books to explore.
Next, the class strolled over to the Mill River Post Office. There, they learned how to buy a stamp and mail a letter to their own homes. The excitement was palpable as they sent their letters on their way.
The adventure continued at the Mill River General Store. Maddie, the kind owner, gave the children a tour and even gave them special treats. They learned about local honey and other products made from it. The children are eagerly anticipating a visit to the farm in the spring.
