4/5's exhibition gallery walkthrough with parents and staff
Dear Families,
Today is Rachel’s last day as our admin assistant. We wish her well! In her new district role, we hope to see her on a weekly basis at WES.
PYP Exhibition: The 5th grade Exhibition presentations Monday and Tuesday evening were excellent. They clearly have served as a rite of passage. It was evident that each student had researched their topic and worked diligently to communicate their understanding clearly and fluently. As an audience member I came away with a lot of new knowledge and curiosity. Thanks to the students - Mac Boulanger, Finn Castle, Maiya Drake, Silas Gorton, Jade Hance, August Wilhelm - and Kat Yepez for all they put into these presentations.
Exhibition Action Projects:
From Makai Nurok: I am doing a PYP Exhibition project right now. Exhibition is where 4th/5th graders research about the 17 UN Sustainability Goals. My topic is sustainable cities. My action project is a bike- to/from-school day to be held on 4/30/26 (5/1/26 rain date). Please don’t feel pressured to have your child take part and only allow them to participate if you feel your route to school is safe and your child’s bicycle riding skill is focused, strong and road worthy. Parents will need to bike with their child or identify a designated adult to accompany them. Please look for the permission slip which will be going out Monday, April 27.
From Silas Gorton:This year I studied hunger for a project and I was surprised by how many people are facing hunger worldwide, so I decided to host a food drive at Weybridge Elementary School, April 27th-May 8th.

VTCAP update: Everyone has completed the assessments! It was pretty impressive to witness how game and serious the students were as they went about working on them.
