Principal's Note
Happy Friday!
This week really felt like the old saying "In like a Lion, out like a Lamb". We started the week with snow, and felt sunshine and warmth by the end. Our students experienced two very exciting opportunities this week, and it was filled with laughter, joy and learning.
On Tuesday, Paiton Stuart from Burlington Taiko came for a one-day workshop. He showed the parts of the drum, taught a song, and answered questions to each class. We LOVED getting to use the drums and learned so much together. This incredible day was possible from an ACCEF (Addison County Educational Enrichment Fund) Grant, Shoreham PTF, and a generous private donor! A HUGE thank you goes to our librarian, Abby Adams for doing the leg work to set this up for SES.
On Thursday and Friday kids enjoyed learning about the upcoming Solar Eclipse happening in our region on Monday, April 8th. Amy Clapp, of Salisbury Elementary School, wrote a grant to bring a traveling exhibit from ECHO Science Center to all of the students in ACSD. We explored hands-on models of the eclipse and various aspects of the science of our solar system. Among those tools were solar eclipse glasses, a projection telescope, and solar binoculars. In addition, students learned about the importance of protecting your eyes and vision during eclipse viewing by using appropriate tools. Every student in ACSD will receive a pair of solar eclipse glasses to keep in the week before the solar eclipse. Ms. Pam & Ms. Abby are to thank for their organization and leadership on this project at Shoreham.
I am looking forward to bringing more experiences to Shoreham in the coming months!
Best,
