Spring Clean-Up
Spring Clean-Up is a community effort to spruce up our campus in conjunction with Vermont’s Green Up Day. Families bring tools and a helpful attitude to wash windows, complete minor repairs, care for our gardens, touch up paint, and rake gravel. Students helpfully engage in these chores and recognize how their efforts lead to school improvement.
