Multicultural May Speakers

On Monday, VUES had some visitors for Multicultural May.  Three students from Middlebury College volunteered their time to speak about different countries.   Jeff talked about Hong Kong.  We learned many facts including Hong Kong has more than 7 million people!  Maria talked about Australia.  Australia has many interesting animals and customs.  Sophia talked about Spain.  We learned about the different food that people enjoy in Spain.  At the end of the visit,  we sang songs and ate Australian cookies.

3rd Grade Bake Sale

Last week both 3rd grades had a terrific bake sale at the Vergennnes Union Elementary School. We made $198. A week later, the 3rd grades walked to Shaws from VUES. We used the money from the bake sale to buy different food products.  When we were done we went to the John Graham Shelter and donated the food. The people at the shelter were really nice and happy because we brought food. Zeb thought, “ It was fun.” Ryley thought, “ Donating food to The John Graham Shelter was a good idea.” Alex thought, “ It was tiring walking over, but fun.”
