Sixth graders got a hands-on social studies lesson when they were tasked with creating their own cave paintings on the walls of UVMS. As the culminating activity after learning about early humans during the Stone Age students had to scavenge outdoors for materials to create a paint brush.  Then using their brush, they worked on two paintings: one in the style of early humans and one for the modern day. Their teachers Matt Fiedler & Michelle Simonetty from Team 1 and Matt Reilly & Amanda Clemenza from Team 2 made the experience extra fun by dressing up in costume for the event.

Friday, Oct. 17, UVMS ended the week with some fun: holding an activity period for the entire building. Students enjoyed an inflatables race featuring faculty and staff, they earned for supporting the PTA’s Coin Wars fundraiser and surpassing the goal by raising $1,934.02! It was a beautiful day to spend a little extra time outside, and everyone had a blast!
