Members of our high school and middle school Queer Straight Alliance (QSA) had a fantastic time at the Pride Parade in Burlington, VT last Sunday, September 10th. The students and their club advisors proudly joined the march, promoting unity and acceptance. Kudos to our QSA members for representing our school community with pride!

Heather Wolfe, dietician and nutritionist at Dartmouth Hitchcock and author of the cookbook Sustainable Kitchen, returned this week to the school kitchen where she took her first cooking class and decided her career path. Heather joined this year’s middle school cooking class to share her passion for healthy, sustainable living, and some recipes from her book.
Students made hummus with her and were able to sample homemade kale chips, energy balls, aquafaba meringue cookies, and watermelon basil water. No leftovers! Here you see two photos of Heather in the WUHSMS teaching kitchen - one from 1997 (making homemade pasta) and the other with this year's ms class! (More connections - some people will remember Heather’s mother, Karen Hawkes who taught French at Woodstock for many years. Heather is married to Woodstock social studies teacher Nick Wolfe.)
On Tuesday, June 13th, the 9th grade team capped off an interdisciplinary unit about the Holocaust with a virtual presentation by Ms. Fay Malkin. Ms. Malkin is a Holocaust survivor and activist with connections in the local community. She shared her incredible story with the ninth graders, telling them about the two years she spent in hiding with her family in a hayloft in Sokal, Poland (now Ukraine). Ms. Malkin's incredible story helped to underscore the depravity of the Holocaust and the resiliency of those who survived it.
Ms. Malkin was joined on the Zoom call by her daughter, Debbi Schonberger-Pierce, who shared her own perception of how the Holocaust impacts generations of people, as survivors and their descendents search for normalcy in the wake of genocide.
Students were moved by the presentation, and when asked why survivor stories matter, Sophia Rosenbach shared that it is essential to learn from survivors so that we do not repeat mistakes of the past. Ms. Malkin also conveyed one more piece of advice to her young audience: "talk to your grandparents." After all, she said, everyone has a story worth sharing, and we should learn from each other while we still can.
The middle school celebrated the last full day of the school year with fun and community spirit at our Spring Carnival. Students played capture the flag, painted rocks, ran relays, tossed water balloons, and had a blast in our student-built “dunk tank.” In the afternoon, faculty members took on students in dodgeball (congrats to the 8th grade on their win).
Our afternoon assembly featured several fantastic musical acts by students as well as a wonderful dance performance, games, prizes, and the dedication of the middle school yearbook to Mr. Kent for helping kids enjoy math.
Thanks to IDEA students and Sumanth for the dunk tank and Jenga, to the school spirit crew and Vali for planning a great assembly, and to student leaders Addison Tapley, Tilly Richardson, Pippa Shaw, Nick Cellini, and Alexis Audsley for their work planning and organizing the Carnival–it was the perfect ending to the year!
