August 31st is Approaching

Lots of happenings at SVCS over the summer months. Floors are getting cleaned, staff are getting professional development training, staffing is getting finalized and more!

We're excited to announce the hiring of Maggie Vescio and MagpieArt as our integrated arts instructor(s). Maggie and her team of artists will be bringing; two and three dimensional design basics, color theory, survey of basic media- wet and dry, historical and current reference materials, critique and conversation. Media will include fabric, heritage crafts unique to New Hampshire and New England, paint, clay, drawing basics, collage and assemblage. There will also be a unit on culinary arts focused on a cross cultural exploration of food as art. Maggie will be meeting with SVCS teachers before schools starts to plan units that will be integrally connected to our project-based learning. Welcome back Maggie!

We are also excited that Trinity Underwood will be returning to the Keene Campus as 7th/8th grade classroom assistant. Trinity joined us in late April and jumped right into our school culture. She is looking forward to spending more time with our students in 2016-2017.
