I am thrilled to share with you that April Caspari will be joining us through December as a teacher intern from the Upper Valley Educator Institute. April is a local artist and musician and she is excited to become an art teacher. Some UES kids and families will remember her from Community Connections, where she was an after-school teacher a couple of years ago! April will be interning with art teacher Barb Austin-Hutchins at Montpelier High School for the spring semester.

I am also happy to share that Gowri Savoor will be visiting Union Elementary School this winter as our artist-in-residence for a Lantern Art Residency. Following Gowri’s residency, we will celebrate with an evening Community Lantern Parade through the snowy streets of Montpelier. We are so glad to welcome Gowri back to U.E.S.
I hope to see you and your children at Open House in a few weeks! The students’ artwork will be on display throughout the school. We will also have information to share about the K-4 Art Curriculum, volunteer opportunities, the Lantern Art Residency and our 2016-17 U.E.S. Arts Calendar!
