Looking to get ooey gooey?

CCB is hosting an Ooey Gooey event at the Youth Center Inc on Tuesday June 25th. This will be open to the public and geared towards families with children up to age 8 (siblings welcome).

Some of our students had a chance to tour Adams' very own Civil War Museum in the Adams Free Library and take a walking tour of the Town of Adams. It was such an educational walk to explore!

With great pride, our 1st and 2nd-grade students held a musical showcase Tuesday afternoon, featuring their vocals accompanied by Superintendent Aaron Dean on saxophone.

Field day starts strong with sunshine, staff, parents, Copsicle truck, National Guard obstacle course, water activities, and happy elementary kids! Be on the look out for more photos!

Hoosac Valley Elementary School Memorial Day Celebration 5 24 24 mov Hoosac Valley Elementary School Memorial Day Celebration - 5-24-24

Two of our amazing educators represented Early Education yesterday at MCLAs 8th Grade Career Fair! Thank you Katie Chenail and April Mazzeo for always bringing the fun to your day!

Appleblossom Fair! As a school, we successfully completed Appleblossom the Possum by Holly Goldberg Sloan, one book one school challenge. EVERY SINGLE class read this book to their students. We celebrated with a fair! So grateful for our teacher April Mazzeo, for writing a grant to pay for the books and activities associated with this event!

Stay turned in for the remainder of the chapters to be released and share to watch for years to come.

Around seven years ago, Cheshire Elementary School and CT Plunkett Elementary School joined together to become Hoosac Valley Elementary School. In the time since then, HVES has transformed into a school community that encompasses two beautiful towns and that is full of joy.

At HVES, we share the importance of identity and belonging in every classroom as part of our Responsive Classroom approach. Every student is called by their name and everyone is a part of our community. With that being said, we felt it was very important for our school’s exterior to match our school’s interior. There hasn’t been a sign of the school’s name on the outside of the building. This morning, all of that changed!

This morning, the entire school went to the front lawn to welcome Hoosac Valley Elementary School’s first ever sign! This was a special moment for our whole community because it recognized our school’s identity; it recognized where we all spend our time together every day; it gave us a name.

Thank you to each one of you and to each of our students for making Hoosac Valley Elementary School the best school in the entire state! Our school community is unlike any other and I am proud to be a part of it. Please give us a little beep if you drive by the new sign!

Big thank you to Child Care of the Berkshires for hosting this Messy Art event with us! With their help, we were able to open our doors to neighboring communities and schools to create a really messy evening in the sun! Thank you to the families who were able to join us.

As you can see, we had a blast!
