Art at The Well School is creativity, collaboration, celebration, and discovery. Art is part of everything we do! Each class does have a dedicated weekly class in the Art studio, which is a time for skill building, learning art techniques and history, and maybe even discovering a hidden talent through multiple engaging and creative projects.

One such project is the journal covers our grades students create each year. Students take several art classes at the beginning of the school year to complete these paintings, then they are lovingly bound onto notebooks by our Art faculty.

For some classes this journal will hold writing prompts, stories, and pictures. For older students, it will hold poetry, self-discovery, and even hopes and dreams. For all of them, it is a record of their time at The Well and their childhood.

If you attended The Well, do you still have your journals?

Today is World Teachers' Day! The Well School is fortunate to have a staff of dedicated, experienced, collaborative faculty members who genuinely enjoy working with our students. We are so grateful to them for the work they do each and every day.

Our teachers are the best around! If you see a teacher today, either at The Well or in your own life, give them a hug, a high five or a thank you, or take a moment to share the positive impact they've had on you or your children. ❤️

Where do students get excited about extra math? At The Well School, of course!

Several of our Upper School students gathered today for the first meeting of our Mathcounts team. We're thrilled to bring Mathcounts back to our students and we are looking forward to all the challenge and excitement ahead.

Our 5th grade class's camping trip took them to the Montshire Museum of Science, Vermont Institute of Natural Science (VINS), fishing (and swimming?!) in Lake Sunapee, and on many other adventures.

Chris's 5th grade camping trip is a beloved rite of passage at The Well and an opportunity for the class to bond and to care for each other. They have opportunities to explore the world and build practical skills, and kick off the year with memories they'll cherish!

On Wednesday morning our 8th grade class headed out into the woods for their annual camping trip. They returned this afternoon, tired and a little muddy, but triumphant.

Camping trips at The Well have taken many forms over the years, from on-campus overnights to local campgrounds, and from faraway outdoor experiences to canoeing the Connecticut River. Our 8th grade teacher, Angela, was excited to bring back an old favorite, a backpacking experience designed to help students recognize their strength and independence and build stronger bonds within the class.

Although the 8th grade was never far from campus, their trip tested their grit and endurance and gave them an opportunity to experience the pride and fulfillment of accomplishing something different. We can't wait to hear the stories they'll tell after they've had a weekend of rest!

Last Friday we woke our Sorting Hat for our annual Element Team Sorting Ceremony. The Hat was sleepy and a little reluctant, but once it got into the swing of things our ceremony was both funny and poignant, with the Hat recognizing the strengths of each new Upper Schooler before announcing their team.

Element Soccer begins today, and we are sure it will be an exciting year of fierce, but friendly, competition! 🌍 💧 🔥 💨
