After some delay due to snow, the Village School Concert was held Sunday, February 28 at The Haven at First and Market. The chorus opened the program, followed by the Woodwind Choir, the Beginning Orchestra, and closed out by the Orchestra. The venue was lovely and the performances outstanding.

The Knitting Olympics has come to a close. What a success! Village School girls and teachers knitted over 125 scarves! The scarves will be donated to the Martha Jefferson Cancer Center and will be presented at their Celebration of Life Ceremony on March 28.

To finish up the Olympics, the girls had to measure the length and width of each of their scarves and calculate the total area. The Olympic President, Ms. Duncan, tallied the scores–The Lonely Island took bronze, Lololagvisché grabbed silver, and Casmeccebe came out on top with the gold.

Great work girls!

The 8th graders used simple demonstrations to show that energy forms are either potential or kinetic. Potential energy comes in forms that are stored, including—chemical, gravitational, mechanical, and nuclear. Kinetic energy forms are doing work and produce electricity, heat, light, motion, and sound.

As part of Piedmont YMCA, Village School sponsored five basketball teams–one from each grade with the 7th graders having two teams. The teams were generously coached by Village School dads, and the girls had a fun season of learning new skills and, most importantly, teamwork.
