Is your kid a super kid? The Vineyard Montessori School is now accepting applications for its summer program, Camp Super Kid, for children ages 2.9 to 7. Campers will use books to delve into magical worlds that bring the stories to life. Activities include movement and music, visual and theatre arts, scientific exploration, water play, cooking, field trips, and walks to the beach.
A principal from Nauset Regional Middle School was looking for fund-raising ideas for a new greenhouse. School garden coordinators wondered how to keep their plots going during the summer months. A parent spoke about how to create better snack options during school hours.
And they all looked to Island Grown Schools, the Vineyard’s farm-to-school network, for answers.
The Martha’s Vineyard girls’ hockey team is now just one win away from a trip to the playoffs following a 4-2 win against Hanover this weekend. Head coach John Fiorito described the Vineyarders’ win as their best game of the year and a much-needed league victory.
Singing, dancing, gymnastics, beat boxing, Tae Kwon Do, drums, harps, clarinets, piano; the list is long and so is the talent. Tonight, Feb. 1, the Oak Bluffs School is hosting its 15th annual student talent show. The evening runs from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m.
Save the date for next Saturday, Feb. 9, when the Chilmark School holds its annual winter fundraiser. The party will be held at the Chilmark Community Center. Johnny Hoy and the Bluefish provide the backbeat.
The fundraiser is from 7 to 11:30 p.m. That’s way past Chilmark midnight (8 p.m.) but, hey, time to step up and stay up for a good cause.
The cost is $15 at the door or online at ticketsmv.com/chilmark.
