WUHSMS welcomes Spanish exchange students and sponsors
WUHSMS is excited to welcome twenty Spanish students and their sponsors, Jaime Martínez and Juan Fernández to our school this week.
WUHSMS is excited to welcome twenty Spanish students and their sponsors, Jaime Martínez and Juan Fernández to our school this week. The students arrived Friday, September 8th and were picked up by their host families and students. Their school, Colegio Salesianos Paseo Extremadura, will be hosting WUHS students in April as part of the Woodstock-Madrid Exchange.
Students met with WUHSMS Co-Organizers Luis Villanueva and Anna Megyesi for an orientation and campus tour on Monday before joining their host students in class. Their time here allows them to immerse themselves in American culture and language and develop connections with our school community.
In addition to attending classes with their host students, Mr. Villanueva organized a number of excursions for them to take in some of the highlights of Vermont. Students visited UVM, Ben and Jerry’s, Burlington, and had a tour of Billings Farm. They went kayaking to experience firsthand the rich tradition of recreational tourism in the area. Teacher Steve Smith presented a history of Woodstock and Vermont during ARE time which was very well received.
Ninth grade community building
Last Friday, the ninth grade students took an afternoon away from academics to build community.
Last Friday, the ninth grade students took an afternoon away from academics to build community.
We started with an assembly in which we introduced the leadership team, and the health and support staff. Students got to see images of their teachers when they were ninth graders and learned interesting facts about their teachers through fun trivia.
They then transitioned outside where they were greeted with different team building stations including balloon relays, sponge races, paper airplane contests, and a song-identifying game. We finished off with ice cream and popsicles, recognitions of exceptional team spirit and collaboration, and a group photo. It was a wonderful afternoon for everyone.

This past week in AP Physics I, students explored various ways to abstractly represent the motion of objects. After crafting claims and making predictions pertaining to the motion of a marble rolling down a ramp, students worked in small groups to collect data, which they used to calculate the acceleration and final velocity of an object.
