WUHS Greenhouse Plant Sale — May 7–29
The Woodstock Union High School greenhouse is open for its spring plant sale, and it's a good one this year.
Students grow most of the plants themselves from seed, with a focus on open-pollinated, organic, and heirloom varieties of vegetables, herbs, and flowers. A selection of harder-to-start plants is sourced from a neonicotinoid-free nursery. This year, many plants will be available in soil blocks — no plastic pots, no waste. See the CRAFT website for a list of the many plant options that will be available.
Hours:
Mondays – Tuesdays: 9am–2pm
Wednesdays: Closed
Thursdays: 2pm–5pm (Opening day, May 7, runs 9am–5pm)
Fridays: 9am–2pm
Where to find us: 100 Amsden Way, Woodstock. Drive around to the right side of the school and park near the bus barn and football field. The sale is in the large greenhouse.
All proceeds go directly to the WUHS/MS Agriculture Department, supporting the greenhouse, gardens, and the hands-on learning that happens there — from growing food to thinking about systems, stewardship, and sustainability.
A few things to bring with you:
Cash or a check made out to WUHS (write "greenhouse" in the memo line)
Boxes for transporting your plants home
Old takeout containers if you're picking up soil block plants
Come find your tomatoes, support some great student work, and get your garden started right.
Happy Spring!

Middle school students and teachers enjoy Winter Carnival
On March 5th, middle schoolers traded class for an afternoon at the annual Winter Carnival. The Spirit Club kicked things off with an assembly full of games and raffles, then students and teachers spread out across activities — ice skating, ping pong, Bingo, bracelet making, Just Dance, a movie, and more. The day wrapped up with cookies and cocoa outside as a whole middle school.
Students loved having the freedom to move between activities at their own pace — a detail that came up more than once. A well-earned thanks to the School Spirit Club for pulling it all together.

9th graders winter wellness field trip
As part of our efforts to support students’ social development and well-being, our ninth grade students recently enjoyed two afternoon field trips this winter. Students went bowling at Maple Lanes in Claremont and snow tubing in Killington. Experiences like these give students opportunities to connect outside the classroom, practice cooperation, and stay active during the winter months. A fun time was had by all!
