Activities & Arts

A key part of our curriculum includes Related Arts (art, music/dance, and physical education). In physical education class, students get to experience cross-country skiing and a full month of gymnastics, while our art studio even includes its own kiln to fire student ceramics. We regularly showcase student work through art shows, concerts, and performances.

After-School Workshops

Various after-school opportunities and workshops enhance our arts and athletics programs. These vary depending on student interest but have included such offerings as foreign language instruction, arts and crafts, bowling, and environmental studies. Older students (grades 4–6) can also choose to learn an instrument or participate in the student chorus.

Get In on the Fun

Buckland-Shelburne Elementary takes full advantage of its location in the center of picturesque Shelburne Falls, Massachusetts. We take frequent walking field trips, which let students partner with local businesses. Every May Day, we tour the town and distribute spring flowers to homes and businesses. Our in-house events are always open to the public.
