Throughout the spring, the PreKindergartners have been exploring our campus and the neighboring Audubon trails with a particular interest in the birds that inhabit these places. Such investigations inspired the children to build something special for our feathered friends. Students combined their knowledge of birds with our math learning (focused on simple machines) to create Birds of Play: An Avian Amusement Park. We hope you will join us on a virtual tour of this unique project!
That's a wrap! After 35 weeks of on-campus learning, school is (almost) out for summer. Watch scenes from week 35 here.
Upper School's annual spring Coffeehouse, hosted by senior Michael Stanfield, featured poems, songs, movies, and stories created by Upper School students.
