Greetings!

 

We had an amazing week - standardized testing was the backdrop to a counterbalance of fun and DOING.  MAPP students went to the planetarium, Middle Grades students went to the Museum of Art and Upper School students were building fences, chicken coops and checking out a local nursery for next stages of the Perimeter Project.  Friday brought a super-productive day of teacher planning meetings followed by a joyous Upper School Spring Social.  Special thanks to Lori for coordinating the testing and to Logan for helping coordinate the afternoons.  Shout-out to Charlotte, Katie and Lori for planning and executing the dance - with much help from many teachers and students.  Kudos to Angela Fountain and Family for a beautiful nature-themed spread of food at the dance - the talent and care in each detail were breathtaking!
