S’mores!
Our students celebrated the end of our fall semester on a beautiful, sunny day. They played lawn games, toasted marshmallows, and enjoyed s’mores.

Lord of the Manor
The Lord of the Manor Class finished out the semester with a High Tea including finger sandwiches, scones, clotted cream, and jam. Afterwards, they took turns whacking Leo’s homemade pinata filled with rollos.
Biology Board Games
You may have played Candyland to learn your colors, Monopoly to learn how to count money, and Settlers of Catan to learn strategy and negotiation. But have you ever played a board game to learn about antibiotic resistance? Our Biology students have.
Absurdity Event
As first semester drew to a close, the “Nonsense, Absurdity, and the Irrational” class planned and performed a surprise event for the school community during lunchtime. While vigorously absurd and without any rational goal or ‘meaning’, the raucous multimedia performance evoked many historical and cultural manifestations of the irrational, including the medieval “Ship of Fools”, Edward Lear’s “The Jumblies”, performances of the Dada movement, noise music, and Antonin Artaud’s Theatre of Cruelty. A confusing time was had by all.
Greek Fest!
Opa! The Athens and Democracy class put together a delicious fest complete with “wine”, hummus, kalamata olives, dolmas, “babies on a stick”, cookies, Greek chocolates, Turkish delight, homemade loukoumades, and homemade baklava.
Supreme Cell Leader
The AP Biology students made strong arguments for which cell organelle should rank as Supreme Leader. The votes were tallied and this year the Lysosome has been awarded this prestigious title.
Are we Cooking with Natural Antibiotics?
The Biology class designed experiments to determine if common cooking ingredients contained natural antibiotic properties. The students observed an antibiotic effect from sage as well as onions, which may suggest making homemade stuffing is worth the effort.
Exquisite Corpse Technique
The Printmaking class shares their exercise practicing the Surrealist technique called Exquisite Corpse.
Ecosystems
The Environmental Science class created story boards detailing the interactions between species in multiple United States ecosystems.
