6th Grade Presents: Hear Me Roar: A Show About Being Heard & Seen
Read MoreHear Me Roar! A Show About Being Heard & Scene is in full effect, as 6th grade prepares for their public performances on May 17 & 18 at 7 PM. The show follows the true story of 6 characters, who identify as she/her (Beyonce, Madonna, Raquelle, Juliet, Ruth Wakefield & Frisk), and are picked to live in a house and have their lives recorded to find out what happens when women get real, supporting each other along the way. Sound familiar? If you were alive in the '90s and watched MTV, you will recognize this as the promo for the Real World. The students will stage a production much like a streaming TV reality show (with each individual character spotlighted in each episode) for a total of 6 short episodes, co-produced, co-written and performed by our fabulous 6th grade!To purchase tickets:- Buy online-Buy in person with cash, card, or check (no service fee)A 3% service fee is applied to online purchases. -

Exploring the Fungal Kingdom
Read MoreFourth grade just finished a unit on the fungal kingdom in preparation for participating in the Mold Symposium hosted by Green Street Friends last Friday. Students learned about mold and the fungal world and designed and carried out and experiment seeing how one factor impacted mold growth. They analyzed and presented their results to other fourth graders at the symposium Friday and got a taste of what the scientific process is all about. -
Community Time
Read MoreSixth grade students have been practicing their leadership and public speaking skills in the last few months as they've taken on planning and running our monthly community times. Prior to winter break, they led a lovely, light-themed assembly time, as seen in this photo. We value our students' voices and love to give them opportunities to share what they have to say in a more formal setting. -
Tree of Life
Read MoreFirst Graders learned about the Tree of Life in their monthly full moon story. They drew individual trees of life and discussed living in balance with oneself, nature, and others. Then they took action by protesting the removal of a beloved tree from the playground.
