Books & Breakfast: Connecting Students Across Divisions Through Stories of Curiosity and Discovery
Lower school students enjoyed a special “Books & Breakfast” experience, bringing together students across divisions for a morning of storytelling and connection.
Members of the upper school STEMinist Club visited classrooms to read inspiring books like Ladybug Launch—the story of Luna, a ladybug who dreams of becoming an astronaut—and How the Cookie Crumbled, which explores the mystery behind the invention of the chocolate chip cookie.
Through stories of curiosity and discovery, our youngest learners were introduced to big ideas in science and innovation, while building meaningful connections with upper school mentors.
