International Baccalaureate visual arts and music students recently traveled to New York City for the annual Group 6 Research Trip.
Students toured the Met Museum, walked through Central Park, and attended a performance of the musical Chicago, making valuable connections to help with their IB coursework. The Governor of New York spoke briefly at Chicago's intermission, and after the show, one of the cast members came out to greet the student, signed autographs, and posed for a group photo! It was a perfect ending for a glorious day in the Big Apple!
In social studies, seventh graders had the opportunity to visit with a Cuban immigrant, Reinaldo, and learn more about his experience in a communist country.
Yesterday welcomed the return of another beloved tradition — the middle school fair! Middle school students organize and man one activity per advisory, from a photo booth to obstacle courses.
Recently, seventh grade students prepared more than 250 peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, a snack, and a piece of fruit for Wilmington's Sunday Breakfast Mission, which has served the homeless, addicted, and impoverished for over 125 years.
Visual arts foundations classes are drawing from life, using architectural elements from around the school as a first step in creating an abstract painting that will be inspired by their space.
Over the last few months we have been in the process of filling two critical positions on campus: our new Director of Equity, Justice, Community, and Engagement and our Assistant Head of School for Academics.
Last night was the IB Art Exhibition, where students from the Class of 2022 had the opportunity to show friends and family their work over the past two years.
