Eighth Grade Visits New York City

For their end-of-year trip, eighth-graders enjoyed three days of activities in New York City, including visits to Times Square, the 9/11 Memorial, the National Museum of Mathematics, the U.S.S. Intrepid, the Brooklyn Bridge, Chinatown, Little Italy, and a Broadway performance of "Wicked."

Grades 1-2 Present Musical World Tour

Our first- and second-graders wowed us with their end-of-year musical performance, "Magical Musical World Tour." Students presented songs and dances from different continents, countries, and cultures around the world, many of which supported their classroom, world language, and art studies.

Fifth Grade Enjoys Greek Games Day

Fifth-graders celebrated the second annual Greek Games Day on May 31. Incorporating what they learned in their ancient Greece unit, they participated in some Olympic events such as chariot racing and relay races, created Greek letter art, and performed plays based on Aesop's fables. They also enjoyed a wonderful spread of Greek food and experienced wearing traditional togas.
