The start of second semester brings lots of new things - new electives, a fresh start in music, new plays to rehearse, and new academic projects and classes galore. Winter athletes are putting their uniforms on again and are ready to get back on the court or on the track. Sophomores begin a deep dive into their Sophomore Seminars. Seniors recommit to Senior Project completion as they inch closer to college decisions and graduation. Third quarter Work Crew began. We enjoyed a Pancake Friday together this morning. Everyone is enjoying this unexpected patch of warmer, sunny weather. Teachers are putting the finishing touches on first semester grades and comments - watch for report cards next week. Second semester - here we come!

Middle Schoolers happily returned to school and their energy has revived the campus. 5th graders are learning about the Haudenosaunee and the geography of the Northeast. In Music class, they are enjoying having an Upper Schooler, Fletcher L, giving them some lessons on tuning and chords. 6th graders are working on a mini unit on blackout poetry (details and photos below). 7th graders are learning about the biological levels of life and about heredity. 8th graders are beginning interviews for their big Job Fair project in English class.
