Pictured above, students in Mrs. McKeon's class released butterflies last week. They "netted" and watched caterpillars build their cocoons for weeks, and were excited to finally watch the butterflies fly away! | |

Today, Joy Browne, our Upper School art teacher is in Washington D.C. participating in the prestigious Power of Art Workshop sponsored by the Lab School. This is a program designed to celebrate the extraordinary creativity of students with learning challenges and to explore innovative ways to help them develop their talents through the arts. The workshop is sponsored by the Robert Rauschenberg Foundation and provides the opportunity for participants to work with professional artists as they explore new curricular options and ways to integrate the arts into the core academic curriculum in meaningful ways. This is a competitive workshop. Joy was one of 32 educators selected from hundreds of applicants and we are proud of her achievement. We are also excited to see what wonderful new ideas she comes home with. Congratulations, Joy! - Mimi Mayer
