Safe travels to our students and faculty participating in international trips over spring break

Spring break 2025

 

Traveling over spring break are students from the following classes;

1) Robinette Cross is taking students to Morocco. The “Gender and Culture in the Middle East and North Africa” (MENA) Senior Seminar explores the elements and evolution of cultures in the  MENA region in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. Morocco provides an excellent cultural pivot point by joining east and west; traditional and non-traditional; and allows students to explore a cultural amalgamation that is unique and shaped by geography, religion, and colonial experience. This will be the fifth successful Morocco trip led by Ms. Cross.

2) Lindsey LeCroy-Whitworth is taking students to France.  This trip is a destination for the “Power of Story: Teaching Narrative Through Travel Writing” seminar for the 2024-2025 school year.  Throughout the year, students will learn narrative and travel narrative writing techniques in various forms. Students will write their own piece each quarter, modeling the elements and learning techniques from their growing toolbox. They will document Paris from the very beginning – planning and packing for the trip and write throughout the entire duration of the 4-night stay in the heart of Paris.

Bring back lots of pictures.! We look forward to hearing about your adventures.

    AY27 Snapshot #2: Coming back to life

    The mornings are getting darker, summer is winding down, and there is a different kind of energy around school. I guess I should be sad to see summer go, but that means the school year is right around the corner. And, of course, school supplies. I already have pastel pencils, felt-tip pens, binders, and more…
