Independent Science Projects (ISPs) culminated this week with a fair on Friday. Middle school students displayed their exhibit boards, which detailed the various stages of the project. Parents, students, faculty, and staff were able to speak with the middle school scientists about their projects during the fair.

ISP presentations continued on Monday as each student presented his project to a panel of scientists for review. The panelists, all of whom are scientists working in our local communities, provided feedback to the students on their work.

The 3rd grades presented an adaptation of Charlotte's Web to Lower School students on Monday and to their parents on Tuesday. Working with Youth Stages, a local dramatic arts program for children, the boys prepared the scenery and sets, as well as their costumes. They did a fabulous job bringing this wonderful book to life. Congratulations!
