What a difference a week makes! From warm sunny days and gorgeous fall foliage, to snow, rain, and bare trees! Take a look at our ever-changing campus...
The lower school environmental club presented a play at assembly this week. The play was about the differences between a landfill, a compost pile, and recycling and the types of things that belong in each. The lower school will soon start a compost pile, under the direction of Mrs. Verdu.
Prayer buddies from middle and lower school spent time together during activity period recently. They were outdoors playing games and having fun.
The 8th annual Reading Harvest Pumpkin Drawing was held at lower school assembly on Wednesday. Mrs. Dowling reported that 865 books had been read by the lower school this year! The Pumpkin Fairy, an anonymous donor, will donate $1 to the library for each book read. Mrs. Dowling will order books, which the boys will help to choose. Each boy participating in the Reading Harvest had a chance to win 1 of 7 pumpkins. Every boy received a Halloween pencil and bookmark as recognition for their participation. Mrs. Dowling said it best: "You're all winners, because you all read books!"
The 8th grade science classes have been studying the trees on Princeton Academy's campus to determine which species are native to the area and which trees have been introduced to the area. They recently presented their scientific findings to the lower school.
