Fifth Week of Summer

Hard to believe that summer's been and gone. 9th graders completed their Radio Days at WLOY; the date on which their feature stories will air will be posted here shortly along with the Closing Celebration video. Enjoy the photo of the entire group from 7th to 10th graders.

Check here periodically for news of happenings during the school year.

Fourth Week of Summer

Students began the week onstage at the Hipodrome where they got a chance to improvise, paint their faces, vocalize, and write and perform in scenes. 9th grade quilters continued to work on their squares, 8th graders their NFTE projects and Radio Days, WLOY residencies, began. On Thursday all students visited the Planetarium in Calvert's Lower School and played water games on the field. 7th graders enjoyed a debate competition. After four weeks of competition the scores gap between the teams is narrowing.

Third Week of Summer

We hit the waves on Thursday, July 2nd at the Downtown Sailing Center for our Fourth Anual Regatta. On Monday, July 6th we went to Philadelphia -- some of us put on the robes of a Supreme Court Justice, most of us ate cheese steaks, all of us had not realized how small the Liberty Bell actually is!

On Tuesday, 8th graders got a Taste of (Summer) Squash and a bit of a workout at Meadow Mill Athletic Club.

Also on Tuesday, 9th graders got to spend the night at UMBC where they learned about life after FSK from the 10th graders and life after high school from a panel of college students. Sunset was beautiful from the library. Afterwards we played a variety of games in the common room. On Wednesday we had a class with a UMBC professor and toured the campus.

On Friday, 7th graders teed it off with 1st Tee of Baltimore at Clifton Park.

Second Week of Summer

All students continued their work, with special emphasis on the arts. 9th graders were rather domestic -- they created various versions of PlumpY (a peanut-based food used in famine relief), and dissected to classify various mystery fruits. Additionally, they moved from creating paper quilt squares to the real thing under the guidance of Mrs Marty Vint, President of the Baltimore Quilters Guild.

8th graders did art with numbers as they began to print showing various types of symmetry.

7th graders are on the verge of completing their personal powerpoints and have started to assemble their cut-paper projects.
