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.
