That Was the Week That Was -- Take Two

This week could also be called four days before the Fourth. Oleg did a presentation on his camp mission to the Crimea last summer. On Wednesday Ms. Marlowe and helpers prepared bin dae duk -- savory Korean pancakes and Japanese soba noodles. On Friday we went sailing and had a barbecue with our families.

Is the First Week Already Over?!?

It was great to welcome the seventh graders, and new intern Euna Park on June 22nd. We've only had one Send-off competition -- the scavenger hunt on Tuesday -- because we are just SO busy enjoying math, language arts, geography, technology, Spanish, science and art!

Let pictures tell the story...interns Oleg and Freeman enjoying extra cookies before they go back to work, Jamal sketching his Korean name in art, and Sergio putting on the dog at Center Stage while Yvette puts on the Ritz. On Friday we went to Towson along with all the other MGP programs to officially kick off the summer. Connexions drummers warmed us up, Gayle Danley, slam poetess, returned, and Greg Harrell, the Best Benchwarmer, spoke to us. Ms. Casey, Executive Director, shared the results of the Johns Hopkins University study which confirmed that MGP works! (We knew that!)

Students who participated in the After School Program were delighted to learn that their third KIVA loan has been repaid.

Next week the seventh graders get to try their hands at golf with First Tee, and all of us will enjoy the annual Regattah! and barbecue on Friday.
