Older Younger Partners Begins

On Friday, older-younger partners were announced. Every older student in the school is paired with a younger student. The partners meet weekly to read, work on projects, and play games together. 'Mentors' is a long-standing tradition in the school, and the announcement of partners for the year is a big moment.

Brendan introduces the first session. The partners will interview each other about their interests. Next week, each pair will create a frame–for a photo of the two of them–that will show their interests in a border of drawings.

We declared this Wednesday Hike Mt. Abe Day. The whole school went up and everyone made it to the top, including the five and six year olds. A brilliantly clear, fall day.
