8th Graders celebrate the end of middle school

8th graders celebrated the end of middle school with a fun and exhausting overnight trip to Bethany Birches Camp this week. With sunny skies and temperatures in the high 80s, students spent lots of time swimming in the pond, socializing in the pavilion, and competing in—and losing at—many games against their incredibly athletic teachers.

AP Art History tour Hall Art Foundation

Ms. Gravel's AP Art History class took a tour of the new exhibits at the Hall Art Foundation in Reading, Vermont with Ms. Piccoli.

On Thursday afternoon, Ms. Gravel's AP Art History class took a tour of the new exhibits at the Hall Art Foundation in Reading, Vermont with Ms. Piccoli. The students enjoyed seeing over 100 works by Andy Warhol in the small is beautiful exhibit. One of the highlights was wearing 3D glasses to view the stereoscopic silkscreen painting titled Patty Oldenburg. In the Susan Rothenberg retrospective, students practiced Visual Thinking Strategies with a piece titled Impending Doom. And, when looking at the shield-like armatures created by Ron Gorchov, Katie Jones found inspiration for a future art project.

Thanks so much to the Hall Art Foundation for making these exhibits accessible to our students. They also offer teachers professional opportunities over the summer.
