Families had a great time gathered together to work on various STEAM projects. Some children constructed catapults that launched plastic pumpkins or eyeballs. Others worked in the gym, listened to Spookley the Pumpkin and built a pumpkin patch using play dough and shredded paper. The evening was kicked off by our guest speaker, Eve Tice (now a third grader) who created costumes for the classroom pets. Families were then encouraged to make costumes for Stinky our tortoise and our two new baby guinea pigs. In the spirit of creativity and design thinking, many projects were tested and reconfigured until the students got it just right. The event was well-attended by students in PK thru Grade 2, as well as some older siblings that joined us at the pumpkin hammering/Geoboard station.

It was perfect timing. The second-grade science classes were just wrapping up their insect unit in October and alumna Hailee Korotkin '08 was visiting from out of town and happened to have her pristinely preserved insect collection with her. As a recent Master's graduate in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, Hailee usually spends her time studying symbiosis between plants and fungi by extracting DNA, but in her spare time, she loves studying and collecting insects. The students shared their impressive knowledge of insects but also had a lot of questions for Hailee about her collection.

Birthdays at the Lower School can be special, especially when it's a big one. This was the case for Mrs. McLaughlin last week. She arrived first thing in the morning to find a large vase with two roses in it. She thought it was a nice gesture but thought it was strange that they didn't grab the smaller vase that was readily available. As the day went on, it became clear why there was a large vase. Each class came in to sing Mrs. McLaughlin a happy birthday and contribute a few roses to the vase. By the end of the day, she had a full vase with 60 roses! It was a Happy Birthday indeed!
