From the Communications Office

Mr. Griffin writes:

When I use my old Nikon camera to take photos, for some reason, Instagram automatically tags those photos as "Ray Ban stories." If you dig around, you learn that this tag is meant to indicate that the photos were taken with those Meta glasses with cameras embedded in them. 

I have not figured out how to prevent this. Until I do, please be assured: I am not taking photos around campus with Meta glasses. It's ironic that my most low-tech camera is triggering this high-tech response.

How well do you know Gordon's twelve acres?

Come explore the 12-Acre Classroom next Thursday, 6:30pm, with Dean Gillen,. Dr. deChabert and Ms. Dunham-Carson. RSVP www.gordonschool.org/12acre
