First and foremost, thank you! Thank you for your support, your cooperation, and your partnership as we navigate these unprecedented circumstances together. While it's easy to see the challenges we all face, we thought we'd share just how resilient our community is. Our students are now embarking on the new distance-learning model, and we're already seeing some remarkable results. We're looking at this situation as a way to be creative, collaborative, helpful, and innovative. Take a look at what some of our students and faculty have been up to these past few days!

Why Wait Until Thursday?
Thanks to the packets and materials sent home Tuesday, many students got a jump start on their distance learning! From chalk murals, to science lessons, and even some dancing on FaceTime, our students already seem to be adjusting nicely! Take a look at some pictures that parents sent in!

Mr. Z's Advisory
Mr. Zlomek's eighth grade advisory has already started to plan group activities like online games and even creating an advisory band! Elise Eng shared her new ukulele and demonstrated three chords to kick things off! Another highlight? The moment that Lance Ogden introduced the group to his Bob Ross Chia Pet!

Ms. Henderson Provides New Classroom Environment
Ms. Henderson sent home art supplies for kids to keep creating and learning off-line. Here at school, she prides herself on her open studio environment, where students can drop in to create artwork at any time. So, since they can't drop in here, they now have the supplies they need at home! Ms. Henderson stated, "Because we are teaching everywhere, it means we can teach anywhere. I brought my students to my back pond for a more picturesque classroom environment." Students are encouraged to send in their finished work to Ms. Henderson digitally.

Thank You, Brock!
Today, as Chef Christine and her crew were cleaning the Dining Hall, taking inventory, and assessing their perishables, it was obvious that there would be food waste as they prepare for these several weeks of not feeding students. So, with to-go containers and plastic wrap in hand, deli meat, bread, cheeses, and fruit were packaged and delivered to the Samaritan Center, where they continue their work to feed the hungry in Syracuse.
