This May, our students have earned many successes! We seek to celebrate their gifts and success with this blog entry.

Several grades 7-11 students participated in the annual History Feast! Students thoroughly researched an historical figure, and then worked together with their classmates to write a script, with each historical figure interacting with each other. They then performed that script at the History Feast, and took questions in-character. Students this year took on widely varied personas, including Napoleon Bonaparte, Chiang Kai Shek, James Cook, Vincent Van Gogh (with both ears fully attached), Simone de Beauvoir, Mikhail Kalashnikov, John Lennon, George Harrison, and Giuseppe Mussolini. A good time was had by all, and the food was (as always) delicious! Bravo to all of this year’s historical figures, and to the man behind each History Feast – Kael!

And now, for a literally sweet success – our baking elective, led by Lizeth and Leslie, has been a truly delicious experience for students. They’ve made all kinds of delectable treats – everything from cookies, to Tres Leches cakes, to pizza (pictured below).

Our Karate Club students also have a recent hard-earned success: Passing their orange belt tests! Their long hours of practice have really paid off. Congrats, orange belts!

Laura’s science students were absolutely blown away by the success of their balloon cars! What’s possible with just a balloon and some ingenuity is pretty awesome. The students built and raced balloon cars – they studied balloon-powered propulsion alongside a unit on air resistance. Check out one of their balloon car races below – it’s pretty cool!
