Dr. Guzman's Physics class came to do some #MadeiraScience in the #MaderiaLibrary this morning - dropping tennis balls from the balcony to calculate acceleration due to gravity.

And that's a wrap on the first week of classes for the 23-24 school year! This week Huffington library hosted @MadeiraGrade11 and their @MadeiraHistor legislative proposal simulation plus @MadeiraGrade9 learning CPR, Madeira trivia, and more.

Enjoy the long weekend, snails!

Ms. Allen's Public Speaking class usually meets inside the library....but on a day like today, outside is even better. #MadeiraArts

#MadeiraESports practiced communication and teamwork by creating (and navigating) an obstacle course in #MadeiraHuffLib yesterday. Thanks for not stepping on the books, y'all!⁠

Shout out to our GSA club leaders who helped introduce alumna @LeslieAbsher for an incredible author talk this afternoon in the fiction room of #MadeiraHuffLib! Spy Daughter, Queer Girl is out now from @LatahBooks. #MadeiraChangingTheWorld

[Library at Madeira School @MadHuffLib]

#MadeiraHuffLib was thrilled to host our first in person author talk in years! @LeslieAbsher ('83) read from her memoir "Spy Daughter, Queer Girl", and spoke with current students about family secrets, the art of writing, and the #MadeiraCommunity in the 1980s. #MadeiraInspired!

Loved hearing the passionate speeches from @MadeiraGrade9 co-class president candidates today during class meeting in #MadeiraHuffLib. We can't wait to see who will join the @MadeiraAdvocacy team and lead the amazing class of '26. Good luck to all the candidates!

This #BannedBooksWeek2022 Madeira students (and staff!) are encouraged to read dangerously, combat censorship, and test their Banned Books knowledge in a schoolwide trivia contest. How many of these have you read?

[Library at Madeira School @MadHuffLib]

So many places to collaborate in the #MadeiraLibrary, as demonstrated by @MadeiraGrade9.

[Library at Madeira School @MadHuffLib]

From notes to sketch to finished product, #MadeiraGrade9 showed us their #MadeiraCreativity in Student Life and designed covers for books on inspirational people. Did you know Virginia Hall, WWII spy, had a prosthetic leg she called 'Cuthbert'?

We love seeing that #MadeiraCreativity in the library! Who knew a single marker and the #MadeiraeSports whiteboard could look so good?

Published earlier this month and now the shelves in the #MadeiraLibrary...“Formidable: American Women and the Fight for Equality, 1920 - 2020” by @madeiraschool former Head of School Elisabeth Griffith. Our #MadeiraEducators are always learning, always inspiring!

[Library at Madeira School @MadHuffLib]

We're so excited to welcome all our new #MadeiraSnails....our students (looking at you, @MadeiraGrade9!) AND the new books in #MadeiraHuffingtonLibrary.
