Thank you to everyone who joined us for Ziti With Your Sweetie! Our more than 150 guests enjoyed a pasta dinner, dancing, and dessert! We also sang Happy Birthday to Elena R. who celebrated her 10th birthday with us!

Upper Schoolers recently spent their Advisory Block reading Valentine's stories with Kindergarteners and hearing about what's new in their classroom. The 10th-12th graders loved taking a trip down memory lane, and the Kindergartners enjoyed some extra attention from the big kids!

Fifth grade has been researching natural disasters in their project based learning and designed prototypes of inventions to make these disasters less disastrous. They even got a visit from Scott Hetsko, meteorologist on channel 13, to show him their projects!

Student volunteers braved the cold to hang up everyone’s wish slips on our community wish tree! The concept for the community wish tree began in our Little School, cultivated by Colleen Gill and Ms. Ou, as part of the celebrations for Lunar New Year.

AC senior Tommy D. helped create and is mentoring AC’s Middle School Stock Market Class, where students compete nationally by investing $100,000 of pretend money in a simulation of the real-time stock market. Tommy will attend Cornell University in the fall.

@teacher2teacher They definitely do! I had several great co-teaching experiences that included all points. Now I am a Specialist with no co-teacher and while I love teaching Art, I miss having a partner. ❤️

[Shari Ellmaker @SwampTeacher]

Spot on! I love co-teaching.

[Teacher2Teacher @teacher2teacher]

"When co-teaching is done right, it enables every student to receive more attention, especially those who need it to meet their learning goals and succeed in an inclusion setting," says educator Hannah Gross:

Sports are important, until they are not. Calling the game is critically important. My thoughts are with Damar & his family.
