LOWER SCHOOLERS CELEBRATE NATIONAL POETRY MONTH WITH OUR POET-IN-RESIDENCE

BC Alum Sara Tobias '18 was recently featured in a three-part series on Women in Baseball in Vermont's Addison County Independent newspaper! Sara is a junior at Middlebury College who plays outfield for the school's softball team and was also a pitcher on the championship winning USA National Women's Baseball Team. Read about Sara's success on the diamond.
STUDENTS USE STEAM SKILLS TO BUILD PROTOTYPES OF NATIVE AMERICAN HOMES
3rd Graders embarked on a fun STEAM engineering challenge to design a Suitable Structure! Inspired by their social studies unit learning about Native American history, students researched different types of Native American homes, made connections to modern buildings and architecture, and considered how the environment, climate, function, and need impact the way a house is built. Then they designed and built their own structures!
MIDDLE SCHOOL WELCOMES ACCLAIMED ARTIST & EDUCATOR NAIMA GREEN
As part of the Middle School's guest artist speaker series, 5th and 6th graders welcomed artist and educator Naima Green, whose work has been shown at MoMA, the National Gallery of Art and other world class museums. (The visit was a homecoming of sorts for Ms. Green, who taught at BC for several years!) She discussed how identity has shaped her artwork and shared two of her recent projects, "Jewels from the Hinterland" and "Pur•suit," as examples of how art can be a vehicle for social change.
SENIOR SPEAKERS
Congratulations to our latest Senior Speakers, Nichole F. '21, Callan M. '21, and Antonio D. '21! Nichole discussed her love of poetry and shared some of her own work, describing how she uses her writing to connect to her heritage and build community.
Callan talked about his love for baseball and how his efforts to commit to a health and fitness plan changed his life with a new sense of motivation. Antonio spoke about his passion for music, demonstrating his process for creating beats, building melodies, sampling vocals, and all the steps that go into digital production.
3RD GRADERS RETURN TO THE YELLOW HUB LIBRARY
We are so happy to welcome our third graders in person to the Yellow Hub! As one student said today, "I never realized how much I love the library!"
