Dear Upper School Families,
I hope that you are having a wonderful weekend as we are starting to see some warmer weather and maybe some sunshine! This past week our 10th grade took a trip to the Philip Merrill Environmental center, headquarters of the Chesapeake Bay Foundation. It was a cold day, but the students remained engaged in exploring the Bay watershed, talking about ways to improve the health of the bay, investigating biodiversity by getting into the Bay (with waders on of course!), and exploring a green certified building and thinking about environmental engineering. I enjoyed getting to go on this trip with them, and look forward to the other grade level field trips coming up.
Please see below for information for this week and beyond!

Dear Upper School families,
Welcome back to our final quarter of the 24/25 school year! In my experience, this is the time of year that just flies by between Field Day, Field Trips, and that final push in classes! I am so excited to spend spring with these students. Here is what you need to know as we begin 4th quarter.
Happening this week:

This is truly a busy time with so much to enjoy. This is also great time to check in with teachers and advisors to make sure that you/your student are on track to finish out the school year strong. As always, please let me know if you have any questions.
Best,
Angela Popernack
