Propelled by the energy and excitement of September’s Spirit Day and Homecoming Weekend, Grace’s athletes ran, kicked, blocked, volleyed, and lobbed their way through October’s challenges and triumphs to cap off an incredible fall season.
On the morning of September 6, new junior kindergarten through eighth grade parents and parental figures gathered in Tuttle Hall for a welcome and orientation to kick off their first school year at Grace. As part of the formal program, Head of School Robbie Pennoyer greeted families and described his hopes for the partnership that will develop between them and the school in the years to come, a message he also shared with new high school families earlier that week.
The morning of the science fair, seventh and eighth grade students arrived early. The gym, usually occupied by children deftly weaving through obstacle courses and dodging balls, was filled with the sights and sounds of middle schoolers excitedly putting finishing touches on their project displays–the culmination of months of asking questions, conducting research, forming hypotheses, observing results, and drawing conclusions–before their families and classmates arrived.
Last week, the Grace community gathered for this year’s Senior Research Colloquium, an annual event which celebrates the great scholarship of the graduating class in literature, history, neuroscience, and data science.
