The 6th grade class had the wonderful opportunity to visit the National Aquarium in Baltimore on Friday, February 19th as part of their study of adaptations in science class. The students were given small group tours of several of the exhibits, sat in the splash zone of the dolphin show, ‘Our Ocean Planet,’ (where they got quite wet), had a Q and A with a dolphin trainer and viewed a 4D movie, “Planet Earth: From Pole to Pole.” They then returned to campus for dinner and movie social sponsored by the Parents’ Association.

Chris Leighton, Executive Director of the Institute for Christian and Jewish Studies and Park parent, discusses the story of Cain and Abel with the Upper School Bible and Literature class.

Maryland artist Shannon Young meets with 3rd Grade students to begin "Portable Gardens." Shopping carts are prepared with liners and soil, then planted with the seeds of a variety of vegetable plants. The gardens can be moved easily to follow the sun throughout the day. When the weather warms, the carts will be wheeled outside. Shannon Young is one of the artists included in "the earth is flat and other truths about the environment," an exhibition about sustainability, environment, and landscape, on view until March 31 in the Richman and Davison Lobby Galleries in the Wyman Arts Center.
