During the William Shakespeare Unit in seventh grade English, students researched Shakespeare's Globe Theatre, the Elizabethan Era, and drama format during that time. After their research and brainstorming, they built replicas of the Globe, then wrote an essay about their building process and the history of the Globe. The finished Globes are displayed in the Atrium.

Let's Salsa! Salsa Challenge
Are you ready to Salsa?
We sure are! Food, music, and dancing are the essence of the Latino culture, and our students are ready to showcase their talents next Friday, February 23. With lots of excitement, EDS students are thrilled to have the opportunity to share their delicious salsa and guacamole recipes during our special kick-off starting at 10:45 am in the Traylor Atrium. Students have been working hard inventing creative recipes in English and Spanish, as well as practicing their salsa steps, learning songs, and finally preparing for our big Salsa Challenge. Don't miss this amazing, cultural, hands-on, cross divisional event, and cast your vote for your favorite salsa! This event is made possible by the generous support/donation from The Friends of Evansville Day School. Please don't forget to wear your Salsa Challenge t-shirt if you ordered one.
