Please join the our community supporters and give to the Give360 Annual Fund campaign to raise $200,000 for Day School. 


This Week in Pictures
Middle School students celebrated Pi Day this week in math class. They created a paper chain representing all the digits of Pi, whose 1700+ loops spanned the ceilings of the Middle School. During math with Mrs. Myer, they blew bubbles and measured their diameter after they popped. Then they used their measurements to calculate circumference and area using Pi!





Dr. Tim Hamby, father of sixth grader Kiley Hamby spoke to the 6th Grade health class this week about his work as an orthopedic surgeon. We love having our parents involved in the classroom!
