HISTORY PROJECT: 11th grade US History teacher Pete Bonds' students recently completed a project on a subject that has long been a challenge for historians - the history of slavery in the US. The impersonal lists of facts and numbers don't provide a sense of the lived experience of so many millions. To bridge that divide, his students dug deep into the slave narratives compiled by the Federal Writers Administration in the 1930s. Read Mr. Curtin's full article here. 

 

CHALLENGE WEEK: Even though Christchurch School (167 gifts) made a last-minute push to overtake BRS (147 gifts) in the number of Annual Fund gifts, we evened the score with a 16-12 lacrosse victory over their alumni team! Varsity lacrosse players Ballard Earley, Ty Ewen, Connor Modd, Shane Ford and Rhys Rodriguez assisted the alumni players in the win.

 

During Challenge Week (May 12-19) we raised over $42,000 from 147 donors! Donate $50 or more to the BRS Annual Fund before the May 31 deadline and you'll receive a pair of limited-edition Baron socks. Click here to donate online.
