On January 25, 26 and 27 the Gym was filled with the sounds of song and laughter as many SCM families and friends gathered to support this year's AC Musical, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang Jr.
Many thanks to SCM's music teacher, Mindy Snow, for all of her efforts in guiding the Adolescent Community in every aspect of producing the musical - creating the sets and lighting design, selling tickets and concessions, learning dance routines and songs, and much more!
The success of the musical also would not have been possible without the support and dedication of the AC Guides: Anya Callahan, Anthony Masterson, Teresa Onofre, and Catherine Ruff.

PSO Spotlight: Friends of the Garden
|
Last Friday, January 25th, the Friends of the Garden had its monthly teaching session on the topic, "Farm to Table."
We harvested fruits and vegetables from the SCM Timberside Garden and washed, chopped and prepared the items to complete two delicious sides.
We harvested kale, cilantro, carrots, Meyer lemons, Romanesco cauliflower and kumquats. From this bounty we were able to make guacamole (with cilantro, Meyer lemons and flowers from mustard greens) and kale salad (with kumquats, Meyer lemons, and white carrots). I brought a few additional ingredients to help complete the dishes.
Whole foods, local, organic (not certified of course, but all organic methods ;)) and as fresh as you will ever get!
What a great way to start off the new year!

Welcome back to the High School Corner!
After a brief hiatus, we are glad to bring the High School Corner back as a weekly feature in
The Globe
. This week we will give you a look at a very interesting part of our curriculum: Current Events.
Every Thursday, two students present on local, national, or international topics that have recently been in the news—this can be anything from the political, economic, and humanitarian crisis in Venezuela to poaching in Botswana to the wildfires of California. These presentations must be accompanied by a map that gives geographical context to the issue being discussed. The beauty of Current Events is that it serves in teaching us about geography, history, and the importance of being an informed inhabitant of the world. We are encouraged to share our own informed opinion on the issue at hand as a part of our presentation. Historical context is possibly the most important tool in giving a balanced and well-informed presentation, for this reason, we are required to include historical context in our presentations. We love this class and are excited to continue learning about and discussing the multi-faceted issues that presented to us.
On January 31st, during Montessori Night, join us for an exhibit of original visual art featuring mixed media, photography, paintings, and sculptures presented by the Adolescent Community and High School.
Our inaugural exhibit will be in the Welcome Center from 5:30 to 8:00 PM. Also make sure to check out the AC Literary Arts Magazine that our friends in the AC will be premiering that night. We hope you can join us!
Thanks for reading, and we will see you next week!
