Dear Berkeley Hills families,
This week, some of our students were able to explore the new Berkeley Hills STEAMS Lab!
We are excited about all the activities ahead that will develop
creative and critical thinking skills, problem-solving methods, perseverance, and teamwork.
Your child will be using hands-on tools to solve problems AND have fun!
Enjoy a few photos of students in the STEAMS Lab and be sure to ask them about it.
Blessings,
Mrs. Hyland
Berkeley Hills Principal

Elementary Musical
February 25
at 7:00 pm
Wexford Campus in the South Venue
A Not So Terrible Parable
Performed by Berkeley Hills and Wexford students
It was a dark and stormy night . . .
A man lay injured by the side of the road. Two travelers passed him by. Mysteriously, he is delivered to the doorstep of the quaint Mountain Vista Inn, where the startled guests, the butler and the maid (of course!), and a famous detective must use their wits to sleuth out every clue to get to the bottom of this mystifying whodunit.
Please join us for mystery, candlelight, organ music, strange pizza toppings, and our host, Alistair McAlister,
in this Master’s Peace Theater re-creation of the
parable that Jesus told about the Good Samaritan.
Important Notes:
- Dress rehearsal is Feb. 24, 3:30-5:30 at the Wexford Campus South Venue
- Performance in the musical is mandatory for students in grades 3 and 4, and chorus students in grades 5 and 6
