Dear St. Joe’s Parents,
I had the good fortune to be part of the audience that enjoyed the Grade 5 performance of Moana, Jr. last week. What a joyful and uplifting experience. With Covid taking its toll on many of the extracurricular activities here at the school, it was remarkable that Jude Pratt, Libby Spigelman, the Grade 5 teachers (Kristen Fiumara, Maryanne Dawson, and Sue Howard), and Molly Newman were able to pull this off! There were numerous interruptions and delays over the past month. Some cast members and teachers became ill; rehearsals were cancelled; and finding a date that worked for everyone was difficult. Despite the challenges, the show went on! This production, performed before a live audience, was one indication that we may soon be back to the life we once recall. We can only hope.
Congratulations and many thanks to all who were a part of this annual tradition.

Sincerely,
Dr. Joe Barnes
Interim Head of School

This past Wednesday afternoon, 7th graders presented and defended their research projects during the annual National History Day event. This year's National History Day theme was Debate and Diplomacy. 7th Graders researched and came up with a topic, created a thesis and defended their thesis in a process paper as well as a presentation. Each student presented their project to judges on Wednesday afternoon and answered questions that the judges had regarding their research. This has been a long project that the students have been preparing for and working on for several months. It was fantastic to see the final product of all of their hard work! |
