Upper School students invited our community to tour their newly cultivated Permaculture Garden (part of the STEAMWork Outdoor Experiential Lab or SOEL)—a sustainable food garden designed, built, and nurtured by students on campus.

The 7th grade computer science class made waves (literally—in the fountain on Ayrshire Court) last week to test the designs of their 3D-printed boats, an annual project that teaches students about the engineering design process.

Congratulations to the 5th graders, who presented their thoughtful student-led service projects—the Think, Care Act Projects (TCAP)—to their parents, faculty, staff, and fellow students last week on Braun Patio!

The Class of 2023 enjoyed one last hurrah—or perhaps a few last hurrahs—before Commencement, celebrating events such as College Commitment Day (a.k.a. Chalk Day), Senior Celebration Luncheon, Senior Recognition, Senior Retreat, and Senior Brunch!

Last week, the 4th graders received a special art lesson from David Shannon, an author and illustrator of children's books! The lesson was a continuation of the Westridge Artist-in-Residence program.

Thirteen Upper School Global Fellows presented their Global Initiative projects to the community during a showcase including a plethora of nuanced subjects. Four seniors who have completed the program will receive a distinction on their diplomas at Commencement.
