Now that it's March, we should definitely notice a welcome change in the amount of daylight we're experiencing. This always has a profound effect on my overall mood! And even though it's soggy and a little bit gross, we are seeing some green stuff on the ground.
As you'll see below, we have a number of great highlights over the last week or so, with more to come. The spring show Mean Girls is fully cast, with rehearsals beginning Monday. We are also compiling a significant list of dates for upcoming events, which we will share once we've ironed out all of the details. Ultimately, once March does hit, things have a way of wrapping up rather quickly. Careful not to blink, or you'll miss it.

Tudor Games: Nine Men’s Morris
Our Grade 7–8 students have been exploring the sports and games of Tudor England, bringing history to life through hands-on learning. Students learned to play Nine Men’s Morris, a strategy game played for over a thousand years and historically found carved into stone and church benches across Europe.
Thanks to our Grade 5 design company, PrintMax, students now have their own engraved game boards to use and share. The learning even extended into the community when students brought the game to the North Haven Market, where they taught others, including one student’s great-grandparents, how to play. It was a wonderful example of history, design, and community connection coming together.
