In honor of Hispanic Heritage Month, Spanish Club hosted a banquet to share the importance of honoring one another's identity and heritage. The theme was “Mis Raices” — my roots. Before dinner, Spanish Club leaders and members, and others from our community spoke and performed in front of the school. Many students read quotes and reflections representing the banquet’s theme. Along with quotes, students also read poems, performed songs, and shared an Argentinian dance (“El Tango”).
This past Sunday, students, faculty, and staff gathered in FoxHound Auditorium in Schoolhouse for a special Honor Assembly. Organized by Honor Council, the event allowed everyone to reflect on our shared values and what it means to live in a community based on trust.

Weekly seated lunches and special banquets bring students, faculty, and families together. And spaces in Roomies offer opportunities for girls to gather for a meal, snack, or cooking adventure!
