Forsyth School

Last week in science classes with Mrs. Christine Torlina, Grade 3 students harvested produce from the Three Sisters Garden planted last spring. Unfortunately, the corn didn't survive, but thankfully, there were carrots to harvest instead! 🌽🫘🎃🥕

The Three Sisters Garden connects to the theme of "Our Land, Our People" for Grade 3, during which they study our changing landscape, migration and movement, our state and region, and Indigenous Peoples.

's second annual canoe build was smooth sailing! ⛵

Experienced instructors from the Urban Wilderness Program spent this week on campus teaching and guiding our Grade 5 students as they dove headfirst 💦 into building a beautiful 15-foot skin-on-frame canoe. 🛶 The finished canoe will stay anchored in Next House until the Grade 5 Challenge Day activities in April, when the class will portage the vessel for its maiden voyage.

The Grade 5 canoe build project is made possible through the generous support of the Nicholson Family.

Not one, but TWO Ted Lassos welcomed teachers and staff back to campus yesterday for in-service week!

Mr. Jason Hooper, Assistant Head for Academics & Lower Division Director, and Ms. Stephanie Teachout, Assistant Head for Strategic Initiatives & Upper Division Director, used "Lessons from Ted Lasso" as discussion topics for the morning's icebreaker, including "Be curious, not judgmental" and "If you're comfortable while you're doing it, you're probably doing it wrong."

We can't wait to welcome our students back to campus next Wednesday, August 26!
