Quick Pix As always, it has been a busy week at Carolina Day. Senior Duane Stepp, Jr. signed his "Letter of Intent" to run at the University of North Carolina - Asheville this fall. Duane has been on the cross country team at CDS since seventh grade and this year added track to his list of athletic accomplishments. Duane signed today with his parents and brother standing by and dozens of fellow upper school students watching.
Next week is our first-ever Arts Alive! event at CDS. There will be different performances and workshops each day for all grades. Student art can be found all over the place. You need to drop by for a visit and check it out. The display below is in the Upper School.
The Pacifica Quartet performed for all grades in two separate sessions last week as an introduction of what's to come.
It was Grandparents' Day yesterday in the Lower School. Hundreds of parents and grandparents attended this annual event. Click here for photos.
The fifth graders and their kindergarten buddies enjoyed an egg hunt this week. Check out the photos.
The Upper School Math team continues to dominate at the Western North Carolina Regional Math competition held last week at Western Carolina University. Our team as a whole came up victorious--which keeps the dynasty alive. Several students placed individually. Check out the Kudos page on the web for full details.
Oh Happy Day! It was ERB week last week for the third through eighth graders. To celebrate the end of testing, the middle school students were treated to ice cream sundaes by these parents. Thanks, moms.
Today in sixth-grade science, Tara Calloway's students tested their theories of seed dispersement by the wind by building and testing. They used a 3 X 5 card (and nothing else but their imaginations) to create a "seed" to see how far the wind (a fan) could take it. A competition followed and in this class Zachary Richardson-Bull came in first with 236 cm. followed by Luke Ball with 259 cm.
And while the sixth graders were studying seeds, the eighth graders were enjoying building and testing robots. Each robot had to perform certain moves in a certain order and they have to be programmed to work correctly.
Upper school teacher Joanne Bartsch can usually be found doing crazy things in her science lab. But come Tuesday and Thursday afternoon she takes on another challenge--instructing a whole room of students in the art of Tae Kwon Do. Ms. Bartsch is a black-belt instructor and has been offering this program for several years. In addition to teaching an after-school class of "little ninjas," she also teaches upper school students as a PE elective.
And is it Friday yet? There's no reason for this photo except that I like it. This is a real rabbit, by the way!
