To help students forge connections and engage with their classmates, each grade is participating in an on-campus retreat during the week of September 5. On Wednesday, September 7, the Middle School and grades 9 and 11 returned to campus to participate in an array of activities designed to build community and set a positive tone for the year.
Students met with their advisors, division heads and grade deans, and participated in workshops on time management and balance, DEIB (Diversity, Equity, Inclusion & Belonging), goal-setting, and ways to engage within the community.
Students also participated in a range of group activities — from problem-solving in the Center for Innovation & Design to exercises related to communication to informal lawn games on the Class of 2020 Quad.
