This spring's Gear Swap was a great success! We had many people stop by and their bags filled up quickly with boots, clothing, hats, snowsuits, rain gear, and more. We met several new folks, who had questions about the school and are now thinking about setting up a tour for next year. Thanks to everyone who donated items - we can't wait to share this community event again, maybe in the Fall. Stay tuned!

Clean Up Day at the Lower School was a huge success. The weather was perfect and we accomplished so much in the few hours we were here. Sending out a huge Thank You to everyone who was able to come help!
And it was busy with helpers over at the Forest Kindergarten as well on Clean Up Day! Thanks to everyone who was able to come and help out. Our campuses look beautiful and well-taken care of! We appreciate you all!
3rd and 4th grade students spent time at Congress Park, drinking Saratoga's fresh spring water and flying kites they made during class.
This year's Spring Assembly was such a wonderful experience. Held at the City Center Music Hall, every seat was taken. We were treated to song, dance, music, and Spanish! Grades 1-7 worked really hard to prepare for this special occasion and you could tell. Thank you for coming to enjoy the evening with us - it was heartwarming to be together in such a remarkable space.
Stargazing at the Forest
Since the solar eclipse, the sixth graders have been learning about astronomy. As a culmination of their study, they met for two nights of stargazing. The first night was cloudy, but offered a wonderful view of a nearly full moon with its craters brought into focus through a telescope. The second night offered clear skies with students picking out the Big Dipper, Leo, and other constellations that they had mapped during class.
