YAY! ! IT'S OURS!

Have you heard? Channing Hall has just closed on the coveted property next to the playground! How many times have you driven by it thinking just how nice it would be to have that extra land? Well, after 4 years of trying to acquire the property the CH board has been able to close the deal! It is ours! It opens up many possible uses and options for us which the board is at this time considering. However, in the meantime, simply expanding the playground area will likely be the short term goal.

Shortly, we will be asking families of CH to step up and help begin paying off this purchase. Stay tuned for details once the Annual Giving drive begins in February.

WHAT IS IB...?

Here is the next installment to our WHAT IS IB...? program. Above is the board developed overview of what IB is at our school. This is as close as we could get to a one word description or synopsis of what IB is since it encompasses so much. Below, Sarah Yermen, explains this slide and gives some GREAT examples of IB at work at Channing Hall.

Stay tuned for more posts from the "Approaching Learning" workshop. It was a great lesson all parents and students can learn from.
