Many of you will remember a story I shared during Back to School Night back in September, about a man who viewed the world in “golden headlines” instead of getting bogged down by the bad news of the day. After the last 6-8 weeks we’ve collectively conquered, I thought it an appropriate time to share with you some of our Lower School golden headlines, as written by our students and teachers.

“Young Scientists Eagerly Prepare for Ground-Breaking Expo”
“Student Shares Personal Journey with Dyslexia Diagnosis”
“Third Graders Host Composting Competition to Help Planet”

After a gripping four week event, students congratulate the winners and exclaim, “It’s okay we didn’t win, we spread news about the importance of compost!”

“Students Work Collaboratively to Educate Others on Neurodiversity”
“Students Leave Kind ‘Secret’ Messages for One Another During Testing Week”
“1B Fills Up Kindness Jar for 4th Time This Year!”
“Second Graders Ask Permission to Choose Writing Over Recess”
“Local Durham Students Express Urgency in the Importance of Multilingual Society”
“Young Students Flawlessly Translate Sentences from English to Spanish”
“Student Who Once ‘Hated’ Poems Rises to Top Ranks in Poetry”
Encanto Dance Party Spreads Joy”
“School Celebrates Three Students Who Have Checked Out 100+ Library Books”
Well done, Ellie, Caitlyn, and Jasleen (3rd)!
“2nd Graders Donate Artwork to Durham VA”
“1F Wraps 100 Thoughtful Gifts”
“5th Graders Channel Newton with Balloon-Powered Jet Race”
