Painting with the Folks at Done Construction

Our friends from Done Construction were back at the school this month for a fresh home repair workshop. Today’s seminar was on all the ins and outs of painting. A good amount of time was spent on explaining all of the tools and tricks of the trade. Then everyone went outside to use what they learned on the practice wall built for this occasion! So far this year the students have learned about tools, electrical repairs and some plumbing as well.

Thank you Beth, Sarah Junior, Catesby, Kristin and Sarah Senior

Conversation with Dr. Alan Scott

Today, we welcomed back regular guest teacher Dr. Alan Scott, Professor of Molecular Microbiology and Immunology at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. He answered a broad range of questions from the students about the immune system, vaccines, various diseases as well as breakthroughs in research and treatment. Dr. Scott has been coming to the school for years several times each term to teach special seminars on issues such as COVID, monkeypox, and herd immunity and other sessions that are just question and answer periods. Today’s session was part of the current health curriculum on the body’s systems and was both enlightening and sparked the student’s interest even more. Thank you Dr. Scott.
