Pictures from the Field

Margaret Paul
Dear Families,
 
Each year during the third week of April we send “Notes from the Field” to share glimpses into the work of Juniors on the Junior Class Trip. This year, though we are not as far away as we usually are, we are, indeed, in the field and doing research into the issues the class has taken up. 

If we could give a gift to families right now, it would be a seat at the table with our juniors as they listen, learn, and grapple with the issues of mass incarceration, voting rights, women’s health, environmental racism, and the rights of indigenous peoples. There is nothing more heartening than listening to our students wrestle with and imagine beyond these complex issues. They are compassionate, caring, and able to think critically and boldly about our future. Their ability to forge through the brokenness towards possibility is both humbling and inspiring. 

See below for a few “notes from the field” that give you a small glimpse into their work this week
