K1 will be hosting their Celebration of Learning to culminate their Plants and Trees unit. Please contact your child's classroom teacher with questions.

Throughout the first half of the school year, 7th graders have been working to answer the questions, "Why is it important to share our stories? Why is it important that we don't share others' stories on their behalf?" They have uncovered various untold stories in our world history to analyze why certain stories go untold, and why it's so important that we work to discover them. For their culminating project, 7th graders have chosen either an individual, a group of people, or an event in world history to honor through an art form of their choice. Come see students honor those who died fighting in the Vietnam War, those who lost their lives in Stalin's "forgotten genocide," and more.

Please contact Ms. Psallidas (MPsallidas@conservatorylab.org) with any questions.
