这是连续第四年了, Ravenscroft's student-led fundraising team for Crucial Catch has been recognized as the top fundraising school in the nation, 超过了30美元的目标,6美元以上,000, and once again winning the prestigious Pink Cleat Award.
While third-graders were engaged in remote learning this spring, each of them created a time capsule to document their experiences in this extraordinary moment in history, with the plan of opening it when they are seniors in 2029. Students used the project to reflect on who they are as independent learners and how their feelings have changed throughout their stay-at-home experience. In addition to completing a packet exploring different elements of their lives, 他们选择了艺术项目, class assignments and personal mementos that represent their time of virtual learning and added them to their time capsules. Classroom teachers and the Winston Library staff provided guidance and support.
Knox Musante ' 29, 妮可·威利斯班上的学生, shared these reflections about the work he did on his time capsule.
Why was this experience important to you?
This experience was important to me because it will take me back in time to this time, unless time travel is invented by 2029. The time capsule project is something that I have enjoyed doing, and I am really excited to stumble upon it when I am a high school senior at Ravenscroft.
What did you enjoy most about this experience?
我喜欢一切. 这是一次很棒的经历. I enjoyed finding items to put in the time capsule, and I enjoyed doing the paperwork. The worksheet that I liked the most was the “You Are Living Through History Right Now” page.
