Grade 5 egg drop
The challenge: Can you use Newton's Three Laws of Motion to design a device that will slow an egg down and prevent it from cracking when dropped from a bridge? Read about how it turned out.
Spring Concert
This year's Spring Concert is a "Pops Concert" featuring popular and contemporary music. The concert takes place Thursday, May 24, at 7:00 p.m. in the PAC.
No special costumes are required this year, so all students should come in the usual concert attire:
- Girls: Appropriate party dress with dress shoes. Because students are moving on stage and seated playing instruments, dresses should be modest in length—no formals, strapless, or spaghetti straps. Shoes should be flats or heels that are no more than 2 inches in height.
- Boys: White or solid-colored dress shirt, tie or bow tie, slacks, and dress shoes. Jackets are optional.

Grade 7 girls ice cream social
The Upper School Admission Office invites the Grade 7 girls to come build an ice cream sundae with us on Wednesday, May 9, from 2:55–3:25 p.m. in the Hacienda Courtyard.
