The Ross School High School was blown away by the soulful and commanding spoken word performances of Abraham Velazquez, Carvens Lissaint and Kiara Townes from Urban Word NYC last week. They shared their poetry through song, performance and even human beatboxing, and later taught a poetry workshop.
On April 23, the third graders finished their studies on early humans with a wax museum featuring these early ancestors and the scientists who greatly influenced the understanding of evolution. For Earth Day,the fourth grade held a plant sale, which sold out in less than an hour and ultimately raised $217 to purchase mulch for the Lower School garden.
Yeah!

Speaking of gardening…. does anyone know of a non toxic organic maybe, tick remedy? I use monthly prevention treatment on the dogs and I think my dogs are carrying them in. The tick may possibly be hanging out in the fur as they won;t bite when the dogs have the drops on. I however found one in my hair, just about to make a nest there on my head!!! Today i found one hanging out in the leftover Sunday paper. Any advise would be appreciated.
Thanks!
