That nifty new logo is showing up everywhere: in new signs on the school, on letterhead, in local publications and on that great CafePress gear. The old signs will find a new home in the FAD or similar.
Admissions Season has begun
- BPC Parent Carly Dennett of Flowerland Nursery has been donating her expertise (and rolling up her sleeves) to beautify the school perimeter.
- School Tours are booked into December, a positive early indicator.
- The new format for Open House (an ever-evolving event)
- Family event, not just for parents
- More hands-on activities in the classrooms.
- A Talk, then snacks, then 3 groups of prospectives rotate through demonstrations in classrooms, accompanied by parent hosts. The last hour they can choose between a Kindergarten presentation, Socratic Lesson (with Tim Ogburn in 5th), stay in the library or explore the property.
- School enrollment is at 232, within the projected range of 230-235. And there are a few kids still trying to get in for the current year.
Climbing Wall: Some of the backstory and details
Thanks to a few sponsoring “angels” stepping in, the climbing wall was installed on schedule by the upper school playstructure. It’s 26’ tall and accommodates 3 climbers at a time, on an automatic belay system that lowers kids back to the ground: no falls are possible. There is no access to the wall unless a trained faculty member is present. It serves as a powerful metaphor for the kids, and it’s a memorable feature for the admissions season, which has just begun. In future years, the admin team intends to add additional smaller scale climbing elements on the lower school side.
