MAS is fortunate to border Kelley's Pond! We love being able to teach students about the natural resources in their community. Students were partnered with 8th graders from CMS to assess the overall health of the pond's ecosystem, as part of our Earth Week science lessons. Students performed water quality tests on samples from the pond and observed organisms living at the pond to evaluate the overall health of a pond ecosystem. We are grateful that the weather has allowed for so many great outdoor learning opportunities during Earth Week.
Theatre Studio and Stagecraft classes at Chatham High School went to see The Notebook on Broadway. CHS class of 2017 graduate and Theatre Alumni, Kimberly Scaglione, came to speak with both groups about her experience as a Production Assistant on the show. We love reconnecting with alumni and hearing how they are applying what they have learned in their careers.
