Friday, November 9th, our South Campus field trip class watched the play, Danny, King of the Basement. The theme of this play is homelessness. In order to prepare for the outing and to gain a deeper understanding, the school studied this heartfelt topic. The week before the trip, the school dedicated a day a day to gain awareness around this compelling subject. The Junior High students made cookies for a local Women’s shelter (a teacher delivered them after school) and at the end of the day, everyone came together to watch the elementary students perform the play, Stone Soup. Afterwards, students participated in a group discussion and shared their insights about homelessness.
Tuesday, October 30th – Mike Bauer, Kenmore Safeway Manager, welcomed the Tuesday Service Learning class into his store to explain how the grocery industry operated. He took the kids on a tour, explaining profit margin, product placement and how to run a successful store. The students had an opportunity to have a question and answer period afterwards. This hands-on experience would not have been achievable in a classroom. Thank you Mike.
Gorgeous models! Blaring music! Clicking cameras! Fashion Friday at Chrysalis was a hit with students, models and teachers alike. On October 19th, our creative arts team of Drama, Fashion and Photography came together to produce our first, fabulous, fashion photo shoot! The north campus theater was transformed into an edgy set right out of an Anthropologie catalog as Brittany, Ciarra, Anna and Chandler took the part of professional and stunning models. Nick, Tim, Elliot and Michael were our photographers snapping the fierce event. They were coached by our photography teachers Brendon and John. Students Elysse and Adelle were our brilliant make up artist and clothing stylist. Behind the scenes, our fashion and drama teachers, Margaret and Jennifer, worked tremendously hard to create a collaborative environment where student talent took center stage. Models were picture perfect as they scurried from makeup, to styling, to the set. Not only did everyone have an amazing hands-on experience, but the shots captured were “Vogue” worthy! Students are already buzzing about developing and participating in our next Fashion Friday event!
