Our graduating class of 2021 had a beautiful and memorable day on Friday, June 18th at McMenamins Anderson School Haynes room. Between the heartfelt speeches from seniors and personal messages from the consulting teachers to their students, the day couldn't have been more effusive and congratulatory! Here are just a few candid images from the day. Congratulations on your accomplishment seniors! You've earned it!
David and Jennifer celebrated the end of the year by making sushi! This dynamic duo has been exploring the world through cooking for a few years now. Favorites from their home kitchens this year include: minestrone, larb gai, and rhubarb crisp. This looks healthy and delicious! Thank you for sharing Jennifer!
It was so tasty too! Thank you Jennifer!
Looks amazing!! Well done you guys 😍
Our rescheduled Tide Pool Day was a fantastic mix of observation and participation! Over 15 families joined us with students, teachers, and parents exploring and connecting with each other. Students discovered some of the things they have been studying in class and got to see specimens up close in real life! Our science teachers had the weather specially ordered! 🙂 Thanks to everyone who turned out. Keep your ears open, with this success it might become a regular next year!
I was bumped I couln't make it but my son Andreas had a great time! Thank you for another fun event!
It was a lot of fun and such beautiful weather too.
Beach Pie Day is an Elementary tradition at Chrysalis! Even when the weather doesn't cooperate (like last Friday) we still celebrate. Thank you to all of the students and families that braved the rain, and thank you to the teachers and staff that came out to play. It was wonderful to be able to observe Beach Pie Day in person again this year, and to close out what was truly a school year for the history books!
Here we are in June and getting ready for our end of the year events! Tomorrow is our online Senior Portfolio Day and we couldn't be more excited to see the passions and projects of our seniors! (No school tomorrow except seniors)
June 4th was our Senior Prep Day and it looks like students are ready and thrilled that graduation is 11 days away! This year we will be celebrating in person at McMenamins Anderson School in Bothell with two ceremonies. This historic rollercoaster year has had many milestones and challenges but we did it together! Those successes and difficulties we shared made us stronger!
Check out a few of the candids from Senior Prep Day!
Last Friday we had beautiful weather for our parking lot prom event! Over sixty students and staff spent the evening playing games, getting reaquainted and just having a fabulous time! Our Spring Fling Carnival Thing was a hit! It's hard to believe the year is almost over! Check out a few photos from the night. Thanks to everyone who helped out and attended!
Our seniors have all kinds of plans for the future. From a gap year to working at a new job, to choosing colleges like UW, Bastyr, Cascadia, PLU and more, they are ready to move forward with hope and excitement! Today we celebrate senior, Elsi. In Nina Crampton's drawing class the assignment was to discover 10 new portrait artists- photographers, painters etc. and study what they do, how they do it, and discover what stands out? Using that inspiration from these artists, create a portrait to convey something about yourself. Elsi, your work is so intriguing and captivating! Congratulations on getting into Lewis and Clark, best of luck to you!
Congrats Elsi. You are ready for your next big adventure to college life.
Amazing work! Very cool.
So amazing and creative!
Very cool Elsi 😎
This is gorgeous!
Dorothy has been a teacher at Chrysalis for 17 years. And before Chrysalis, she taught in the Montessori setting for twenty years. It is safe to say that Dorothy knows her way around a classroom!
Dorothy has been a Chrysalis parent, as well as an employee, and is an amazing spokesperson for all that Chrysalis stands for. Dorothy meets each student, on each day, with extreme kindness and consistency. Dorothy has clear expectations of her student, and is not only their teacher, but one of their greatest cheerleaders. You should be in staff meetings when Dorothy is sharing about the most recent wonderful things that her students have accomplished-she beams! She truly cares for each child that she meets and loves to share with the world the successes of her amazing students. Dorothy is a pleasure to work with, and truly, one of kind!
Dorothy is truly one of a kind and an exceptionally remarkable teacher! I have had the pleasure of teaching beside her and looking at her as a mentor. My children have also had her as a teacher and grandmotherly figure in theirs live. Dorothy goes above and beyond expectations she truly embraces each of her students uniqueness and finds a way to connect and teach them ❤️
Dorothy is a true star!She has touched our family with her kindness and understanding. We miss her now that we are at the high school campus.
My son TJ is 18 now and he STILL talks about his wonderful time at Chrysalis with Dorothy. She is a true gem and a highlight of his education. Thank you for providing my son with such wonderful school memories💜
What a wonderful picture of six beautiful children and a very loving teacher. Happy School Days !! So glad to see--missed you last year. Charlotte Allison Lorenz's G-Grandma from California. 🤶.
