On this Throwback Thursday, we celebrate our commu On this Throwback Thursday, we celebrate our community connection with the Asheville Fire Department (@ashevillefd)! Each year, fire fighters visit our preschool students to teach fire safety, familiarize students with the gear they wear, and to allow the children to explore a fire truck. 

The first photo in this batch, features a current 7th grader and a current 8th grader posing by the wheel of a fire truck when they were preschoolers 10 years ago! The rest of the photos in this batch are of today's preschool visit with the fire department. We are so grateful to have this partnership year after year!

Positive Risk Taking and Resilience - The social i Positive Risk Taking and Resilience - The social impact of failure becomes a more significant factor in the elementary child’s learning environment, requiring educators who can support students' own ability to face challenges with tools for resilience and perseverance. The elementary years are a critical foundation for long term healthy identity development and strong habits of learning. 

Our fourth graders recently closed out their ancient civilizations unit with a lively performance about Egyptian mythology. This production engaged students in six of the Rainbow Seven Domains™:

Mental Domain - Students made meaning out of the content and memorization of lines.

Social Domain - Students collaborated and played off of each other as well as encouraged each other when they had challenges.

Creative Domain - Students learned about the importance of key elements like props, setting, costumes and sound effects.

Emotional Domain - Students were challenged to consider the perspective of their  characters and to think about how tone of voice and facial expressions help to convey  a character's emotions. They also overcame their discomfort or embarrassment about performing. 

Spiritual Domain - The play connected student learning about Egyptian mythology with how the ancient Egyptians explored the big, unanswerable questions of the universe.

Physical Domain - The class blocked scenes and learned how to use their bodies to engage in physical comedy.

We love seeing the seven domains at work and It is inspiring to witness the way these kids take on challenges and come together to support one another and grow together. It is now a few weeks later and the kids (and their parents) are still talking about this incredible performance!

Guided Choice and Increased Autonomy - Essential t Guided Choice and Increased Autonomy - Essential to the adolescent years, our middle school program ensures that student autonomy is nurtured, student passions are celebrated, and young people are reinforced in their own ability to work through difficulty and challenge. This culture of guided independence is strengthened by the depth of relationship fostered between the students and their teachers. 

At the end of every quarter, students have an opportunity to showcase what they have been learning in their Elective classes. The passions and talents of our students are always a joy to witness. Here are just a few highlights from our Quarter 3 Electives from courses that include: Spanish, Printmaking, Rock Band, Visual Storytelling, Scriptwriting, Stop Motion, Team Sports, Pickleball, and Baking.
