AP Government students welcomed Mary Beth Tinker, whose involvement in the landmark case Tinker v. Des Moines helped establish students’ First Amendment rights during the Vietnam War. She shared insights from her experience and answered student questions to bring the lasting impact of the case into present-day perspective.

Upper School students welcomed the Jack O’Kelley Foundation for a program focused on drug awareness and prevention. Through a presentation featuring multiple speakers including a retired DEA agent, students learned about the risks of illegal drugs, including fentanyl, and the importance of making informed decisions. The foundation also hosted a parent event the evening prior. A recording of the parent session was sent to parents via school email.

To conclude their study of World War II, eighth-grade students had the opportunity to hear from Vera Hoffman, the last living Holocaust survivor in the Savannah-area. Mrs. Hoffman shared her personal experiences during the war, offering students a meaningful and direct connection to this period in history. She also took time to answer thoughtful questions from students, fostering deeper reflection and understanding. We are grateful for her continued willingness to share her story with our school community.

Our 3rd–5th graders showed up for Earth Day in a big way, collecting thousands of cans to support the Ronald McDonald House. Shoutout to our top collectors in each grade: Wymberly (3rd grade), Everson (4th grade), and Eleanor (5th grade)! And an extra round of applause for our 4th grade tab challenge, an incredible 364,674 tabs collected. Special recognition to Aurelia, who led the way with 108,507 tabs on her own.

Upper School art students participated in the SCAD Sidewalk Arts Festival, creating large-scale chalk artworks in Forsyth Park. After practicing on campus in the Quad last week, our students were prepared to bring their own designs to life. In its 45th year, the festival transformed Forsyth Park into a vibrant plein air exhibition, and the Hornets were proud to be part of it.

The Students Celebrating Diversity Club hosted another wonderful Multicultural Festival! Our school community came together to celebrate cultures from around the world, sharing traditions, food, and more. Thank you to everyone who volunteered, representing many countries including: Germany, India, Ukraine, Korea, China, Australia, and more.

The Little School students brought the garden to life in their annual performance of Bugz! and charmed the audience with their energy and creativity. Each class embodied different bugs you might find a picnic, featuring everything from ladybugs, fireflies, and army ants, with even the littlest Hornets appearing as stink bugs. Bravo to the students, teachers, and staff for putting on this precious production.
