Our 1st grade students participated in a meaningful Service Learning project this holiday season. The students were involved in all aspects of the all-school Thanksgiving Food Drive.
The Writing Club, an after-school program comprised of 3rd-6th grade students, is proud to present the 2020-21 edition of The Clarion, Carlthorp School's literary magazine.
International Day is a long-standing Carlthorp School tri-annual celebration focused on teaching students a myriad of cultures through hands-on activities, classroom lessons, and workshops.
The popular Storytime tradition continues into the 2020-21 school year, bringing families together on Tuesday nights to hear bedtime stories, share special news, and socialize.
In honor of Hispanic Heritage Month, the 4th grade students completed research projects focused on civil rights leaders, actors, musicians, journalists, authors, Nobel Prize winners, and so much more.
On Friday, September 25, Carlthorp launched a new program called Family Groups. All students in grades K-6 participated in the first meeting of a monthly activity aimed at connecting the students and faculty and staff across grade levels in a consistent and meaningful way throughout the school year. Each month Family Groups will meet virtually on Zoom and participate in themed meetings with activities and projects to be planned in advance and facilitated by 5th grade students.
The first Family Group meeting consisted largely of ice-breaker activities that helped the students get to know one another better. As the year progresses, Family Group activities will be action-oriented and focus on tenets of the Code of Conduct.
“It was so nice for the students, faculty, and staff to connect with each other through Family Groups. The bonds that are developing and the consistent interactions between members of each group will help increase a sense of community and belonging, which is particularly important while we continue our distance learning program,” explains Steve Springer, Interim Head of School.
On March 30, Carlthorp School began a Bedtime Stories series that welcomes current families to tune in for a different bedtime story read by a faculty or staff member on Monday-Thursday evenings.
We hope you enjoy The Clarion, Carlthorp School's Literary Magazine. The magazine is a compilation of student works published by the Writing Club. Ms. Ho (5th Grade Teacher) and Francesca M. (6th Grade student and Editor-In-Chief) along with 22 other students worked hard throughout the first trimester to bring the publication to life.
There is nothing more inspiring than student leadership, and our student council has exemplified the meaning of leadership throughout our period of distance-learning.
On March 13, 2020, Carlthorp School closed the campus to students, parents, faculty and staff and announced that our Distance Learning program would commence on Monday, March 16.
