January 01, 2020

As we enter a new decade, let's reflect on some of the amazing moments we’ve experienced so far this year.

Students gave back to the community during the holiday season.

This year, our second graders collected 1,243 books for the South Bethlehem chapter of Cops -N- Kids.

Our fifth-graders collected 90 coats and 144 other winter items to give to Pinebrook Family Answers in Allentown.

The Middle School filled 196 Holiday Hope Chests —a record-breaking number - filled with age-appropriate stocking stuffers to give to homeless and disadvantaged middle school age youth in the Lehigh Valley.

Our boys’ soccer team captured the PIAA A State Championship.

This capped off an incredible post-season state championship run as they outscored their opponents by a score 14-2.  With the win in the State finals, the boys’ won all three major titles this fall: a Colonial League title, a District title, and a PIAA State Championship. Thank you to all of the students, parents, faculty and staff who supported our teams during the course of the fall season!

Seventh graders selected topics for their SCORE projects.

As our independent research curriculum continues to take shape, our goal is for students is to find continuity between projects from year to year as they hone their research skills in each division. A great example of this are Jack Lu '25 and Harry Vicic '25, whose project is colonizing Mars. Says Harry, "I did my research on Elon Musk for a fifth grade project and that got us interested in [researching the topic further]." 

Each seventh-grade student is encouraged to choose a research topic that sparks a deep personal curiosity and turn it into a project that is meaningful and purposeful. One student may write paper while another student produces a podcast, and and yet another creates a photography portfolio. The possibilities of what a student chooses to do are limitless.

Seniors are finding their right-fit colleges and universities.
