Madame Sanborn’s AP French class studied the classic Antoine de Saint-Exupéry novella Le Petit Prince in the fall. As part of their final assessment, they entered the ‘Conversation with The Little Prince’ writing contest sponsored by UNESCO, the Antoine de Saint-Exupéry Foundation, Le Labo des Histoires, and #LearningPlanet to celebrate the 120th anniversary of the author’s birth. While it appears to be a children’s book, The Little Prince is quite philosophical with perpetually relevant observations about life and human nature.

I've been working with Rohan Mehta '23 and Yan Yu '23 on an independent entrepreneurship competition this year, the Conrad Challenge, to help with developing a senior-citizen focused social media site (S.A.G.E.). Basically, the site is aimed at connecting senior citizens with each other and is meant to help with combating social isolation (which is extremely prevalent now in the pandemic landscape).
