Neil Deshmukh '20 is among only 25 students nationwide who received the 2019 Gloria Barron Prize for Young Heroes, an award that celebrates inspiring, public-spirited young people from across the U.S. and Canada.
This week, my eighth-grade math classes were engaged in a modern-day math "Escape Room"! As part of the simulation, students were tasked with decoding eight challenges in order to successfully finish their mission. After solving each challenge, a special code was revealed. To verify if the code was correct, decoders then had to unlock a physical or digital lock, find the code using a red lens viewer, or use a UV flashlight to read invisible ink.
In the science lab, Kindergarten-Grade 5 used ultraviolet flashlights to search for “germy” handprints made with a product called GLO GERM, which creates powder-based simulated germs.
