As part of our celebration of African American History Month we discussed how quilt squares were used to help people navigate the Underground Railroad. The different squares were symbols that served as reminders. For example, the Flying Geese square was a reminder to follow the geese that would be flying north in the springtime and would not be far from water. The girls made construction paper quilt squares. Didn't they do a great job?! Ask your daughter to identify her square and to tell you the secret code it held!
Today the girls rehearsed in full costume for the first time. They did a great job! We can't wait until next week when the rest of the school and our parents will see the play.
Yesterday the girls participated in the Crows vs. Canaries basketball game. They had a lot of fun demonstrating their shooting, dribbling, and passing skills. Lots of points were scored, and everyone had a great time!
9-A and 9-B have been working hard on our Play, Olivia Saves the Circus. The performance will be in mid-February. Here is a sneak peak of one of the songs!

Today we had a Ravens dress down day to celebrate their upcoming playoff game. The girls enjoyed showing off their purple and black. Go Ravens!
Yesterday the girls of 9-A got to share their favorite holiday books with their Sixth Age Buddies. The Ninth Agers were looking forward to this opportunity all week, and everyone had a lot of fun!
