Cornwall School News 5/8/26
Today during a game of kickball, I was asked to hold an enormous bouquet of dandelions for Ms. Burns-Collins while the flower gatherer was up at “bat”. It was a fitting representation of the tremendous outpouring of student and family appreciation for our educator this week. Your heartfelt notes, flowers, the decadent lunch, a decadent coffee and tea service and soooo many pastries and treats were a testament to your support for our staff.
I feel so lucky to be part of this exceptionally supportive community, and I that so many of our Cornwall educators do, too. We felt the love. Thank you, thank you, thank you.💜💜💜
With gratitude,
Nadya
5th Grade Exhibition
This week, our 5th graders completed and presented their 5th Grade Exhibition projects. 5th Grade Exhibition is an important part of our International Baccalaureate (IB) Primary Years Program (PYP). This "capstone" project that celebrates everything they have learned during their learning at Cornwall School. It is a student-led, collaborative inquiry process. Students identified a real-world issue they are passionate about, and conducted research. This week they presented that learning to our school community, families, and other invited guests. It. Was. Magical.
We're so proud of our students' hard work, careful research, deep thinking, and collaboration with each other and with community partners. Their communication skills were on full display as they formally presented their work to a packed room, as well as more informally to each of our classroom groups.
5th graders celebrated today, as they prepared mentally for the Keewaydin Environmental Education Center (KEEC) adventure next week. We look forward to learning more about the steps they will take to make a difference when they return!
