GRAND FRIENDS’ DAY 2022

For the first time since 2018, Breck welcomed Lower School, Middle School, and Upper School grandparents and special friends into our school to see what learning looks like every day.

During the 2021–22 school year, Middle School art students from Visual Arts Teacher Morgan Mercer's class assembled a two-part mural using 100 hand-drawn portraits. While art is often an individual pursuit, this mural focuses on the power of the collective to create a sum that is greater than its parts. For this piece, each student drew two blind continuous contour portraits — one of themselves and one of a classmate. This mural not only represents and recognizes the unique contribution every student brings to Breck, but it celebrates the greatness and beauty we can achieve when we keenly observe those around us, when we examine our own reflections for better understanding, and when we come together to work toward a common goal.
