TEACHING EMPOWERMENT

Caralena Peterson ’10, author of The Effortless Perfection Myth, returned to campus to share her expertise on the subject of mental health with the Flint Hill community.

She visited with the senior class, had lunch with Upper School student leaders, and spent time in the Middle School with 8th graders talking about dominant vs. alternative narratives.

In the evening, the Alumni Office and Parents’ Association co-hosted a meet & greet with Caralena in addition to a book discussion: “Beneath the Surface: What Your Seemingly Selfsufficient Child Secretly Wants From You.” She fielded questions from the audience and participated in a Q&A moderated by her former teacher and lifelong friend, Upper School English Teacher Tracy Peterson.

CROSS-CAMPUS CONNECTION

UPPER SCHOOL GRAPHIC DESIGN students made their way to the Junior Kindergarten classroom in the Lower School to engage our youngest Huskies in some fun visual design exercises, and, in turn, gained an appreciation for the vast visual imagination of 5-year-olds.
