Winterim
Multinational Fair
During the first two full weeks of March, our students were immersed in Winterim, Lawrence Academy’s longstanding tradition of experiential education. Winterim is a central feature of LA’s educational program, breaking students out of their routines and groups and encouraging them to open their minds, bodies, and hearts to new experiences and relationships. There were more than 20 programs to choose from, including “Master Chef,” “Give Kids the World,” “Quilting is Sew Easy,” “Building an Elegant Canoe,” “Service Learning in the Dominican Republic,” “Leading Men: Championing Healthy Masculinity in the LA Community,” and “Sports Journalism.”
On April 21, LA’s international community welcomed all students, faculty, and staff to learn more about the different cultures and countries represented at the school. MacNeil Lounge was transformed into a world’s fair, with food, music, activities, and celebration.
