Children’s House Collaborative Art Project

This year, Children’s House students came together to elevate our learning space. It all started with a tree that was created and placed in the main hall of our second level at the Lower School. Each season, students in Children’s House collaborated to create different pieces of art with our Art Specialist and in class to adorn the tree. It was wonderful to witness the reactions of the children and staff when each new look was revealed. Children would run around the tree to find their contribution, even spotting artwork by their friends. The art project represented the coming together of the Children’s House community, while positively adding to our beautiful learning environment.

“We think of ourselves far too frequently as just individuals, separated from one another, whereas you are connected and what you do affects the whole world. When you do well, it spreads out; it is for the whole of humanity.”

– Archbishop Emeritus Desmond Tutu

Elementary Winter Celebrations

After a few years of quiet, we were thrilled to have all Elementary students diving into music with our Winter Celebration Concerts before their well deserved March Break. You wouldn’t have been able to tell that for some students it was their very first time on the TMS stage, while others were returning to it after such an unanticipated delay. The preparations that occurred behind the scenes reinforced the life skills of goal setting, perseverance, responsibility, collaboration and confidence. The final product brought many to their feet from the very moment the performers hit the stage, keeping them on the edge of their seats until the final notes. Whether it was the Lower Elementary performing “Etiquette Rap”, or Upper Elementary students performing on a variety of instruments, there was no denying the joy of performance has returned once again to TMS. We can’t wait to see what the 2023/2024 year brings!
