Parkmont’s Garden
Summer may vanish in a flash, but so much happens during those long days and warm nights. Sunflowers seem to grow a foot every few days, half-wilted broccoli seedlings mature into brawny, broad-leafed monsters, once-spindly tomato plants suddenly have arms everywhere, laden with fruit. Back in May, then 9th-grader Micah devoted serious labor to preparing […]

Thank you to Annabelle for making such a persuasive case for a pet snake, and to Gabo, who coordinated bringing Cornelius and all the necessary equipment to school. Cornelius was only about 10” when he first moved into the Southeast Room in […]
Student Art Contest
In November, Parkmont senior Xavier organized an art contest that drew impressive entries from all ages. The optional theme was School Spirit. While many opted to follow their own muses, the contest did indeed generate lots of enthusiastic school spirit. Congratulations to Parnyan, whose dreamy palm tree won first place! We love everything about this […]
Snow Days
After two days of cancelled school and two days of Zoom classes, everyone was thrilled to return to campus after the January snowstorm! A huge thank you to Sam and students Mikiyas and Ebenezer who warriored through a frigid weekend to clear our sidewalks and driveways, making sure we could all get back safely.More students […]
