Students and faculty at Quaker Ridge School greeted residents at an Open House on April 28 with a Celebration of Learning event. The Quakerbill program guide outlined the broad range of attractions for children of all ages and local residents.
Visitors were greeted at the school entrance by a student performance of chamber music and the Environmental Fair Club promoted tips on how to reduce, reuse and recycle. Students in other parts of the building gave demonstrations on Spanish fun and games and Web 2.0 learning tools including online Scrabble. Fourth graders dramatized historical world explorers in the faculty room while fifth graders waltzed to ballroom dance in the auditorium. Visitors also perused the work of writers in all grades in the impressive Hallway of Writers.
Longtime community residents and newcomers alike were treated to fresh perspectives on Scarsdale academics and got a sense of the enthusiastic learning community at their neighborhood school.
