Countryside School

Throwback Thursday - This week we go back to 2017 and our “Who Killed Caesar?” scavenger hunt. This yearly tradition typically takes place near the Ides of March - where our middle school advanced Latin class solves clues (translating them from Latin) to determine who killed Caesar. The game often involves additional teacher/adult players who the students interact with to receive their clues.

Huge shout out to Magistra McComas, our wonderful Latin instructor, for her creative game each year!

Throwback Thursday – Remember the Ocean Unit and building the boat in our kindergarten/1st grade classroom? Nineteen years ago - in 2007 - our fabulous boat set sail in the 4th of July parade – complete with bubbles coming from the smokestack! It was so typically hot that day (86 degrees). The older students walked with the float carrying a Countryside banner, and the younger ones rode on the float with Mrs. Doey and Mrs. Cox.

Does anyone have more photos of our "boat float"? Let us know!

World Cup: Scotland plays today! We’re in full support of Scotland coning statues!
