To celebrate National Poetry Month this April, Hassenfeld librarians are using K-12 voices to showcase a wide range of poetry. Just outside the library doors, you will find a bulletin board covered in poems submitted by K-12 students, faculty, and staff. These poems are written onto paper leaves that come together to create our “poet-tree.” The leaves altogether showcase multiple languages, styles, and writers (some are even originals from our USN community). Stop by to appreciate everyone’s writing and celebrate the art of poetry!
Congratulations to Anisha Nachnani ’32, who turned heads with her project, “Plastic Beneath the Surface: Quantifying the Impact of Soil Microplastics on Early Plant Development.”
Several Middle School students represented USN at the Nashville Perennial Math Competition, and all four teams qualified for the Perennial Math National Championship in May.
USN students participated in the 73rd Youth In Government conference at the Tennessee State Capitol and neighboring buildings in downtown Nashville. Several students brought home awards, and the entire group did a fantastic job representing USN.
USN Mission: University School of Nashville models the best educational practices.
