To kick off spring, kindergarten and first grade students went fishing in the Hassenfeld Library with LS Librarian Emily Theobald.
By Emily Theobald, LS Librarian
Spring is here, and it’s time to go fishing! That is exactly what our kindergarten and first grade students did during their library enrichment time last week.
We outfitted the students with magnetic fishing poles, and they attempted to find a fish with a special number in our makeshift pond. Students took turns until each one caught a special fish. They then received a mystery book with the corresponding number to take home for the week.
There was great excitement as the fish were caught, and our fish catchers were excited to tuck the mystery book into their book bags for a surprise when they got home. Hooray for spring!
The Quiz Bowl team traveled to Bowling Green, Kentucky, to face several top teams from across the country at this year's South Warren Tournament. USN's second-place finish earned the team an invitation to the National Academic Quiz Tournaments' National Championships in May.
In an inspiring new initiative, USN's health care career spotlight, organized by Ruchika Ramachandran ’27 and Yvonne Wang ’27, brought a wealth of alumni back to the school for an evening of shared expertise and personal stories. This first-of-its-kind event was a great example of the power of connection, mentorship, and community evident throughout the USN community.
Ahead of the All Bands Winter Concert, students got to play for Larry Clark, the composer who arranged the holiday medley that the band will perform at 7 p.m. Tuesday, December 9 in Durnan Auditorium.
