Laurel School

Head of School Ann V. Klotz highlights this year's school theme of managing transitions on our blog, School of Thought. A fitting topic as we begin our first of many transitions this year from summer break to a new school year. bit.ly/SchoolofThough… #LS4G #SchoolofThought

Seventh Grade immersed themselves in their study about the 1883 Chicago World's Fair last week with a roundtable featuring special "guests" who attended the fair like Thomas Edison, Frederick Douglass, and more. A great segue into their Class trip to Chicago this week! #LS4G

Today's Middle School Assembly marked a long tradition of Green & White fun at Laurel! New students received their Green or White Team assignment, which will become their team forever, and a headband with their color. Cupcakes were enjoyed by all. Go Green! Go White! Go Laurel!

We anticipate a joyful end to the school year and look forward to many more years of inspiring girls (and very young boys) to fulfill their promise and to better the world.

Laurel School was disappointed to be the target of another school's senior prank which spread misinformation about our school and its future. This is an important reminder to all that social media is a powerful tool and should be used for good.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Spotlight on Grace DeCiccio '19 who is a Social Media intern for @girlsschools this year. "A graduate of an all-girls school herself, Grace attributes her confidence in the classroom & beyond to the education she experienced at Laurel." #LS4G #DreamDareDo bit.ly/3LSBgq0

First & Second Graders took to the streets (or sidewalks!) on their bikes for a fun two-week-long bicycle unit in PE class. This favorite among our students builds girls' confidence on two wheels and also teaches them about proper bike maintenance and safety checks. #LS4G 🚲
