$Kindergarten Summer Math Calendar - The Park School$

around Ruby Bridges Visits Park I n May, Park students in Grades VI – IX met a living legend. Ruby Bridges, the little girl immortalized in the Norman Rockwell painting (below), walked up the steps of the William Frantz Public School in 1960 to become the first black student at the formerly all-white elementary school in New Orleans. Now, she spends much of her time visiting school children across the country, speaking with students about her story and the many lessons to be learned from her experiences. Musical Horizons M aking good use of the 2009 Horizon Fund grant he was awarded, Adam Young (math and social studies 2006– ) spent a week at a fiddle camp on Thompson Island in Boston Harbor. Next summer, he’s planning a trip to the Emerald Isle to refine his fiddling skills and jam with experienced Irish musicians. (Former parent and trustee, Nel Stoia, established The Horizon Fund to provide faculty members with special opportunities for personal enrichment, travel and professional development.) 2 The Park Bulletin | Fall 2009
High Stakes P robability theory came to life for Dr. Chris Hartmann’s Grade VII math class in February. Upon entering the classroom, visiting second graders each received ten tickets that they could use at the Math Carnival. The older students had designed and created presidential probability games that cost one to three tickets to play, based on the chances of winning. Everyone really was a winner at this event!
