…a project mentor. Darcie Moran, of MLive and The Ann Arbor News, discusses a group’s project with them. Charles and I plan to create a mentoring collaboration between students in the 8th grade science class and in the upper school journalism class, using journalism to support student engagement and empathy for environmental topics raised during the semester-long Sustainability Action Project (SAP).

This year, new students, including all incoming 6th graders, are invited to set up their lockers during our New Student Student Orientation on August 28 from 6 p.m. – 7:30 p.m. Returning students can choose to drop their things off during normal school hours (Monday – Thursday, 9:00am – 3:00pm) before school starts, or on the first day of school.

Jill Hakim & Katherine Selwa: The Completely Historically Inaccurate Adventures of Faraday and his Exceedingly Odd Friends: A webcomic and an animated short Michael Faraday, Mark Twain, and Nikolai Ivanovich Lobachevski were all very bright people who lived around the same century, never met each other, and were very influential in the scientific, literary, and mathematical communities, respectively. However, they died having taken part in dreadfully little swashbuckling and adventuring. We thought this was a terrible shame. We decided to remedy this crime of history by writing a webcomic in which…
