 Summer Camps Offer New Format, Programs
With the winter weather still in full force, Lakehill turned its attention toward the warmer months and began preparing for summer with the unveiling of its new Summer Camps program - complete with a new format and a variety of new camps.
Lakehill Summer Camps offer programs for boys and girls entering kindergarten
to twelfth grade, with weekly sessions beginning June 7 and ending July 30.
From computer technology, nature exploration, and outdoor education to
academics, performing and visual arts, and sports, parents are sure to find camps that will turn summer into a
learning adventure for their child.
Don't miss the new offerings this year in forensic science, ecology, cooking,
photography, stop-motion animation, and more! There is even a PSAT/SAT
Boot Camp for high school students looking to get a head start on their
preparation for these tests.
Lakehill Summer Camps are unique in offering quality, teacher-led camps at an
affordable price, with FREE before-camp and
after-camp care available every day. Camps are $200 per week for a half-day
session (up to five hours per day) or just $275 per week for a full-day session
(up to 10 hours per day). Camps will be offered both at Lakehill's Main Campus
and at the Alice and Erle
Nye Family Environmental
Science Center. So, who's ready for summer?

Dedicated Delegates

 Fourth Grade Mini-Musical Brings History to Life
The work
of many minds, the U.S. Constitution stands as a model of cooperative
statesmanship and the art of compromise.
Lakehill's fourth grade students recently brought history to life as they
shared the story of how the Constitution was created. To coincide with their
study of American history, students performed the mini-musical, "Shh!
We're Writing the Constitution" on February 19 for Lower School students and parents.
The story focuses on the Constitutional Convention of 1787 and the trials and
tribulations of the delegates as they worked to create an ordered system of
government.
The cast featured the fourth grade students as delegates to the Convention, and
included Warren Lester as George Washington, John Spencer Mustin as James
Madison, Bailey Hollingsworth as Alexander Hamilton, and Hayes Dunlap as
Benjamin Franklin. The students were under the direction of Linda Booth.

 The Heart of the Matter
As Lakehill second graders wrapped up their study of the human body, anxious thoughts turned to one of the most anticipated field trips of the Lower School experience. The annual trip to the
Museum of Nature and Science to
participate in a hog heart dissection is a much talked about, possibly life changing event for Lakehill's second grade students.
The hog heart is the organ of choice as it is almost identical to the
human heart, although much larger. The students, wearing gloves and goggles, work in teams to dissect the heart and explore the various parts.
Although the dissection is actually geared toward Middle School students, every year the docents rave about the preparedness of the young Lakehill students. "We learn so much about the
heart before attending this trip," explained Patti Brooks. "The students always impress the docents with their knowledge, enthusiasm, and expertise with this activity."
