Trying Out Chinese Martial Arts |

Jack Guo, the instructor from Wu Dang Kungfu Academy in Orange, and two of his students came to Foote on February 24 to demonstrate and teach martial arts. More than 100 students participated in the Hosley Gym, learning about one of the most well-known components of Chinese culture. Lower School Chinese teacher Wenyan Witkowsky organized the special event. Find more photos on her blog.

Walk Like an Egyptian |
|
Fifth graders capped off their study of ancient Egypt on March 3 with Egypt Immersion Day. They dressed up as ancient Egyptians, paraded "Pharaoh Maya" around campus, worked in teams to build play-dough pyramids, constructed a bridge from notecards and enjoyed a parent-provided lunch with foods the Egyptians might have eaten. Check the blogs of teachers Jim Adams, Jake Burt and Adam Solomon for more photos, and click the still frame below to watch a clip of the Pharaoh parade.
