RESEARCH: This week, we got to listen to our high schoolers present their spring semester independent research projects and our 8th grade class present their semester group research project! With topics that ranged from mechanotransduction to Japanese architecture, it's safe to say we all learned a lot this week by listening! Major thanks to Ms. Gam, Dr. Sohl, and Dr. Clinton for serving as the faculty advisers for these students as they completed their projects throughout the semester. Great job, everyone!

OPEN HOUSES in person at LSAS on Friday 5/28 and Friday 6/4. Curious students who aspire to positively impact the world belong at Loudoun School for Advanced Studies. Come see for yourself 9am-4pm. #greatteachers #stem #greatschool @loudoun_school

FINAL COUNTDOWN to another LSAS graduation. Seniors creatively thanked the faculty for making their school experience unforgettable.

DIRECTOR OF AWESOMENESS Our seniors created an elaborate tribute to faculty, but especially Mrs McCrae who makes all of our students feel special everyday! #mentors #greatteacher @loudoun_school

ESCAPE ROOM: LSAS students “escape” from chemistry using their knowledge as the key.

Our Pre-Algebra and Algebra 1 students spent the day presenting the data they collected and learning the importance of statistics.

COLLECTING DATA How many countries can you recognize on a map? How many unread emails do you have in your inbox? How many minutes (on average) do you read per day? Our Pre-Algebra & Algebra 1 classes gathered the data and crunched the statistics. #math #data @loudoun_school

MUSIC: Students in Ms. Ellen's middle school music class are currently discovering the effect that music can have in movies and how it contributes to the storytelling of the film. Students are stepping into the role of both the director and actor as they write and act out their own mini-movies while supplying them with a soundtrack that enhances the mood of their scene. This week, we are finishing up our scripts, making costumes, and starting to film!

BALANCED curriculum, from conversations about nuclear reactions and fascism to exploring craft projects and playing capture the flag. LSAS empowers students to build confidence, discover their gifts, and thrive. Learn more: https://www.loudounschool.org/our-mission. #greatteachers #stem #creativity #activekids @loudoun_school

CREATIVITY: Students in Mr. Percoco's history class proudly present their finished projects - Roaring 20s & Jazz Age historical figures on cereal boxes!

COMMUNITY SERVICE: LSAS students, parents, and faculty had such a wonderful Saturday this past weekend at the JK Community Farm. We got to harvest kale, spinach, and potatoes while helping weed the gardens in preparation for upcoming planting projects at the farm. It was so nice to spend the first official day of spring outside on a beautiful day with our school community!

THEATRE CLUB: The LSAS Theatre Club is in the middle of rehearsing their original short play about a brother and sister who accidentally fall into their mom's purse while searching for a pen, similarly to how Alice falls down the rabbit hole to Wonderland. They encounter all sorts of characters one might find in a purse on their hunt to find the pen and get out of the purse: a wallet, a pair of ear buds, a sleeve of tissues, and more. The club can't wait to premiere their show this spring!

FOOD+PHOTOS: High school photography students work with backlighting thinly sliced fruits as they learn about creative lighting techniques for still life shots... here’s some of the amazing images they captured! #art #creativephotography @loudoun_school

Pi DAY FUN in prealgebra, students are measuring the circumference and diameter of many objects in the classroom to discover the theme of the day. #piday #math #stem #greatteachers @loudoun_school

ASTRONOMY NIGHT at LSAS: students and teachers enjoyed a night under the stars, eating pizza, and playing games. Thanks to Dr Sohl and Mr Romero for facilitating this event. #astronomy #stem #greatteachers @loudoun_school

GUEST SPEAKER: Students in Mr. Percoco's middle school Conversations in US History class had a Zoom meeting with World War I historian and author Mitchell Yockelson to discuss when "History Meets Hollywood." During their study of World War I, students watched the 1941 film "Sergeant York" starring Gary Cooper. Yockelson helped students understand that there is a difference between real history and "reel" history, and that some of our heroes are created in order to meet the needs of a society.

CREATIVITY ZONE: after-school Art Club at LSAS! From cardboard construction to comics, watercolor pencils to paint (& a few things in between!), students enjoy the freedom of creating personal projects & experimenting with ideas! As Einstein said, “creativity is intelligence having FUN!” #creativity #art #fun @loudoun_school
