In late June of last year, a group of 11 Pingry faculty and staff members embarked on a journey to Georgia and Alabama to explore African-American history in the United States. They began in Atlanta, where they visited The King Center and paid their respects at Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and Coretta Scott King's gravesites. The exploration continued at the Madam CJ Walker Museum and the Apex Museum.

Next, they traveled to Montgomery, Alabama, where they visited The Legacy Museum, which “offers a powerful, immersive journey through America’s history of racial injustice.” Their visit in Montgomery also included stops at The Freedom Monument Sculpture Park and The National Memorial for Peace and Justice.

The final leg of their trip took them to Birmingham, Alabama, where they toured the historic 16th Street Baptist Church. They were honored to meet Dr. Carolyn McKinstry, a survivor of the 1963 church bombing, who led them on a personal tour of Kelly Ingram Park and shared her story.

to when Grade 2 went to Pottersville on Earth Day to learn more about the Lenape and how they used the land and local resources to give them everything they need to sustain life! Students practiced archery, molded clay pots, and even built lean-tos out of sticks!

We can’t believe it’s already been one month since Reunion! From the Alumni Tent at Celebrate Pingry to all the Class Parties, it was truly a memorable weekend. Thank you to everyone for making it so special!

Sunday was a joyful day filled with reflection, gratitude, and pride as we honored not only all that our graduates have accomplished, but the kindness, curiosity, leadership, and spirit they have shared with our community along the way.

Congratulations to the Class of 2026!🎓💙

Field Day fun in the sun! ☀️😎💙🤍
