100 Book Challenge Last year, the 2nd Grade teachers challenged all 2nd Graders to read 100 books during the school year in honor of our 100th birthday. The children added a link to their book chain for each book read and returned to school throughout the spring with a long chain link of 100 books!

ArtWalk Includes Alumni Work

nce a year, the Collegiate campus becomes one big art gallery featuring many works by many students, from self-portraits and furniture to drawings and ocean creatures. This year, in honor of our Centennial, a special Alumni Art Show was included – in Saunders Family Library.
