SECTION ONE
turning point By Gemma Fudge 8th Grade
Last month, the Turning Point community had the opportunity to enjoy the annual Middle School drama production. “I chose this play because it celebrates learning and imagination,” said Turning Point’s theater teacher, Jane McEneaney, about the middle school
production of The Phantom Tollbooth. The play tells the story of a boy named Milo who receives a magical tollbooth that allows him to travel to a fantasy land. He uses the booth and the help of a dog named Tock
to free two princess and to restore order to the land. The play had three performances and was a huge hit. Audiences loved the set, which was made of cardboard, inspired by the box the tollbooth comes in. The costumes were designed to resemble insects. Ms. McEneaney hoped that the cast and audience would not only enjoy performances but that they

PILGRIM
By Christopher Woods 7th Grade Hello everyone from the wonderful community of Larchmont and beyond. I hope you had a great St. Patrick’s Day. Pilgrim has a very talented student body, from singers to dancers to poets. So to let our students shine and share these talents, we had our annual Cafe Barnum talent review. I performed Neil Young’s “Old Man” solo, as well as “Message to Rudy” with a group of classmates and Stephen Hurley, one of our English teachers. “Got to Get You Into my Life” by The Beatles was performed by a student/ teacher band as well. 6th grade student,Yixiu Lin, blew us all away on piano with a Chopin Etude. A very special thanks to Ms. Kris Williams, who is our wonderful Secondary Librarian who organized the show. As most of you probably know, March is Women’s History month. Here at Pilgrim we were treated to some meetings with our student gender equality group, GESA, who put some really cool signs all over campus. Thanks for sharing stories and informing our minds. Go Patriots!

GALA

Experience Immaculate Heart!
A Private, Catholic, College Preparatory School for Grades 6 – 12 Students of GALA have recently been on many field trips. One of the field trips was to the Aerospace Corporation. The GALA girls built mini spaceships out of sprite bottles, clay, and styrofoam wings. The GALA girls also got to explore what it is like to work in the Stars Room. GALA ended the field trip with homemade liquid nitrogen ice cream! Ninth graders recently went to the Los Angeles Zoo. Joining them were engineers who were involved in planning some of the
Marlborough By Sydney Gough 11th Grade
Marlborough’s Drama Ensemble recently performed their rendition of Robert Harling’s “Steel Magnolias.” As a tribute to a diabetic character in the show, the members of Drama Ensemble decided to donate some of the proceeds of the tickets sales in addition to donations from a bake sale to the Pediatric-Adolescent Diabetes Research and Education Foundation. Marlborough’s student-run philanthropic club, the Violets’ Giving Circle, organized a charity fashion show on March 19 to raise money for organizations serving girls’ rights and education. The theme of the fashion show was “Iconic American Women through the Decades” and Marlborough students both designed and modeled the featured pieces. Celebrity guest judges included famous female entrepreneurs Tamara Mellon, Gina Rodriguez, and Erin Foster. The event was a terrific success! Marlborough Summer School, a day camp for students in Kindergarten-9th grade, gives current Marlborough students the opportunity to gain valuable work experience by allowing them to apply for paid positions. The process entails both an application and interview. I remember attending Marlborough Summer School as a little kid, so I can’t believe that it’s now my turn to be a counselor! zoo’s habitats. GALA 9th graders learned some more about the California High Speed Rail Project. Students attempted building bridges using paper and paperclips and layered materials to clean dirty water. GALA had the privilege to go to an Alvin Ailey dance performance after studying about Ailey in physical education. GALA girls watched a video about Ailey then got to experience the dances in real life. In honor of Women’s History Month, we are holding a contest between 6th and 9th graders. Students can draw a picture, write an essay, make a poster, or put together a collage in honor of women. Winners are chosen at the end of March. A few weeks ago some GALA girls had the privilege of going to USC for an engineering activity called Women in Engineering (WIE).
