Why We Climb - Mountain Day 2023

October 6th, 2023


 
 
 
A Stoneleigh-Burnham School education means students are immersed in real-world learning making classroom work relevant to their lives and futures. It also means students are expected to view the world around them as their classroom. Today, our classroom was Mount Skinner!
As a school, we return to campus and settle into our classes and then we climb! 

The morning began with "Bigs and Littles" sharing breakfast on and off campus (including Bett's house!).

The sense of belonging to something bigger, connecting with nature, and the feeling of accomplishment as friends greeted one another at the top was palpable.

Most people don’t have a mountain in their front yard so climbing Mount Skinner was the first mountain climb for many of our first year students!

Despite the mist, the view at the top was all smiles.
