Ethical Culture students immersed themselves in the world of shapes, structures, and spatial reasoning during Geometry Day! Our annual math celebration is an interdisciplinary exploration of how math touches every aspect of students’ life and education.

After kicking off the day at a joyous assembly featuring dance numbers choreographed by the Society for Ethical Culture’s Artist-in-Residence Jody Spurling, students spent the day examining the geometry of musical instruments, the impact of design on structural stability, and the presence of symmetry in art, nature, and architecture. Their rigorous inquiry and playful exploration inspire us all, and we’re already looking forward to next year!

On Saturday, ECFS welcomed athletes, volunteers, and community members to campus for our 13th annual Special Olympics basketball and swimming invitational! It was a joyful day of competition and camaraderie as we cheered on the athletes and celebrated the culmination of months of student work!

Fieldston Upper’s Special Olympics Club is one of our largest student-led organizations, and their hard work, which included coordinating the logistics of the opening and closing ceremonies, managing basketball teams, providing an energetic audience for the games, and more, made the day a success! Thank you to our incredible volunteers, athletes, and club advisor Karen Drohan for your hard work in creating a special day for these athletes.
