It was a gorgeous weekend on which to celebrate the commencement of the Class of 2024; nature smiled upon us—literally. Mrs. Haines shared this image on Saturday with the message: "Here are some smiley face clouds over our lake. Even the sky is smiling upon our graduates!"

Last month, the Elementary students were thrilled to see their baby chicks hatch. Said Mrs. Carpenter, "They're adorable!" #rectoryschool #juniorboardingschool #connecticut #newengland #privateschool #elementaryschool

During the tiny art contest this spring, students were challenged to create a piece of art on a 2-inch square canvas. They created wonderful 2-D and 3-D art entirely from their own imaginations. Our winners were James S. '25, Ace A. '25, Kinaya B. '25, and Khurziya M. '25.

Chef Dave stopped into the Elementary School last month to share a tale about food, part of a new initiative called Book Bites. Chef Dave said, "I look forward to being able to go into the Elementary classroom and interact more with the students there."

This spring, Kara Burke ran a cooking elective in which students had fun creating different recipies. When the group said they really wanted to make tanghulu, a Chinese candied fruit, of course Ms. Burke said yes! "What a fun process!" she commented. #rectoryschool #connecticut

Mystic Seaport Museum visited last month to guide students through fun and educational activites. Design-A-Mission introduced students to the engineering process behind space exploration missions. In All About Boats, students designed their own small boats. #rectoryschool

The ninth-grade class gathered one last time at the year's end to reflect upon their time at Rectory and to think about life after graduation. Before enjoying some pizza, students were invited to write a letter to their future self, which will be given to them in ten years' time.

Before the end of the school year, some of our graduates gathered on the Odeum Patio to celebrate the next step in their journey by proudly donning their secondary school sweatshirts. Congratulations, graduates, and best of luck! #rectoryschool #juniorboardingschool #connecticut

There's nothing quite like that first glimpse of the year's yearbook and that thrill of passing it around for signatures and messages from friends. Thanks to Mrs. Gould and her Yearbook class for another beautiful edition! #rectoryschool #juniorboardingschool #ct #connecticut
