2019全球教育周

For the week of January 28 through February 1, 韦德娱乐app下载地址 hosted our annual 全球教育周!

我们首先在阿贝大楼挂了一张世界地图,供学生和教职员工张贴他们住过和/或去过的地方. The photo shown here denotes Costa Rica, where Solebury hosted a 2017 春假旅行 and will return again this spring. 这名学生的帖子捕捉到了旅行和体验新文化的美好:“两年前我去了哥斯达黎加, and I fell in love with everyone's laid back attitude. Growing up in New York, everyone's in such a rush. I don't think anyone enjoys anything because they're rushing."

Also, as a preview to 全球教育 Week, 9th grader Morgan Barnes hosted 韩国流行音乐之夜 in Holmquist Dorm on Saturday, January 26. Students chose the music videos to watch and snacked on special treats!
