Founders Day and apples




Founders Day is coming up on Friday. In preparation, the girls have begun to learn more about Bryn Mawr and the five women who founded our school.  Today, your daughters were given a founder's name and re-enacted the time when the five women got together to brainstorm what a strong girls school should entail.  Below are the five founders.....











...and here are Mrs. McMahon's girls doing their best impressions of the ladies above.


Mrs. Martin's girls enjoyed their founders tea party.


During social studies, we discussed "respect" (one of Bryn Mawr's core values) and used apples to show that we may all be different on the outside, but same on our inside.
