Virtual PJ Party

Iona - 4th grade

Iona hosted a virtual pj party and collected over 60 pairs of pjs for kids this year. Iona was inspired by Giving Tuesday ideas and came up with a virtual PJ party. She made flyers to put in neighbors mailboxes and asked her mom to post on FB as well. They delivered a box to Children's Inn at NIH (Wash DC), a box to Ronald McDonald House in Baltimore, and sent a big box to Cradles to Crayons in Philly. They also set aside a few for a local family in need. She sent thank you notes and candy canes to all who donated. She really enjoyed thinking about the smiles the cozy and cute pjs will bring to kids this holiday season!

Final Exploration

Lilia - 10th grade

Final Exploration - Virtual Field Trip for World History Honors Course
Lilia had chosen to create this painting off of what she had learned in the National Women's History Museum. The painting you see is a current figure in a museum that has and is still making history, Malala Yousafzai. In the piece that she had created, she wanted to not only show what she looks like, but also what she has done. The art medium she used was water color for her face, hair, stems of the flowers, pen for the writing and lastly, real rose petals cut out to make her headdress. The writing surrounding her are all things she has said that stood out to her. Most of them represent one of her main missions, " To give all girls education, and a a chance to grow up to who they want to be" ; Hence the flowers, they are growing and blooming. All in all, Lilia feels she is an inspiring and amazing woman of history!
