Exchange Students - Farewell to St. Christopher's
This morning in US Chapel, two of St. Christopher’s year-long exchange students spoke about their time as students. Marius Vilemas from Lithuania and Ryan Fang from China talked about what an accepting and kind community St. Christopher’s has been. After the presentations, Marius hung the Lithuanian flag from the balcony. He is the first exchange student from his country to attend St. Christopher’s. Jan Korb, an exchange student from the Czech Republic, hung his flag too.

Review of Its Ghostly Workshop
Writer-in-Residence Ron Smith's new book, Its Ghostly Workshop, reviewed by Jeffrey Beck, Kean University. To learn more about Ron Smith, CLICK HERE. Here is a sample of the excellent review: "Its Ghostly Workshop is aptly titled: a work of haunting poetic craftsmanship. And what kind of haunting is it? Ron Smith constructs the seven sections and 45 poems in the volume deliberately to haunt—with the specters of history, poetic tradition, boyhood memory, palpable doubt, and transient pleasures. Edward Teller, Edgar Allan Poe, Ezra Pound, T.S. Eliot, Pauline Bonaparte, Mickey Mantle, Jesse Owens, Leni Riefenstahl, and other ghosts make their apparitions in these lyrics, which layer historical facts with poignant, present desires, and frequent allusions to artistic monuments. It is a heady haunting, always with humor and poetic skill."

St. Catherine's Middle School Choirs also competed and enjoyed the theme park with the boys.

8th Grade Students Skype with Spanish Class in Jamaica
Boys in a St. Christopher's 8th Grade Spanish class interviewed students in Jamaica today to find out about their families, their school, and their city. The boys were nervous about Skyping with the Jamaican Spanish students from the American International School of Kingston, but in the end both groups enjoyed meeting new friends and learning what life is like in two very different cities. The class in Kingston is taught by Kelly Parker, who will teach 8th grade Spanish at St. Christopher's next year.
