At Fayerweather, students know that knowledge and action go hand-in-hand, especially when it comes to art! After studying the impact of zines and learning from activist artists like Keith Haring, they create their own work, from zines to graffiti, speaking to issues they care about.

Our community partnerships are one of the ways that we make connections between the classroom and the outside world. This week, we want to highlight some of the partners we've worked with, starting with our neighbor, Evergreen Day School, who organized a visit with Victor Bradley, Jr with us!

As we close the book on the last full week of Pride Month, we wanted to take a look back at how we have spent the last year supporting and fighting for the rights of everyone to be who they are, love who they love, and to do so fully and without fear. Happy Pride!

On Monday evening, some of the 3/4 students spoke at the Cambridge City Council meeting in support of a policy order regarding the opportunity to install green and gray infrastructure following the demolition of the MBTA garage at Alewife. We are so proud of our student activists!

What do sushi making, nail art, kickball, capture the flag, lock picking, camping, teddy bear picnics, and Catan have in common? They're all just some of the projects - organized by FSS staff -- that Fayerweather students got to try their hand at during our annual Project Day!

Congratulations to our Ultimate Frisbee team (The Discos!) for the culmination of a great season! The team crushed it this season, coming together to become a true force on the field. Three of our players were also nominated to join a local all-star team. Way to go, Discos!

Our Unit students brought curiosity and joy to NYC! From rainbow bagels in Central Park to Harlem, the Apollo, Stonewall, and Times Square—they were engaged, inquisitive, resilient, and vivacious every step of the way. 🗽🌈🎭 #Fayerweather #PlaceBasedLearning

Students in 5/6 explored the science of bread! 🧪🍞 We tested acid/base reactions with baking soda & buttermilk, learned how yeast produces CO₂, and even inflated balloons! After collecting natural materials at Fresh Pond, we captured wild yeast and used it in our final bakes, shared with families.

As part of their Humanities unit on immigration, our Unit students had the privilege of hearing first-hand the stories of members of the extended Fayerweather community who have experienced what it's like to immigrate to the United States. Thank you to our panelists for sharing your experiences.

Our commitment to justice goes hand-in-hand with our focus on place-based learning. Recently, our 3-4 students visited Mystic Lake as part of a lesson on watershed and ecolories as well as a student-led project to raise awareness about the importance of the Mystic River Watershed to the area.

Through our focus on place-based learning, students learn deeply by connecting knowledge to physical space. Recently, our 5-6 students visited the Old State House & Old South Meeting House to learn about the historical sites where our current government was tested and formed. #Fayerweather
