7th Grade scientists at Fieldston Middle visited the DNA Learning Center in Brooklyn this week to learn more about the genetic code that makes us each unique!

After completing a scavenger hunt through an exhibit about Ötzi the mummified iceman and what geneticists learned from his DNA, students ran their own labs on gene therapy and DNA fingerprinting. From discussing the ethics of manufacturing genes to learning how to use micropipettes, students applied their classroom knowledge to hands-on exploration of the expansive world of DNA — and learned some new facts along the way! 🧬 🧫

We had so much fun welcoming our Fieldston Lower families and friends to campus on Friday for Family Visiting Day! Every space in the building, from the library to the wood shop, was brimming with joy and scholarship as students demonstrated what a day in the life looks like at Fieldston Lower. The day ended with an assembly in the Gym, where the entire community sang songs to celebrate our amazing students! 🧡

Last week, love was in the air as Ethical Culture

Last week, love was in the air as Ethical Culture celebrated its beloved annual dance concert with the legendary Ms. Ethel Calhoun. This year’s theme, “All You Need is Love,” brought together various dance styles, capturing the energetic spirit of Caribbean Carnivals and the joy of renewal.

Before the performances, students shared what dance means to them. Addie M. ’32 reflected, “I love dance because it lets you let all your emotions out and makes you feel like a part of a community.” Calhoun, who is the embodiment of joy, encouraged students and the audience filled with parents, guardians, and teachers to inspire each other to be bold and shine unapologetically — all through the power of movement. 💃✨
