First-year students “Catch the Spirit” Posted on Oct 26, 2009
To go on retreat is to move away from the ordinary events of every day. Members of the Class of 2013 did just that on October 21. It was a day of firsts for Lauralton Hall students. First-year students experienced their first Lauralton Hall retreat which was led by their peers, juniors and seniors representing Campus Ministry and Peer Mentors. This was the first time a retreat was led by students, rather than an outside retreat team. Tradition continues...juniors receive class rings Posted on Oct 20, 2009
In a ceremony conducted by the class officers, class rings were blessed by Sister Dorothy Synkewecz and presented to the juniors by President Antoinette Iadarola. A special touch, and another Lauralton tradition, was the presentation of class rings by alumnae mothers to their daughters: Eydie Walker Moyer, ’83 to Myla and Carol Lyddy O'Connell, ’76 to Katie-John.

Advanced Placement Environmental Science teacher April Kelley and History Department Chair Marilyn Cummings accompanied 29 AP Environmental Science students on October 9, to Mondo Pond in Milford for an Environmental Assay Survey. The students spent more than three hours surveying the environmental conditions of the pond and its surrounding habitat. After a guided nature walk around the pond led by Mrs. Kelley, the students settled into their assigned roles in the Environmental Assay Survey. Some aspects studied were dissolved oxygen levels, fecal bacterial counts, water quality (pH, nitrate & phosphate levels), soil quality (texture, pH, nitrate & phosphate levels) and species diversity.

Students succeed at Science Olympics Posted on Sep 30, 2009
Forty teams of middle school girls from schools throughout Connecticut spent Saturday, September 26, competing in a variety of science challenges. They built a tower that would support weight, launched a homemade rocket and calculated the age of a “fossil.” Wind Over Wings, a non-profit wildlife rehabilitation and education center, brought four of their feathered friends including a great horned owl for a presentation on birds. |
