Seniors in AP Physics classes participated in the eggonaut project on October 17. The students were challenged to combine their knowledge of forces to design a rocket to safely carry an uncooked egg upwards and land the egg without breaking it. The accelerating force was provided by a bicycle pump that pumped air into soda bottles containing varied amounts of water. Working in teams, the students received points for “egg survival” and “time aloft.” The students enjoyed the opportunity to put to practice concepts learned in class while enjoying a fun project.
Guest speaker discusses business trends Posted on Oct 16, 2005
Seniors in the Introduction to Business class, having just completed a unit project on Chinese business trends, had a guest speaker on October 11. Mr. Gene Baldino, father of Abby Baldino, ’05, works for a company that is considering investing in businesses that will be located in China. In his presentation, “China: A Country of Contrasts,” Mr. Baldino used pictures in PowerPoint to illustrate his discussion of the contrasts between big Chinese cities that resemble any big, American city and the poverty found in rural areas. His discussion included several topics ranging from currency, globalization, and sweatshop workers to communism providing a minimum standard of living to all, population control, local diseases and food. Students asked many thoughtful questions during this extremely interesting presentation. Eighth graders have fun at LH Science Olympics Posted on Oct 12, 2005

October 1, 2005 Best and the rest for the past week ...a Connecticut Post editorial Thumbs up to Lauralton Hall and all of its students and staff past and present on celebrating the school’s centennial. Founded in 1905 by Sister M. Augustine Claven, the all-girls school has produced some of the most successful women in the region, including U.S. Rep. Rosa DeLauro, D-3. In honor of the anniversary, each student wrote a letter to the Sisters of Mercy on staff thanking them personally for the welcoming and engaging community of Lauralton Hall. Also honored were the faculty of the school, who helped earn Lauralton Hall the reputation as one of the area’s most prestigious all-girls schools. And perhaps best of all, for the students at least, the ceremonies concluded with a declaration by the school’s President Barbara Griffin: no school on Monday.
