Work has begun on this year’s Focus Week. Videos of current and past Focus Weeks have “FW” at the beginning, so please feel free to follow along. I’m on the Committee to create the environment of a Desert in the public spaces of the Lower School, so I’ll be making the following (pictures to follow):
- a 3-D pyramid out of double-wall cardboard, 8-9′ high in the Centrum, along the front wall, which will show the Sahara desert
- a Ghost Town scene outside our classroom, made of Kraft Paper, which will show and explain about the Nevada/California ghost towns (look up “Bodie”; I’ve been there)
- a stand-up mother camel and her baby, made of double-wall cardboard and made life-size, with standers so they can move about, with facts about camels on the back side
- palm trees, 8-9′ high with standers
- a Bedouin marketplace tent at the front entrance to the Lower School where Dr. Smith puts her morning message.
