Ravenscroft varsity wrestling placed fourth at the North Carolina Independent Schools Athletic Association Championships, held Feb. 27, 2021, at Providence Day School in Charlotte.
The varsity girls basketball team completed another solid season under third-year coach Mike Ramel, securing the conference's second-place ranking.
Award-winning author Derrick Barnes joined the Lower School via Zoom to talk about being a writer and share his latest book, "I Am Every Good Thing."
While third-graders were engaged in remote learning this spring, each of them created a time capsule to document their experiences in this extraordinary moment in history, with the plan of opening it when they are seniors in 2029. Students used the project to reflect on who they are as independent learners and how their feelings have changed throughout their stay-at-home experience. In addition to completing a packet exploring different elements of their lives, they selected art projects, class assignments and personal mementos that represent their time of virtual learning and added them to their time capsules. Classroom teachers and the Winston Library staff provided guidance and support.
Knox Musante ’29, a student in Nicole Willis’s class, shared these reflections about the work he did on his time capsule.
This experience was important to me because it will take me back in time to this time, unless time travel is invented by 2029. The time capsule project is something that I have enjoyed doing, and I am really excited to stumble upon it when I am a high school senior at Ravenscroft.
I enjoyed everything. It was an awesome experience. I enjoyed finding items to put in the time capsule, and I enjoyed doing the paperwork. The worksheet that I liked the most was the “You Are Living Through History Right Now” page.
