African Drumming and Dance

First graders accompany our Kwanzaa celebration with African drumming and dance.

Installation Art

An installation piece on the southeast lawn of NCCS (between the Stevens Building and the Winter Club) contributed to by each seventh and eighth grade student was completed and enjoyed during the month of December. Black umbrellas were designed with white positive/negative optical patterns inspired by geometrical Japanese art. All students participated in the installation of their work. After nominating titles, students voted to name the piece "Umbrellalicious." The community enjoyed the work as well. Cars stopped. People took pictures, and telephone calls were received!

Upper School Mask Making

Seventh and Eighth Graders designed three-dimensional masks with the challenge of using materials to create movement when the masks are worn. The process included using cardboard, newspaper, plastic containers, tubes and tape to form the shapes, and papier mache to sculpt and secure the forms. Masks were then painted and elaborately enhanced with many different materials. The masks are now on exhibit in the Stevens Building.
