BCD’s Penguin took a summer vacation visiting the Berkshires, but didn’t come back for the start of school.
Last seen in prominent Berkshire spots, the Penguin left behind clues of where he could be found.
With the help of the entire BCD school community, the clues were gathered and the ninth graders headed off to find the Penguin!
They still weren’t quite sure what to expect so they brought along tools and equipment that they thought they might need.
They mystery continued…where were they headed?
After great teamwork and problem solving, the ninth graders found the Penguin!
When on the lake, why not take the boat out for a sail?
Thank goodness Henry brought his fishing gear!
BCD’s Penguin had never been bowling before, so the ninth graders took him to the Cove!
Mrs. Benner. Thank you so much for investing so much time and energy in creating a wonderful experience for our 9th graders. At first it was all a big mystery, they were puzzled and surprised by the clues provided by the BCD community. Great interactions that lead more than to the discovery of the BCD’s Penguin, but a discovery and reconnection with each other. What a great way to start the school year! The 2013 9th graders could smile while being blind folded because deep inside they knew they were safe, that the adventure has been clearly planned, the leader is ready to lead and on top of that they have each other to hold their hand. Thank you!
Mamma B,
I have to agree with everything that Eleanore had to say , how very lucky our children are to have this experience. Kendall had quite a memorable time and from that experience now wants to pursue sailing!
Thank you,
Claire
