Scenes from our Summer N.E.T Trips!

We are 3/4 of the way through our summer program, N.E.T (Not Enough Time!). So far this summer, students read Jefferson's Sons and visited Jefferson's home, Monticello; they studied Shakespeare and went to see The Merchant of Venice at the American Shakespeare Center and hiked the trail at Roaring Run. Here are a few pictures:

After Monticello, we went downtown Charlottesville and shared our thoughts on the First Amendment Wall.

Three trips down, one more to go! Hope you all are enjoying your summer as much as we are!
