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.

Post-play euphoria! We had a great time!

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