Join our Sixth-Eighth Grade performers in our Spring Musical: Monty Python's "Spamalot Jr."
Lovingly ripped off from the classic film comedy Monty Python and the Holy Grail, this middle school adaptation of Monty Python's Spamalot retells the legend of King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table. The 2005 Broadway production won three Tony Awards, including Best Musical, and was followed by two successful West End runs. The outrageous, uproarious, and gloriously entertaining story of King Arthur, the Lady of the Lake, and other intriguing characters, will give us all a good laugh as the actors search for the Holy Grail and “always look on the bright side of life.”

COVID-19 protocols for our performances:

Masks are strongly recommended.
If on the day of the event you have a fever or cold flu-like symptoms, please do not attend the performance.

Jesse Pearson's Recent Article in Independent School Magazine: Technology in the Classroom

3/30/2022

Jesse Pearson, 8th Grade English Teacher & Advisor, High School Placement Counselor, and Director of Experiential Education, reflects on the technological tools that became essential during remote learning and what role they should play in the classroom, and our lives, today.

"COVID-19 taught this generation that to be without technology is to be cut off from the world, from school and their friends, and from everything they value. It’s our job to teach them that that doesn’t have to be the case...It is OK for kids to learn that technology makes life easier. But we should not allow them to mistakenly think that it always makes life better."

MLK Day of Service and Family Potluck

3/30/2022

Our students, teachers, and staff celebrated a day of service in honor of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. on Friday, March 25th. Working with their buddies, the students engaged in various activities around theme of “belonging," learning about the importance of biodiversity and environmental sustainability. They also considered their own sense of belonging and reflected and wrote poetry to express their thoughts on the subject. The day ended with a special assembly where students shared their poems in buddy pairs.

In the evening, our community enjoyed a “What’s Your Dumpling?” potluck to acknowledge and celebrate multiculturalism at Marin Horizon. About 120 people joined the potluck event, including Marin Horizon and Horizon Community School students and families, toddler through 8th grade, and staff, faculty, and administration.
