List of 18 items.

• Art Appreciation Club

  Have you ever wondered how art confronts our soul? How it can move us to love, sadness, joy—to experience the sublime and the absurd? How does a painting work upon our souls and transcend our material reality and connect us with one another? In art appreciation club we follow the story of art history from the renaissance with Giotto, Michelangelo, and Caravaggio, tracing a line to William Turner, Mary Cassatt, Henri Matisse all the way to Rothko, Basquiat, and more.

• Peace and Quiet Club

  Peace and Quiet Club lets students use all-too-rare quiet time to read for pleasure, write creatively, draw, work puzzles, think, or pray, as they choose. No computers or other electronics; recharge by unplugging.  

  
  

  Because the students can use the time for a variety of thoughtful activities without distraction, what they learn depends upon what interests they choose to pursue.  They choose the books they want to read, the stories/poems/letters they write, the pictures they draw, etc.  Such self-directed, creative, quiet time lets students pursue their own passions without dictation from an authority figure -- an opportunity all-too-rare in schools.  

  
  

  Great minds agree on the value of silence:  

  "Silence is the element in which great things fashion themselves together."

  --Thomas Carlyle, writer, philosopher, historian, mathematician, teacher, and translator

  
  

  "True silence is the rest of the mind, and is to the spirit what sleep is to the body, nourishment and refreshment."

  --Sir William Penn, Founder of Pennsylvania
