Taking inspiration from a Mars rover and the amazi

Taking inspiration from a Mars rover and the amazing engineering that it takes for it to land on the planet’s surface, 4th and 5th grade designed their own landing crafts! Their builds were dropped from the top of the Lower School building with the goal of keeping their precious cargo safe: an egg!

Every year, The Yale Club of Dallas connects with local schools in search of junior students who show outstanding character and intellectual curiosity. Often, these students are the leaders of extracurriculars and are top of their classes.

Through that search, Clariden junior, Benjamin, was selected to receive this year's Yale Book Club award! Benjamin was gifted "The New Yale Book of Quotations," hand-signed by a representative of The Yale Club of Dallas, North Texas's chapter of the Association of Yale Alumni, along with a personalized letter and information about Yale University. Congratulations to Benjamin for his outstanding work in the classroom and beyond.
