“Legally Blonde” HS Performance Photos Available

We hope you had the chance to see “Legally Blonde” this past weekend! The reviews are in, and the show was a rousing success! Our talented high school students did a great job of bringing their characters to life onstage and had alot of fun doing it!

Discovering History: Fourth Graders Study World Explorers

Dispatched on faraway quests to secure riches and territory for their countries of origin, and fueled by curiosity and courage, the discoveries of early world explorers in the western hemisphere are a standard piece of the fourth grade social studies curriculum at Mount Madonna School. Recently fourth grade students shared their Explorers Project research in presentations to their classmates, and it was evident that the students had been fully engaged in learning about the explorers’ lives and exploits.

‘We learned about Danish explorer Vitus Bering,’ explained fourth graders Amirah Ibragimchayeva and Addy Catterall-Pendleton. ‘Bering went to sea as a teenager and later joined the Russian navy. He led several dangerous expeditions.’ The Bering Strait, the Bering Sea, Bering Island, Bering Glacier and the Bering Land Bridge have since all been posthumously named in his honor.

New Family Referral and Sibling Incentive Program

Mount Madonna School’s New Family and Sibling Incentive Program provides a tuition discount to current Mount Madonna School families who refer new families to Mount Madonna School. The program includes referrals that result in newly enrolled students who join the school at any point during the school year, and it is intended to offer our current families a way to help grow the School community while also making it financially easier to send their children to Mount Madonna School.

Self-Discovery and Empowerment: “Legally Blonde” at Mount Madonna School

Edgy, ironic and bitingly funny, Legally Blonde also contains a message of empowerment and self-discovery, and believing in one’s own capabilities whether you’re woman or man, blonde or some other hair color. This upbeat musical is infused with contemporary music in various styles, including ballad, reggae, snappy funk and big Broadway-like ‘show-stoppers.’

Tickets for Legally Blonde are on sale now and can be purchased through Thursday, January 23, in the school office or by calling 408-847-2717. After that, tickets will be available at the door.

Tickets are $10 for students 18 years and under, and $15 for adults. Mount Madonna School alumni are $10 on Friday and Saturday.

Tickets may be purchased by check or cash; or with a credit card for orders of $25 or more.

Memorable Haircut: Student Donates Hair to Locks of Love

On Christmas Eve, high school student Amelia Busenhart had a very special haircut – one she will remember for a long time. This time, rather than snipped hair landing on a salon floor, Amelia’s lengthy pony tail was donated to the nonprofit organization Locks of Love, which uses human hair to craft wigs and hairpieces for children afflicted with long-term or permanent medical hair loss.

Way to go, Amelia!
