Join us for one or both of our Mini Matisse workshops, designed to inspire creativity and a love of reading and art.

Tying picture books and the visual arts together, each child will leave with his/her own masterpiece inspired by the story.
If you have friends, neighbors, or family members who may be interested in attending with their children, please encourage them to register! Younger siblings of current students are welcome, too. Registration is limited to 15 children (ages 2½ to 5) who are not currently enrolled at Severn. Parent attendance is required.Contact: Sue RichburgLacrosse - Middle School Girls Maroon

Do you ever wonder who "gets in" and "why?" "The Admission Game" (TAG), presented by Peter Van Buskirk, former Dean of Admission at Franklin and Marshall College, takes you inside the admission process for the answers. TAG is a high energy, high impact, interactive, case study exercise for students and parents in which the audience is transformed into an admission committee. In a manner that is more theatre than lecture, Peter engages his audience immediately in a "conversation" by talking with them in relevant terms that help ease the stress of an otherwise frenzied process. This signature program reveals the "hidden agendas" of colleges and provides insight into how decisions are made. Students learn to find the colleges that fit them best and to make decisions that help them compete for admission. All Upper School students and parents are invited. This event is in place of the College Admission Forum on Sunday, April 7.Contact: Laurie Duguay -

We are nearly one month away from exams in the middle school. If it feels a bit earlier, it is! As you know, after (one/two) years of reflection and research, the middle school decided to move exams from our typical time in June to May so that teachers and students may use the exams not only as a way to measure learning but also as a way to inform knowledge and skill gaps in each student with time to address those gaps before year’s end, so they may learn the class material best. Included in this timeline is time and commitment for each student to reflect on their study skills before the exams.*Please join Dan Keller, middle school head, and Laura Drossner, English department chair, on April 23 at 6:30 pm in Roche Lecture Hall (in Creeden Hall) to gain a better understanding of this intiative and to ask questions of the value of moving exams earlier in the year.Contact: Dan Keller -
