Preparations for The School's first-ever block party - to be held Saturday, October 17, come rain or shine - reached a fever pitch on the eve of the big event. Students dressed in blue, teachers danced to "Rock Around the Clock" - make that "Block" - and parents sorted mounds of material for the rummage and book sales. Above, Annette Raphel, head of school, rallies students to join parents, teachers, and alumni in volunteering at the celebration.
