Amideus Update - 2/2-2/3

Members of the Amideus priory engaged in a great classroom activity to further the concept of "Knowing Your Men." Desks were pushed to the center of each classroom, forming a long table of sorts. Students rotated around the table very 3 minutes, asking the person accross from them a set of questions to start off the conversation and letting it go from there. Questions revolved around siblings, family, previous schools, talents, extracurricular activities, college plans, and more. All students left knowing each member of their homeroom significantly better.

The following day, Amideus participated in a paper airplane contest. To further the "necessity of the other," each student paired up with another at least two grade levels away from them and collaborated on wide-ranging designs. The planes were launched off the 200 building; as it turned out, simpler was often better when it came to traveling the greatest distance.
