A recent visit to King’s newly renovated Simon House provided Grade 3 students with a tangible connection to their school's rich history and the various roles that contribute to its community. During the trip, students engaged in a lively scavenger hunt across the three-story building and met with former Head of School Sue Cesare and former teacher Cathy Mishkin, who shared important artifacts and stories from King’s past. The experience helped students understand the complexities of their community as they prepared to conduct interviews with members of the King community for their next lesson.
