2011-2012 Middle School Yearbook

The 2011-2012 Yearbook is running hot in its final stages of production and editing. Yearbook Club members have spent the last weeks taking student, teacher, and staff photos for this year's publication.
Pages highlighting this year's Middle School experience include Dances, Sports, Field Trips, Community Building, The Lion King, and more!


This year's cover art has been created and the front and back cover contest was held last week, deciding this year's front and back cover winners - Teo O. (Front) and Josh K. & Trevor S. (back cover). As always all entries will be published on inside pages.

6th Grade Installation Art

6th Grade Sand Mandala Installation

6th graders spend an hour each week developing, planning, and crafting the details of artwork intended not for personal use, but to be enjoyed by the entire TBS Community.

This group of four students, Joe S., Max M., Crystal, and Margaux, explored the use of color and pattern using sand. They explored many different versions of an interactive installation, paper installations, and bottle installations before settling on the Sand Mandala pictured below. You can view the Sand Mandala in the South window of the Art Studio on the University Campus.
