7th-Grade Monterey Trip: Invasive Species, Flora and Fauna, Biodiversity and Classic TEA Adventure
There were plenty of challenges, successes, and silly moments and along the way we found opportunities to embrace ALL of TEA’s character traits.
TEA’s 2nd Annual Grandparents and Friends’ Day was a HUGE hit!
We had 70 visitors to campus for a wonderful afternoon that included a deep dive into our character traits, student performances, interactive classroom lessons and more. Thanks to everyone who helped make this new tradition so spectacular. We look forward to doing it again next year!
Springtime on a Farm in Cool, CA
TEA 7th Graders had a productive trip to 49er Farm last week, where they helped prep the garden for Spring planting. It was hard, messy work and the students even impressed themselves with how much they accomplished. But they also got to enjoy a beautiful sunset, and some quiet moments of reflection on this beautiful property in Cool, CA.

2023 Spring Celebration of the Arts
Our student artists showcased their processes to create each of this year’s collaborative class paintings, all created with a theme of honoring our land (historical images and species native to this region). They also unveiled their all Lower School collaborative mosaic titled ‘On Top of the World’ in conjunction with the all Lower School student performance of the song with the same name!

On Wednesday, March 22nd our CommuniTEA gathered at Alibi Ale House in Truckee, California for the return of TEA’s Got Talent! We wanted to thank everyone who joined us for a truly memorable and uplifting event. It was an amazing evening to not only showcase the talents of our students (and some wonderful Faculty Flash Mob dancing!) but to come together in celebration as a community.

What does it mean to be a citizen?
TEA 10th graders explored this question on a recent trip to Washington D.C. They gained knowledge together in comprehensive tours of museums, by exploring the city on bike, by paddling the Potomac, by metro, and on foot, and in conversations with engaging and insightful locals.
