| CSG is going to the Zoo! The culminating event of Children's Book Week is an all-school field trip to the Columbus Zoo on Friday, April 8. For families with an active Zoo membership, the Zoo requires a copy of a membership card for free admittance. We are requesting that you email a photo of your membership card to Jane Rudicel. We will compile all of the memberships in a secure spreadsheet, and the Zoo will scan the photos on the day of our field trip. Please note: Students do NOT have to have a Zoo membership to attend the CSG Zoo field trip. For those picking up and dropping off Lower- through Upper School students directly at the zoo, drop-off begins at 8:30am and ends at 9:00am, and pick-up begins at 2:00pm and ends at 2:30pm. If your student will be dropped off and picked up from CSG, please follow standard pick-up and drop-off times. To avoid paying for parking, please tell the staff that you're dropping off or picking up children on a field trip. It's going to be a grrrrrrrrrreat event! As we prepare for the zoo, we'll be celebrating Children's Book Week in the days leading up to our field trip—keep an eye on our social media pages for related events. |

This is a co-ed program available to students in grades 3-12. Check out the options below! For students in grades 3-5 In creative, play-oriented activities, campers rising into grades 3-5 spend a week programming animated characters, building cardboard automatons, exploring multiple robotics platforms, and more! Register here. For students in grades 6-12 This year, HER Academy is also launching summer programs for middle and high school students in grades 6-12. We're offering each of the one-week introductory and intermediate classes two times this summer. 3D design and animation teaches students the skills needed to design in a 3D space. They will learn to create 3D dimensional objects, characters, and environments with a focus on solid surface modeling for video game and animation assets. Students will then animate these structures through the use of rigging and keyframing. All of these will be completed using Blender, a free and open source software that is used by many video game companies, including Ubisoft. Register here. |
