Though her work as choreographer for six Moses Brown Theatre productions brought her to MB before, Lea D’Arminio is now at the school as a full-time upper school math instructor as well as all-school movement teacher. This fall, she has very literally been everywhere on campus (inside and outside), and her boundless energy and effervescent presence have brought much joy and motion to all varieties of classes in every division.

On October 19 - 21, Moses Brown School hosted current and prospective families and alumni for an historic EXPO weekend. This annual celebration exemplified our commitment to one of Moses Brown’s core Quaker values: Community. Expo provides a special opportunity for past, present, and future members of the MB community to connect and enjoy this shared experience. Let’s take a look at the excitement of the events this past weekend!

In social studies, first grade has been discussing the different roles people have in communities. The class also considered less visible members of a community, such as people at Moses Brown who support the school but don’t teach or interact with classrooms regularly. As a way to branch out and meet some of these people at MB, they invited a collection of them to visit!
