Eighth grade students recently presented their research on great architectural wonders of the Gunpowder Empires: the Great Mosque of Suleiman in Istanbul from Ottoman Empire (Turkey); the Great Shah Mosque in Esfahan from the Safavid Empire (Iran); the Cathedral of St. Basil in Moscow from the Russian Empire (Russia); and the Taj Mahal in Agra from the Mughal Empire (India).

If you find yourself on the fourth floor of the Middle School, make sure to check out the Moroccan ceramic tiles installation featuring beautiful student artwork. This year’s sixth-graders created these tiles last year as fifth-grade students with Arts Integration Coordinator Veronika Bromberg.
