Vignettes of HTMMA

Vignette 1

Last year, when the third story of our building was still being built, the builders forgot that they left a gaping hole in the ceiling, and this resulted in massive flooding and a day off from school. Though this may not represent what HTMMA is all about, it does show that we were still a budding school, with many things to learn about construction, design, and gaping holes in the roof. It was the closest San Diego had ever come to a snow day.

Intersession was an excellent way to try a new schooling experience, learn new things, but above all meet new people (sixth graders in particular). It gave all of us an opportunity to try something new; a two-week intensive study of a certain subject. It was very relaxing; a nice chance to have a sort of a break while at school. But it wasn’t completely a break. We had to memorize lines and act in a play. Fortunately, these were things we enjoyed doing, so we were learning while having fun.
