Boys and girls affinity groups meet during lunch

Yesterday, Tenacre’s affinity groups for boys and girls met during lunch. Both of these groups are open to students in fifth and sixth grade. The Boys Group, which is new this year, discusses topics related to being a boy at Tenacre and in society in general. Girls Can, the name of the girls’ group, considers the experience of being a girl at Tenacre and in society in general.

In yesterday’s Girls Can meeting, nearly every girl in fifth and sixth grade attended. They created visuals for a bulletin board display for the main floor of school. During this hands-on project, each girl was provided materials (pens, glue sticks, colored paper, stencils, etc.) to produce a visual representation of our group. The results were unique, varied, and beautiful. Attendance for the Boys Group was equally high. In their meeting, they shared ideas on what it means to be a man.
