A lucky group of Summer at St. Patrick's students have been spending the week making their own books under the guidance of St. Patrick's librarian Jamila Felton. Beyond being an outstanding librarian, Ms. Felton is a poet and bookmaker. For two weeks this summer, she has been leading children on an exciting exploration of book arts and creative writing. Campers are learning elements of art and writing along with a variety of bookbinding techniques.

This week, campers are exploring abstract art in Art Is Alive, imagining, creating, sharing, and making beautiful books under Ms. Felton's direction! Enjoy a few photos of the campers in action in the library of our beautiful MacArthur Campus.

It is with great sadness that I share the news that Anne Muir—the longest-serving member of the St. Patrick's faculty and staff and easily one of the most talented and beloved—died on Thursday, July 12, at Sibley Hospital. Anne had recently chosen to forgo further cancer treatments and live as fully as possible in her remaining months. She was hospitalized earlier last week and died peacefully, surrounded by her immediate family, including husband Cassin, her children Elizabeth '80 and Brad '86, and Brad's wife DeeDee.

St. Patrick's is partnering with the Yale Club of Washington, D.C. to host a discussion about race.
