This month in the Athenaeum After-School Program, scholars were transported to Medieval Times. They were immersed in activities based on tapestries and stained glass, the Canterbury Tales, and medieval-themed games. They also contemplated how knighthood and acts of chivalry required a great deal of courage, the virtue of the month.
Next month, scholars will have an uplifting month of “Twists of Fall” where they will encounter many seasonal favorites.
