As said in the email, it has been a real pleasure to share our community's moments of…

How could you find a better combination to end the year? Student-made Rube Goldberg machines with messages of hope scattered across the compilation. Thank you to Mr. Schultz for this submission and to the featured students for making these fun, creative projects to end the year. See you tomorrow! https://vimeo.com/423670374

Today's Daily Drop is an excellent call for service to our entire community. These photos show the members of SHP during their trip to Puerto Rico last February— a reminder to all of us to pursue volunteering in light of Goal 3. Thank you to Dr. Gautier for submitting these. Here's what she had to say if you want more context: "In February 2020, thanks to James Everitt, our "organizer extraordinaire," a group of teachers and staff from across our Sacred Heart campus spent their Winter Break doing volunteer work in San Juan, Puerto Rico. We spent most of the week…

Good morning and everyone and welcome to the new Quad site if you didn't get the chance to explore it yesterday. On top of everything that there is to see, take a look at this amazing Daily Drop sent in by Dr. Whitcomb: a picture of Ryan Mo and his family beaming as they celebrate what turned out to be an amazing graduation! We're so happy that SHP was flexible and found a system that worked. We're still accepting Drops until the end of the week, so get them in as soon as you can!

Thank you to Ms. Suarez for sending in some really creative and funny pictures of her daughter, Olivia, who put together a snail race! She even created a finish line and crown for the winner! There's a lot that we can do in the magic of our backyards as we wait to exit the shelter-in-place. Hopefully you are all getting ready for the big release tomorrow! Get excited for the new Quad website!

Tired of all the Zoom calls recently? I think everyone is in the same boat, but fortunately, there are other ways to use the platform that are allowing some members of our community to get together and decompress after a stressful week. Today's submission, sent in by Ms. Picetti, shows her way of using Zoom to socialize and relax: "Here is a screenshot of my friends on Zoom: Ms. Ignaffo, Ms. Bamburg, Monte, and Ms. Benjamin. We try our best to meet on Zoom once a week to vent, catch up, and celebrate our successes. Without my crew, this time…

Thank you all for making the Daily Drop what it is! Today's post represents the statistics of the Quad website since we first launched the Daily Drop... take a look at the huge difference in traffic on the Quad website! Thanks to all of you, we've created community and brought attention to student and faculty content more than ever before on the site. Coming soon, a new Quad website will replace this one before the end of the year. Look forward to that and the last few Drops of the year. If you haven't submitted yet, this is the time!…

We're halfway through the week— hopefully everyone is having a great Late Start Wednesday! Today's Drop comes from Mr. Roberts, a collection of pictures from his visit to the Filoli Gardens last week. These are some beautiful, high-quality images that we can all enjoy! You can make reservations ahead of time at filoli.org if you are interested in seeing more! Thanks for tuning in to today's spectacular Drop!

Here's the final Dog Drop, sent in by Ms. Bower! Enjoy this last one and we're looking forward to seeing what you all send for the rest of the week.

Hi all! Today's Drop to kick off the week is a slideshow presentation of the photography that Ms. Woods's students have have been creating that speaks to the time that we are living in. Please take some time this morning to look through these creative pieces. On top of that, Ms.Q's students have been creating original musical compositions to accompany these images and we plan on sharing those with the community soon, so stay tuned for that! We're looking forward to seeing what you have for the rest of the week.
