Dr. Grauer's Column - Teen Crisis High Up On Mont Blanc

Our strongest memories of school often aren’t about tests or class lessons—they're about the moments and encounters that shaped us: a teacher who saw something in us before we did, or the unspoken codes of status and survival. What do you remember?

On a trip to the grocery store, Dr. Grauer spotted a small fitness studio named The Exercise Coach. Their pitch: "20-minute strength workouts, twice a week." When he tried out a lesson, the last thing he expected was to be re-taught his own educational philosophy.

After completing a unit on food vocabulary, Spanish students had the opportunity to experience authentic Peruvian cuisine. For many students, this was a culinary adventure, as they sampled these dishes for the first time, broadening their appreciation of Peruvian flavors and culture.

Grauer Seniors acted as assistants for a day to other students or Grauer faculty members who hired their services in the "Hire A Senior" fundraiser. Some Seniors assisted with classes or other tasks, some brought food to campus for the person they were assisting, and everyone had a lot of fun!

The Grauer School held their annual Middle School Geography Bee, and the eight finalists all did an incredible job of putting their geography skills to the test and impressing us all.

Congratulations to Cailin H. '30 for representing The Grauer School at the San Diego County Scripps Regional Spelling Bee on March 6. We were so proud to have Cailin represent our school!
