Congrats to Speyer’s Morgan Book Project Winners!
We are thrilled to announce that six Speyer students have been recognized in this year’s Morgan Book Project Awards! You may remember that Speyer seventh graders embark on the Morgan Book Project as part of an interdisciplinary Art and Humanities unit throughout much of the school year. The students visit The Morgan twice to learn the intricate process of medieval bookmaking while they also study the geopolitical and religious forces in western Europe at the time. They then create medieval books of their own to submit to The Morgan Library's annual awards show.
Six Speyer seventh graders had their handcrafted books selected to be among the 82 books exhibited in a one-night-only installation at the Morgan Library and Museum! Congrats to Speyer seventh graders Asher T., Arianna R., Livia B., Sophie R., Francesca G., and Fiona V.! It should be noted that this is a citywide program mainly for NYC public schools, and Speyer was the only independent school invited to participate!
And we have to give a special congratulations to Arianna and Sophie, whose books (The Rabbit on the Moon and Journey of Chess, respectively) were chosen to be part of the official Morgan Book Project exhibition. This is a remarkable artistic achievement! The exhibition will be on view at The Morgan Library and Museum this summer from June 3-August 24! We hope you will visit and celebrate the creativity and hard work of these talented students. Huge applause to all who participated! GO DRAGONS!
