Barrie School/ Kevin Reese Jumping!

Beatrice and Polly are jumping for art with their Modern Art History teacher, Jayme, on Barrie School's campus in Silver Spring, Maryland.

This photo was taken shortly after a class field trip to the Phillips Collection in DC where photography was unfortunately prohibited. Thanks for sending!
