Twelve Upper School students have been selected to join an impressive roster of past student ambassadors as Peer Leaders for the 2023-2024 academic year.
May marks Mental Health Awareness Month and the Grade 11 Student Government hosted an activity day during assembly time to help Upper School students alleviate stress, pause for a moment of self-care, and take a well-deserved break from academics.
Head of School Bob Izzo has announced that seniors Charles “Charlie” Wortman and Kamini Purushothaman have been chosen as the Class of 2023 Valedictorian and Salutatorian, respectively.
The art of storytelling through poetry and spoken-word evokes emotions allowing listeners to become part of the story. Standing on the stage of the Taylor Performing Arts Center with nothing but a microphone and a notebook, spoken-word poet Sarah Kay performed excerpts from her book, No Matter the Wreckage, for Upper School students and faculty as part of the Visiting Writers Series, a program supported by the Betty Lou Blumberg Endowed Chair of English. Mrs. Blumberg was also on hand in the audience and met Sarah at the conclusion of the assembly.
