The upper school started the second quarter with an assembly focused on the theme of “Growth.” The gathering featured music by senior Jonah Spiva, junior Liam Burgon, and freshman Wyatt Mitchell, who performed “All the Things You Are.” Students watched the Zoom assembly during Advisory Lunch on Wednesday. The faculty speaker was science teacher and wrestling coach Mr. Torrence, who reflected on growth in science, nature, and students. The student speaker was senior Emely Ventura-Alvarenga. Seniors Aoife Butler and Sophia Zinn shared their work on the Latin Beautification Club, and Ms. Brady and Mr. Kelly spoke as well. The assembly was a chance for students to look back on their first quarter achievements and reflect on how they have grown as learners, friends, and citizens at our school.
