Students in the upper and middle school meet regularly for assemblies with a specific theme. This month, the upper school assembly focused on Immigration & Citizenship. Various students and teachers discussed family experiences with immigration and thoughts about what it meant to be an American citizen. Junior Jay Antoine spoke candidly about her family’s experiences with international adoption, and seniors Louis McDonough and Brian Benitez did a joint presentation in Spanish and English called, America, I Do Not Call Your Name In Vain. Throughout the year, these assemblies serve as a chance to unite our school around shared values and foster public speaking skills and respect for peers by asking students and teachers to honor each other’s achievements.
