Student Leaders Rise to the Challenge

Our Upper School student leaders are finding new, creative ways to connect with their peers even while learning from home. Even before spring break ended, they were meeting online and coming up with ways to keep our Ram family inspired and connected, from our youngest friends coping with new ways of learning to our seniors struggling with the loss of traditions.

Distance learning kicked off a spirit week, designed to unite the student body from junior kindergarten through 12th grade.

Thank you to our Middle and Lower School friends for sharing photos of their participation in Virtual Spirit Week.

STUCO Co-Heads Meredith Goldberg ’20 and Tanay Chandak ’20 greeted returning students with a video they recorded separately and then collaborated to produce. Their message contained helpful information about student elections and how they’ll be held through unusual channels due to distance learning, and deadlines on how to submit announcements for their once-per-cycle « virtual assembly » announcements.

Upper School administrators have been working with student leaders on a variety of fun, if nontraditional, ways to stay connected and help ease the disappointment that comes from a senior year hijacked by a pandemic. Stay tuned for more information.

Thank you to our student leaders who are once again showing their creativity and drive, this time while traveling down a path that is new to all of us!
