For eighth grade students, the second quarter focuses on a real-world challenge that unifies their English, history, and science lessons. First, their teachers posed big questions: What is our mission as a species? What is your quest? What endures about cultures over time? How does humanity endure? 

We are looking forward to celebrating all our Grandfriends on March 10!

Fourth grade students recently completed a poetry unit in which they enjoyed reading and analyzing a variety of poems. Students worked on syllabication, parts of speech, and carefully selecting words to paint vivid mental pictures with their poems. The fourth graders wrote nature poems (while sitting outside), haiku, cinquain (an American poetry form), and diamante poems. Finally, they published their works using their cursive handwriting skills!

Drum roll, please… below is the cast of Willy Wonka Kids! Everyone did an awesome job with their auditions. This is the biggest cast the Lower School has ever seen! Please join us in congratulating all our talented students. 

The online scheduler opens on Sunday, February 6. Stay tuned for more details!

Aden Meisel '23 had a hat trick — including what turned out to be the winning goal in the second overtime — to lead Laguna Blanca to a 4-3 Frontier League win over visiting Villanova on Tuesday, 1/25.

Villanova scored first, “directly off the opening whistle,” Laguna coach Kevin Shertzer said, bringing the ball down the side and scoring off a low cross.

“They caught us still in our warmup, but we responded well and took control of the game,” Shertzer said.

At the 20 minute mark, Meisel scored on a long kick from Owls goalkeeper Henry Otte '22. Ten minutes later, Meisel scored his second goal on an assist from Josh Hansen '24, for a 2-1 Laguna halftime lead.

Villanova scored the equalizer in the 25th minute of the second half after Otte parried two short-range shots before the third found the net.

The 2-2 tie carried into a second overtime when the Owls’ Mason Berg '24 quickly scored on a long-distance shot and Meisel completed his hat trick for a 4-2 lead.

The following sports will begin practice on Monday, February 7 unless otherwise communicated specifically to any team:

Consider using the summer to make yourself a more interesting applicant by going beyond the usual metrics of GPA and common activities. Explore a course in something not offered at your school (e.g. neuroscience, comparative literature, Middle Eastern history). The goal is to develop and display genuine intellectual curiosity, and a summer program can help with that.
