Lamp 2012 Yearbook by The Agnes Irwin School

2012 LAMP

It is hard to believe that it is already 2012, the year of our graduation, and that it is time to present the Lamp to the Agnes Irwin community. The theme of the 2012 Lamp is “Together ‘til the End,” which is signified by the firework artwork throughout the book. The fireworks are a play off of the Mayan prophecy that the world will end in 2012. However, this is more than just a nod to an ancient superstition. We chose this theme because our grade has grown into mature, confident and intelligent young women. Many of us have been together since Kindergarten. In fact our grade has the most Super Survivors in Agnes Irwin’s recent history, at a count of 29, exactly half of our grade. It does not matter if we came in Kindergarten, 6th grade, or even 9th grade, The Class of 2012 has been like a second family to all of us. Whether it was dancing around the May Pole in Lower School, dressing up as medieval folk in Middle School, or cozying up with each other in the lounge eating cupcakes, watching Laguna Beach, we’ll always have these memories. And even though, when we graduate, we’ll move onto the next phase of our lives, we’ll still have the memories that we created and shared together. These memories will tie us together forever. So even if the world does end in 2012, we’ll be able to look back on our time at Irwin's and smile and say we made it, “Together ‘til the End.”

Ms. Connie McEvoy In September, the Class of 2012 started our final year at Agnes Irwin. Like many seniors before us we entered the overwhelming undertaking of applying to college. Some ready to face senior year, others not so much, we all began the journey that would lead us down the path to the rest of our lives. The college process is a daunting one. It takes focus, determination, organization, and a lot of drive to push oneself through standardized tests, applications, scholarships, and financial aid. It is impossible to know everything that goes into applying to college until you enter your senior year and experienced it for yourself. Alone, this challenge is more than any one student can comprehend, but with the help of this woman the college process becomes manageable. With over 20 years of experience, this woman has helped hundreds of students move on from high school. She touches the lives of every student that passes through Agnes Irwin with a nationally recognized college counseling process that she designed herself. Taking what you love and turning it into an essay worthy of a college acceptance is easier said than done, but with her help, everything sent to colleges is more than ready to be reviewed. Every little detail of a studentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s application is perfected, from teacher recommendations, to personal essays, to the recommendations that she writes herself. She is every seniorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s greatest advocate, shoulder to cry on, deadline enforcer, and biggest fan and without her we would all be a little more then lost. For these reasons and many more, the Class of 2012 is honored to dedicate our yearbook to Ms. Connie McEvoy, a teacher, a supporter, a friend, and a mother. Thank you for all that you have done for our entire grade and for the School. We love you!

Agnes Irwin School

Dr. Edward Sacks Every Agnes Irwin student is provided with the opportunity to explore her passion in the languages, both modern and classical, throughout her years in the Middle and Upper Schools. The Classical languages of Latin and Greek, especially, have been pursued by a large number of girls in the Class of 2012. The desire for learning these languages would not be made possible, however, without the dedication of one amazing teacher. Over the past sixteen years, he has truly shaped the Classics Department into the great learning environment it is today. With a can of Dr. Pepper at hand, he is always very excited to share his knowledge about the Latin and Greek languages with his students. He is extremely dedicated to the wellbeing of every one of his students and is always pushing everyone to do their best. His positive attitude and caring nature make him more than just a teacher, but also a friend. For these reasons and many more, the Class of 2012 would like to appreciate and thank Dr. Edward Sacks.

agnes irwin administration To The Class of 2012, The theme you have chosen, Together to the End, is so fitting. As a class, you have more super survivors than in any recent years. However, you have also demonstrated your commitment to your entire grade as you welcomed new members throughout your journey to end up, 58 strong, as the remarkable class of 2012. We often hear that the important part of any trip is not arriving at the final destination, but rather the journey along the way. You have grown and changed as you travelled together. From young girls to young adults you have learned how to live up to your potential, become conscientious stewards of our environment, exhibited a spirit of cooperation and collaboration and have been a friend to many, especially each other.

I hope that Together to the End will stay with you as you go your separate ways and embark upon new adventures. The memories made, together, at The Agnes Irwin School will be woven into the fabric of your future and you will be able to draw upon them and be fortified by them for all of your days.

MESSAGE FROM Ms. Rudnicki

Use the skills you honed in your English classes to evaluate what you read and hear, to form your own opinions, and to express your ideas. Find time to read for pleasure and to appreciate the beauty of language. The English Department wishes you all the best as you embark on your next adventure. You are well prepared for success!

English Through the vast array of authors students at Agnes Irwin read, the students are skilled and introduced to all different literary works. The students interact in the class through class discussion and immerse themselves in the stories through the characters and themes of the books. In Middle School the students read vignettes, poetry, Shakespeare and the memorable Jane Eyre. They also improve upon their grammar skills and write journal entries and poetry to share with their classmates.

Agnes Irwin School

The students also improve their essay writing and learn how to write structured and organized analytical papers, which helps them prepare for Upper School. The students gain the knowledge to stretch their minds and think beyond the text as they analyze and interpret the text. The courses offered at Agnes Irwin offer the students the ability to challenge themselves through the various choices such as Craft of Writing. From American literature to Shakespeare the students at Agnes Irwin experience a diverse group of books that open their minds. The writing talents that the students gain allow them to be imaginative and acute thinkers beyond just their English classes.

MESSAGE FROM Mr. Frank

“Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.” – George Santayana “History is not simply something that was. History is with us and in us.” – Yuri Trifonov “The past is never dead. It’s not even past.” – William Faulkner What a great group of historians you are! Please come back and visit a history class anytime, and “let history repeat itself”! Best wishes from each of us in the AIS History Department.

The history experiences offered in Middle School are ones that the students carry with them long after they leave Agnes Irwin. From the traditions of Medieval Night in Sixth grade, Art in the Dark in seventh and the concluding of eighth grade with the Civil Rights Paper, students are given the skills and opportunities to help them as they move on to Upper School. In High School the history curriculum begins with an informative World History course Freshman year where they learn about religions and cultures from all over the world, as well as how we as a world interact with one another. Sophomore year the students take Modern European History where they learn about strong leaders and time periods and end the year with an unforgettable field trip to the Holocaust Museum in Washington DC. Juniors

History learn History of the United States, learning about how our nation came to be all the way to the present with the current president of the United States, as well as the most recent historical events. Seniors have a diverse choice of courses to take, from International Relations, History of American Film, AP European History and the Middle East. The teachers desire to immerse their students in history is present in the way they teach their students with such excitement and joy. Through this the students at Agnes Irwin share a love for history, as well as their teachers.

MESSAGE FROM Ms. Brown

“One of the endlessly alluring aspects of mathematics is that its thorniest paradoxes have a way of blooming into beautiful theories.” ~Philip J. Davis We’ve watched each of you bloom into beautiful young women as we’ve helped you study and master the thorny paradoxes of mathematics. We wish you cascading bouquets of success as you continue to understand the world and create meaning for yourselves. We know that you will become the leaders that our global society needs. Congratulations and best wishes for the future!

Math From algebra, geometry, calculus, statistics and applied math, the students at Agnes Irwin are challenged in many different ways mathematically. In lower school students learn long division and their multiplication tables. Then in middle school, starting in fifth grade, students are broken up into different levels of math where they learn pre-algebra, alge-

Agnes Irwin School

bra and geometry. The drive the teachers have to instill a love of math and understanding causes them to be able to instill this knowledge in their students as well. Through the various opportunities offered, the students are asked to expand their knowledge outside of the classroom and are taught to apply what they learn to everyday life. Students interact in the classroom through completing problems on the board and asking intelligent questions. The students are left with a respect for math that will carry into life beyond Agnes Irwin.

MESSAGE FROM Dr. Katz

We in the Science Department are very proud of you upon your graduation. We have loved watching you grow from young girls into mature women with a passion for learning and for life. It has been immensely rewarding to have taught you science since kindergarten and watched your development over the years. We hope you continue to make science a part of your education for years to come. The world of science needs bright women like you! We wish you a curiosity of wonder that never ceases. Please come back to visit us often as we will miss the Class of 2012! Best of luck!

The scientific opportunities at Agnes Irwin allow the students to apply their knowledge in the world. In lower school, students interact through hands on activities and learning about animals and their environment and how they can take care and respect it. In middle school students continue to learn about the environment and different specimens and participate in labs and various projects. In Upper School the science curriculum begins with Physics in freshman year where they learn about laws of matter, energy, force and motion. They then continue on to Chemistry sophomore year, learning about

Science elements and compounds. Biology in junior year offers the knowledge of the basic structure of animals and plant cells. Students interact in the classroom through projects, such as the memorable “Physics of…” project in freshman year, as well as lab work and dissections. Every student is able to foster her own inner scientist through life sciences such as Bioethics and Environmental Science.

French Agnes Irwin students first begin to be immersed in the French language in kindergarten. In Middle School the students learn about the grammar and vocabulary of the language through the help of music and learning about the culture. Students also immerse themselves in the language by tasting traditional French foods, as well as watching movies such as La Boume. In Upper School students use the knowledge they gained in Middle School to read French literature such as Au Revoir Les Enfants, Carmen, and Candide. The students have an interactive experience in the classroom with class discussions about French issues and watching the French news, as well

Agnes Irwin School

as developing good writing abilities in the French language. The special studies program in sophomore and junior year offers the students the opportunity to use their knowledge in the French language to travel to France on a home stay and converse with their host families.

Students at Agnes Irwin begin the Spanish language experience starting in kindergarten all the way to fourth grade. As the students enter Middle School they have the opportunity to choose to continue on with Spanish, which many students chose to do. In Middle School the Spanish language is more delved into as students learn grammar and vocabulary, as well as listen to Spanish music and tasting various Spanish dishes. The students also immerse themselves in the language by celebrating the various Spanish holidays and learning about Spanish traditions. In Upper School the students are able to have conversations and speak complete

Spanish sentences. Students continue their education through reading Spanish literature and having more in depth and interactive class discussions. A main part of the Spanish curriculum is watching a Spanish Soap Opera, as well as Spanish news, to further their knowledge of the language and culture. Agnes Irwin students are proud to be able to be fluent in the Spanish language and be exposed to the Spanish customs.

MESSAGE FROM Dr. Sacks Dear Senior Latin and Greek students, I’ve had the great good fortune of teaching all of you since 10th grade. There are so many Latin and Greek mottos that call for inclusion in a yearbook -- such as: “Tu ne cede malis, sed contra audentior ito/ qua tua te fortuna sinet” (“don’t yield to misfortune, but, instead, go more boldly, where your fortune will allow you” -- Vergil); or dux femina facti (a woman was leader of the deed – Vergil); or “forsan et haec olim meminisse iuvabit” (“perhaps it will be pleasant to remember even these things some time” -- Vergil); or “aien aristeuein kai hypeirechon emmenai allon” (“always be the best and be distinguished beyond all others” -- Homer) But none of these does justice to your class -- you’ve loved Latin (and Greek) from day one and through thick and thin; you’ve scaled the heights of classical literature while also managing your way through some difficult brambles of poems along the way. You’ve put your hearts and souls into understanding every bit of these classical texts and interpreting them in new and creative ways. Always keep your love of learning and your belief in the transcendent community you can build through your idealism about the past and the future. All of us in the Classics department will remember your class and each of you for a very long time.

Classics The students begin to be exposed to the Latin language in seventh and eighth grade where they learn about grammar, mythology and vocabulary. They learn about the different gods and do projects on them. They also translate complete passages that helps them apply the grammar

Agnes Irwin School

and vocabulary they have learned. In high school the students have the choice to continue with Latin or begin taking Greek. By high school the students have gained a tremendous understanding and are able to translate complete paragraphs from classical writings. The students are able to analyze the classical writings and discover the various themes. Students interact through lively class discussions, allowing them to truly grasp the language and history.

MESSAGE FROM Mr. Esher

Congratulations to the class that brought the “Technicolor” to “Joseph’s Coat” during your 8th grade year. Kudos to the first class to be able to apply what they learned in 7th grade Public Speaking to their Senior Assemblies and truly finding the spotlight. You are creative, bold, inspired and inspiring. It is now your opportunity to take center stage, sing your song and paint the world the way you’d like to see it be. All the best!

Agnes Irwin Students do not only interact and discover through the classroom, they also gain creativity and knowledge through the snap of a camera, the stroke of a paintbrush or acting on the stage. In middle school the students take art classes as well as have quarterlies, which are broken up into art classes such as music and drama. The artistic opportunities at Agnes Irwin are endless, and there is something for everyone to express her inner artist. Students also participate in the arts through the Bel Cantos, Dance Motion and the plays and musicals. Students learn about textures, light and shadows and oth-

Fine Arts er art techniques to improve upon their art work in Photography, Media arts and Studio arts. The students immerse themselves in the art through projects and field trips such as the Media Arts and Photography field trip to New York City and SSP programs. Through these opportunities the students gain a broad education and learn how to express themselves through different mediums.

MESSAGE FROM Mrs. Kane

Physical Education begins in Pre-Kindergarten and extends through an Agnes Irwin girl’s final year. We in the PE and Wellness department are dedicated to the personal growth of each student’s overall wellbeing. We have emphasized and promoted a healthy lifestyle and encouraged life-long wellness through the development of each girl’s personal health, talents, interests, self-confidence and relationship with others. Although PE class, may have brought about a game you just didn’t like or your fitness teacher made you participate in an activity that wasn’t “fun” our hope is we have challenged you to step out of the box and always remain “physically fit” in mind, body and spirit. As you all begin this new journey in your life we wish you all the best and remember that Agnes Irwin is a better place because you were here. Congratulations on your graduation and wishing you the best always.xoxo

Fitness At Agnes Irwin we believe in teaching the students to live healthy lives through eating healthy and physical education. Students who do not wish to participate in a team sport in Upper and Middle School have the option of Fitness Class where students do cardio, strength work and obstacle courses. Students also have the option to participate in fitness classes where the students enjoy exercise activities such as zumba and yoga. Fifth and sixth graders are introduced to all different sports so they can choose

Agnes Irwin School

which ones they enjoy the most and hope to continue to play in seventh and eighth grade and on into high school. Middle school gym classes also consist of preparing for the presidential fitness examination. Fitness is also taught in the classroom in Wellness classes in Middle School and Transitions classes in Upper School. The students learn how to have a healthy lifestyle and to stay active. They learn about maintaining a good diet, participating in daily exercise, first aid, self-defense and worldwide health concerns. Students are taught this through class discussions and interactive PowerPoint presentations and resources, as well as activities such as role-playing and small group discussions.

MESSAGE FROM Ms. Webb and Ms. Diana Dearest class of 2012, We, your librarians, wanted to tell you a few things. First, college libraries are a different sort of beast than your friendly AIS library. They will have multiple floors of books and materials, banks of computers that you will have limited amounts of time to use, and printers that will most likely have print limits on them. Next, if you have a question about your college library, ASK! A ten-minute orientation as a freshman will save you loads of time and energy later on. Use your college library website for all of your projects. The librarians have collected the best resources in each discipline there, and will most likely be available to help you by chat if you don’t want to trek over to the library. Also, college libraries will, in fact, charge fees if you return books late. Don’t do it! Finally – do not take everything that you hear in college at face value. Remember that you are information literate, and that means you have a responsibility to challenge the ideas that you are being taught – that is what higher education is really all about. College is about learning to think on your own. Just make sure that you read a good book or two along the way!

Students at Agnes Irwin begin learning about technology starting in Lower School where they have computer classes and do Mavis Beacon. They continue to learn in Middle School where students take a weekly class called Computer Connections. In Computer Connections, students are introduced to Word, Power Point and Excel. The librarians at Agnes Irwin are always there to provide helpful knowledge with technology, as well finding resources in the library. This all culminates with students being

Technology independent and having the technology techniques to be good researchers through researching techniques and knowing what resources are trustworthy. It is important that the students know these skills in order to apply them to life and in the future, since our world today relies so much on the Internet and technology.

AIS/EA Day has evolved into a terrific display of community involvement, school spirit, and comraderie amongst the entire school. The rapport between the Lower, Middle and Upper School students is a wonderful display of the unbelievable level of school pride that is contagious leading up to the games. Our goal for each event is to bring the banner home to AIS, and we have made terrific strides in our attempt to accomplish that feat. -Sarah Frick (â&#x20AC;&#x2122;12) 116

Dear Camille (Dedaboo, Mina, Nina, Beans) What am I going to do without my Nina Mina? You have always been such a delight to me. I love your incredible, ridiculous sense of humor (probably because it’s similar to mine!) and sweet, loving disposition. It has been such a privilege to be a part of your life. I’m so proud of you, and can’t wait to hear about your wonderful adventures in this next chapter of your life. Love you bunches! Mom Camille, I am so proud of you and will miss you so much next year. You are about to enter a new stage of life - one that will introduce you to new life-long friends, independence and wonderful educational opportunities that will help guide your future. I hope you enjoy every minute of your college experience. Let’s hope Elon has a halfway decent football team! Love, Dad

Wherever you go, go with all your heart. ~Confucius

Congratulations to the Class of 2012! Mrs. Weeks, Ms. Mayer, Ms. Page

Our Dearest Briana You are very special to us ever since the day you entered our lives, you are unique in many ways and we are always proud of you and your accomplishment. Although we know it will happen one day, we are dreading the days that you will leave us after high school to college, we will miss you terribly. We also know that you have the good judgment and well prepared for the next milestone. Just remember that we love you dearly. Mama and Daddy Dear Bri, It seems like just yesterday that I was reading your message to me in my yearbook; now it’s your turn to look at the notes from the people who love you most. Regardless of what you end up doing, where you go, or what you think, you will always be my little sister and one of the people I admire the most. I love you lots. -Frances Dear Briana, I’m so happy that you finished high school! I wish you luck on everything you do in the future. But I don’t think you’ll need it. You are already talented, special, kind, and smart enough. So celebrate it! Love, Robbie

Kate, We are so proud and excited to watch you step from school to college and adulthood. Just like all the other steps you’ve taken in your life - through the toddler years, the teen years - you’ll do the adult years so well, so wonderfully… because you’re an amazing young woman. We’ll be here for you always. Love Mum and Dad xx

Kate, Not only are you the best big sister, or little spoon, but also my best friend! There is no one else that I trust with all my thoughts or anyone else who could give better advice ... I come to you with everything and I will continue to do so when you leave for college (YIKES). Maybe I can be that annoying little sister who you had to look after or was seen wearing the same outfit, only in a different color, but who else would make you laugh, endlessly quote movies, or share your tears. In a nutshell, I’m going to miss you so much and I can’t believe this day has come! I wish you all the best and I love you tons! Love, Emma xx

I’m going to miss our cuddles Honey xx

Viv, You have been an extraordinary joy to all of us. We know your life ahead will be rich and fulfilling because you will approach it with the wonderful balance you have of intelligence and humor, of curiosity and compassion, of drive and humility, of values and wisdom beyond your years. Be brave. Be yourself. Keep laughing. We are so proud of you!!! Love, Mom and Dad

Viv, As the oldest sister, I have had the privilege of watching you grow up. In the past few years, you have transformed from a smiling little girl into a confident, thoughtful and intelligent young woman. Above all, your loyalty and kindness to others truly amazes me. I am eagerly anticipating the opportunity to witness the next stage of life –you are certain to take on the world by storm! Lots of love, Colby

Vivi, Ever since we were little you’ve been one of my closest friends…and not just because you were the only person nice enough to sit and watch me play single-player video games for hours at a time. You have always been a thoughtful kid, but in the last few years, you have truly blossomed into a smart, hilarious and mature young woman. Your energy, humor and enthusiasm never fail to lift me up, and your selflessness and kindness are an inspiration to everyone you know. I’m four years older, but I look up to you as a role model and as a friend. I cannot wait to see what college has in store for you and to see you thrive in whatever you set your mind to. I wish you all the best in the years to come and can’t wait to share them with you. Love, Your big sis, Ellie

Kenz, even though you are annoying and mean (just kidding!) I loved bonding time with you this year - our car rides to school listening to the Impossible Questions and having you attack me in the hallways - and I’ll miss you so so so much next year! Love you! - Connie Kenzie, I can’t believe that you are already graduating! You have done so many amazing things at Agnes Irwin, and I cannot wait to see what your next years have in store for you! You are beautiful, talented, intelligent, and just all around amazing. I love you so much and I am so proud of you! Love, Andi To Kenzie, my baby, my “gift”. I cannot believe that you are graduating from Agnes Irwin; the time has flown by all too quickly. I remember: waking you up last in the morning because you always woke up with a smile, our tradition of giving 100 kisses good night, when we played the spot the license plate game on our big trip before you were in kindergarten and you cried because you couldn’t read yet. Now here you are on the precipice of starting the rest of your life. The world is your oyster and you will show them what a wonderful, poised, articulate, caring, beautiful young woman you are. It’s now time to share my gift with the world. I love you. Mom KENZIE!! Wooo! Congratulations wittle kookoo!! So proud of you!!! Love, Melly Kenzie, our first hug is still a memory I cherish forever. You have given me unconditional love from day one, which is beyond description and our shared gift to one another. It has been both a privilege and a pleasure to root for you from the sidelines and support your academic efforts. You are so talented in the classroom it blows me away, but your selfless leadership skills are what truly make you so special. As you commence on the next chapter of your life, I am confident you will find the college experience everything you dreamed and more. I love you very much, CT. Kenz, you are such an amazing young woman. I cannot wait to watch you thrive in college and continue on your journey. I know you are going to do great things! Even though I don’t always show it - I am so unbelievably proud of you and grateful to call you my sister. Thank you for being the best little sister a girl could ask for! I love you bundles, Sam Kenzie, you are like a sister to me and I’m so proud of you! We’re both getting so old but no matter what you’ll always be my little puppy that has to sit on the floor of my front seat. I love you! -Gina

As you leave this stage of your lives for the next, there will be even more opportunities for you to make your contribution. You will have greater choices available to you. Make those choices wisely, be compassionate, be honest, be strong, give back remember you are because we are. Know that we are proud of you, are happy for you and wish only the best for you.

It seems like just yesterday you walked into the kindergarten classroom wearing your tunic and those sneakers that needed to be tied. Congratulations on all these years of not only your hard work but also on all the fun and special times you have shared with your friends and mentors. We are so proud of you and so admire your drive, compassion, and integrity. You have a focus and persistence that is humbling and have accomplished so much in your time at AIS. We wish you all the best moving forward and know that you will bring your own special passion, energy, and determination to whatever you do. We love you more than you know, Mom and Dad

Dearest Sara, Congratulations on your graduation from AIS! It seems like just yesterday we dropped you off at the lower school in your blue jumper and yellow shirt. We are so proud of you and stand in awe of your energy, capacity for hard work, enthusiasm, spirit, and independence. You have made so much that is positive happen for yourself and those around you in these 13 years. It has been truly remarkable to watch you become a young woman of such integrity, focus, and compassion. We wish the very best for you going forward and know that you will always be courageous and thoughtful and be guided by your own special values in all that you do. We love you more than you know, Mom and Dad

Kate, Remember “The Princess Who Wanted to Fly” and winning the short story contest? Well, you sure made time fly. As I look back on some of the individual moments that come to mind – oh, let’s just say pouring a bowl of cereal over your head, or crashing your tricycle like Evel Knievel, or, in later years, practicing parallel parking in our makeshift course in the pasture, losing your lunch on the track to knock off a couple hundredths of a second, visiting France and Greece . . . you get the idea – it’s difficult to believe that all of that has been going on for eighteen years, and now here you are, ready to go off into the world. You are now a poised, elegant and remarkably beautiful young woman, but I’ll always smile when I remember you as a little, round-faced angel. And now that you graduate, you should be forever proud of how you have cherished every moment and seized every opportunity, especially these last four years at AIS. Mom and I have always been impressed with how hard you work at everything -- not just school work, but sports – first field hockey and then volleyball and track – writing, and on and on, in every endeavor. All of those efforts, all of that energy, the mostly wonderful memories (and some tough ones I’m sure), all the wonderful friends you have – you’ll cherish them more and more as the years go on. You’ll call on them and they will give you courage and confidence as you move on to new challenges in the years ahead. So always keep that intensity, that love of life. There are so many more challenges to face, books to read, sports to play, films to discover, places in the world to visit, people to meet. But first take just a little time to appreciate how much you’ve accomplished over the past four years, and your first eighteen. You’re getting your wish -- enjoy the flight!! Love forever, Dad. KateFrom the time I first held you in my arms, a smiling, little bundle of energy, to your toddler days when I chased after a bouncy, laughing, curly topped little pumpkin – “Katie-Pie”- who loved hugs and ponies and turning lace night gowns into ball gowns and dressing up in my high heels and evening bags to go to the make believe ball with your sister, to your early teens when school and sports started to play a dominant role in your young life and I got to watch your many successes in the classroom and on the field, track and court, to the present when I enjoy living with a polished, elegant and articulate young woman who loves to travel and continues with her many successes both in academics and athletics and now who dresses up in real ball gowns to go to real balls; your joie de vivre and your enthusiasm for learning new things and exploring new ideas is infectious and wonderful to observe! I am so proud of you for your many accomplishments and look forward to sharing in your future fun and success! I love you always! Mom Kate: Can’t believe you are all grown up now!! I hope you have so much fun in college and I can’t wait to visit you. Maybe we can bring Pie on some playdates to visit you because he will need to find a new secret spot. He won’t know what to do with himself he will be so happy to go on an adventure!!! You’re the best sister ever and I love you and am so excited for you to start college!! Love, Lex KateHope you have a great time at college. It’s too bad that I won’t have either of my sisters home to drive me everywhere!!!!!!! Be safe have fun and do well! Love, John

Thank you Ms. Weeks!

You have truly been a great asset to our community over the past four years. The senior class has felt especially close to you because we all entered the Upper School at the same time. A few of us were lucky enough to get to know you very well in advisory freshman year and others sophomore year in your English class. You have always been dedicated to student wellbeing, making sure that everyone is healthy and happy. We all love your presence at our school events, such as the plays and open mic nights. You have been a great champion of moving our schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s curriculum into the 21st century. We are going to miss you very much next year, especially your cookies. We all wish you luck in your future adventures. Thank you so much for everything you have done for our school and for us. 2012 Lamp
