By working with students in developing and working toward natural inclinations or innate curiosities, we know passions will evolve over time.

Our school, driven by its misļ sion of mastery, creativity, responsibility and leadership, recognizes this process as the meaningful purpose at the core of learning. The beginning of the school year is always full of promise and potential, and we are so fortunate to live and learn in a community that provides avenues of exļ ploration, experience, and acceptance to take a chance with something new. Through inquiry and freedom of expression, with a dedicated faculty’s nurturing and understanding, we propel ourselves into the new school year with energy and excitement for what lies ahead. K

Throughout the day, groups discussed their stances on different â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;hot-buttonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; issues and how they individually identify in the world. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We did an exercise called â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;the spectrum,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; where the facilitator would say two words, usually the polar opposites, and you would stand closer to the one you identiďŹ ed most with,â&#x20AC;? explained Jadon Boudreau â&#x20AC;&#x2122;18. He continued, â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was good to see the varying opinions at KUA. It gave me a platform to speak on what I believe in and the conďŹ dence to stand up for those beliefs in a public setting.â&#x20AC;? In addition to Jadi, a panel of Alumni spoke about how their experiences while students at KUA changed their world-view beyond The Hilltop. The panel included Don Lowery â&#x20AC;&#x2122;73, Alda Farlow â&#x20AC;&#x2122;94, Nikki Williams â&#x20AC;&#x2122;02, and current faculty member, Bryant Harris â&#x20AC;&#x2122;04. What ensued was an open conversation about how it felt to attend KUA as a student of color; how the experience prepared each panelist for the future, and a myriad of personal tales about the KUA that each individual experienced as a student.

GLOBAL SCHOLAR While spending a semester at the Island School on the island of Eleuthera in the Bahamas, Maisie MacMillen â&#x20AC;&#x2122;17 developed a passion for combatting ocean pollution. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I participated in beach cleanups and saw ďŹ rst-hand the negative effects that humans have on the environment and all of earthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s inhabitants,â&#x20AC;? she remarks. Maisieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s passion became the launching-pad for her Global Scholar Capstone Project, which resulted in an in-depth analysis of the effects of ocean pollution and a service-oriented plan to help in the cleanup efforts. Maisie became an ambassador for 4Ocean, a non-proďŹ t organization dedicated to removing pollution from the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s oceans. 4Ocean creates and sells 100% recycled bracelets made entirely from material removed from oceans. Each bracelet sold funds the removal of one pound of trash. To date, Maisie has sold 95 bracelets and has joined a network that has removed over 80,000 pounds of trash since 4Ocean launched earlier this year.

Jon Hastings â&#x20AC;&#x2122;01 Describe your transition from working in the private sector to working in education.
Mathematics Teacher BA, Brown University: Mechanical Engineering MBA, Babson College Jon Hastings graduated from Kimball Union in 2001. He was that yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s valedictorian prior to attending Brown University. He began a career in engineering and earned an MBA from Babson Collegeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Olin Graduate School of Business before transitioning into teaching at his alma mater. Jon coaches Alpine skiing and serves as the coach/ coordinator for the fall STEM activity. Jon, his wife Sarah, a doctor at Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center, and daughter, Nora, live nearby Lebanon, NH.

Bob would see if Hebert would be willing to attend my class. And thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s how it all started. While I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a budget for visiting authors, and there wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a real program in place, we were able to come up with enough funds to be able to invite both Bob Olmstead and Ernie Hebert.

At that point she takes the care and time necessary to clean up the mess and craft the words into what she wants. All the writers have agreed that the revision process of writing is crucial but also enjoyable. They insist that while it is hard work, it is rewarding and satisfying. This piece of information is often hard for my students to hear. At a time in their lives when they are cranking out papers as quickly as possible so they can have a little more time with friends, this sounds outrageous. And the fact that the

terms, this is what learning looks like in the brain: better worn pathways and pathways that crisscross each other more. However, at this stage, getting to the destination of the pathway does not automatically improve learning in and of itself.

KIMBALL UNION ACADEMY 64 MAIN ST MERIDEN, NH 03770
SOUTH AFRICAN TRIP After the Global Alliance for Innovative Learning (GAIL) conference at Prestige College in Pretoria, South Africa, the KUA delegation explored Kruger National Park, the largest game park in Africa. There, they saw elephants, giraffes, impala, zebras, crocodiles, and even elusive rhinos. Kimball Union hosts the annual conference in 2018, and is looking forward to welcoming schools from India, Scotland, South Africa, Australia, New Zealand, and China to Meriden.
