Congratulations to 11 students who have been named National Merit Semifinalists: Nicole Barresi, Adam Buford, Grace Cawdrey, Alayna Choo, Carl Compton, Lindsay Finn, Pearce Kieser, Ben King, Joanne Li, Mitchell Polonsky, and Andrew Wilson. The National Merit Scholarship Program recognizes students who are among the highest scorers in the Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test (PSAT/ NMSQT). In order to be considered for a National Merit® Scholarship, Semifinalists must advance to Finalist standing in the competition by meeting high academic standards, as well as a number of additional academic requirements.
National Achievement Scholarship Program Seven Hills senior Adam Buford, also a National Merit Semifinalist, was named a Semifinalist in the National Achievement Scholarship competition. Adam is one of 1,600 African-American student applicants – about 1 percent of whom have been designated Semifinalists in the National Achievement Scholarship Program. Eleven Seven Hills seniors were named Commended Students in the 2015 National Merit Program: Grace Carroll, Avery Coombe, Arjun Dheenan, Duncan Gibson,
Christopher Janidlo, Alexander Li, Ellen Lu, Ellen Pasquale, Christopher Shoemaker, Judy Sun, and Sean Yoshitomo-Gray. To be considered for a Merit Scholarship award, Semifinalists must fulfill several requirements to advance to the Finalist level of the competition. Semifinalists are the highest-scoring program entrants in each state and represent the top one percent of the state’s senior students. Students qualify for recognition in the National Merit programs with their scores on the PSAT/NMSQT. This year, 177 students participated locally in the Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology math competition in early November. Individual results were as follows (places given by grade and gender): Ninth grade girls 3rd place – Mary Grace Ramsay 6th place – Yuou Wang Ninth grade boys 8th place – Michael Barresi 10th place – Curtis Sun

CREATING CONVERSATIONS SPEAKER SERIES
In a thoughtful, gritty September message, renowned child psychologist and New York Times bestseller Dr. Michael Thompson encouraged parents and educators to rethink the way they view the role of their children’s school. Thompson’s personable presentation brought the audience to tears, laughter, and everything in between as he demystified parents’ fears and assumptions about the role of formal education in their children’s lives. In addition to encouraging parents to look at school more realistically, Thompson shared several provocative statements, asking parents to embrace their child’s Creating Conversations current academic, social, and athletic health. “School is not about preparation for life,” said Thompson. “Children are living their lives right now.” A favorite among the Seven Hills community, James Lingo of Freedom from Chemical Dependency (FCD) presented a special workshop to ninth graders and their parents in November. Lingo’s presentations focused on the vital role communication plays in families with children, teens and young adults, especially. Freedom from Chemical Dependency has worked in partnership with Seven Hills for more than 30 years. For more information visit : www.7hills.org/CreatingConversations

Examples of learning through inquiry, hands-on discovery, technology, collaboration The fifth grade began holding Socratic Seminars in late November. The 45-minute discussions actively engaged students in close reading and critical thinking of complex texts. The students sat in a circle/oval and directly addressed each other respectfully. Students practiced active listening as they learned to engage in dialogue, rather than debate, and to think deeply on teacher-created essential questions. Pre-kindergarteners in Katie Dawson, Ginger Rubin and Cyndi Kenyon’s classes enjoyed a lesson on animals during a November visit with Cool Critters Outreach, a local non-profit animal rescue and education organization. The science focus offered students an opportunity to study natural science and demonstrate respect and care for living things and the environment.

The kids are exposed to a number of tools/skills and will eventually learn to play some simple melodies using the instruments they designed and crafted out of vegetables.” In late October, the Upper School hosted two guest speakers, State Representatives Peter Stautberg (R) and Denise Driehaus (D), who debated the issue of hydraulic fracking. “Students in the journalism course moderated the debate and asked the representatives questions that had been generated by the student body in advance of the visit,” said

As part of the Middle School Innovation Lab, run by Science Department Chair Karen Glum, local retired engineers and the founders of May We Help presented their mission and work to the Middle School in late November. May We Help invents adaptive devices that help people accomplish things they want to do but have never had the opportunity to achieve, due to their disabilities. Third graders in November completed a collaborative project on Pacific Northwest Coast Native American tribes, working in teams of three to create an informational poster. Teacher Lynn Niehaus said the students researched words and pictures to present their final product – a poster categorized by shelter, resources, and culture – to the class.
After visiting the National Underground Railroad Freedom Center in November, Unit III fourth graders learned about and designed Freedom Quilts. The quilts, used during the time of slavery, incorporate patterns that translated into secret codes of communication for conductors of the Underground Railroad. Teacher Julie Guminey further explained the historic nature of the quilts by reading to the class The Patchwork Path by Bettye Stroud, which depicts the story of a little girl who traveled north as a slave and eventually achieved freedom with her father. After learning the true use of the freedom quilts, students colored paper squares of their own to form freedom quilts.

Examples of learning through inquiry . . . (continued) Upper School English and history students collaborated to create a rich experience for ninth-grade students studying Ancient Greece. “The idea started because the English department was seeing students ask the same questions about the same parts in Homer’s Odyssey,” said history teacher Brian Wabler. “We discussed ways to collaborate and decided that it would be beneficial to both classes to have the history students put together a two-to-three minute video based on Ancient Greece.” Students and teachers discussed the most effective way to present the videos to English students, who used them as resources in their study.

The Doherty third grade science class in Unit II unlocked mysteries of the food chain when they dissected owl pellets during their ecology unit. In their study about the interdependency among animals, the students inspected sterilized pellets to find out what happens to the indigestible material left in the gizzard such as teeth, skulls, claws, feathers, and other things too dangerous to pass through the rest of the owl’s digestive tract. To safely excrete this material, the owl’s gizzard compacts it into a tight pellet that the owl regurgitates. The regurgitated pellets are known as owl pellets.
