Excerpt

"Starting freshman year is challenging. You got invited to this orientation, so you decide to go. Once you walk in, you can barely hear your own thoughts. The energy and excitement in the Commons is palpable, and even the Link Crew leaders are dancing to “YMCA” by the Village People over the speakers.

On a sunny Thursday, the Class of 2028 was invited to campus to get to know other incoming students and Link Crew leaders. Those leaders helped freshmen learn the ins-and-outs of their classes, the bell schedule and many other “little” features of high school life it was helpful to know."

"BEYOND THE LENS Filming the halftime show for the varsity football game on Oct. 11 against Lincoln, Rider Tetreau (11) gets paid to do something he enjoys. While not directly related to his future career goals, videography was something Tetreau viewed as a fun hobby that could lead to freelance opportunities. “Video Crew has taught me a lot of things like how to set up and operate a camera,” Tetreu said. “We have learned to adapt well to certain changes--like if someone calls off or weather changes.”

Excerpt

"Base-runners Lucas Fidh (11) and Nolan Klein (11) bolt towards home. Bedford’s outfielder throws the ball back to home plate to get out Fidh, but it is too late. The runners cross home plate as the tying and winning runs in a 9-8 walk-off win. The April 14 game, eighth of the season, was looking like it was going to be the team’s first loss through six innings. But, with motivation provided in part by assistant coaches Chris Patton and David Brooks, the team knew that their top priority at the moment was keeping their undefeated record set in stone."

"With so many accomplished, experienced players on the roster, there was an expectation that every game could be won--no matter the early deficit or the late inning. By the third week of April, their record was 10-3, with their losses coming from a total deficit of only five runs. Hunter Easton (12), a two-year varsity player never downsized the importance of the team’s vigor."

Y-11 ORGANIZATION SPREAD 1ST PLACE

Excerpt

"The auditorium was filled with over 300 students, 50 parents and 6 students, on the stage and under the spotlight, who spoke about their experiences and opinions on “The Next Chapter” of their high school lives and beyond. Each student speaker had been working toward this night since the previous school year, and when the night finally arrived, they spoke with passion and conviction. For returning speakers, like Neil Sachdeva (12), it was a new opportunity to be a leading example to others.

'My co-organizer Elizabeth Sandru (12) and I were inspired to host a second event to recreate and hopefully expand our community impact,' Sachdeva said. 'From the first event, I noticed how many people were able to learn about a wide variety of new topics.' From communication to representation, each speaker talked about their topics and impact that it could have, if the audience took action...."

Y-10 ACADEMICS SPREAD 3RD PLACE

Excerpt

"This event invited high school students and college students to experience what the digital journalism field provided. With the help of such professionals, the Broadcast Media Academy gave attendees a hands-on experience with news and sports broadcasting.

Mr. Bush had been teaching Video News Production since 2008, and when this event was offered through MAB in 2022, Bush saw a new opportunity for his students to explore the digital media industry through interactions with present-day professionals.

“I thought the trip was awesome. I think it went well. And it was entertaining to be there and see what goes on at a professional location like that.”

When asked about whether or not his class will attend next year, Mr. Bush said “Heck, yes.”"

Excerpt

“I wanted to support [the Connecting students] because I realized after working with them how hard their lives could be and that raising money could help them do something they enjoy,” Kedia said. “There was no problem for me to do that because it was such a small action that helped a bunch of people.”

All these small actions taken by so many people added up to $28,000 raised, which made our school the top fundraising school in the state. In helping make this happen, Ms. Tricia Fair spent many hours working with the Connecting students to plan the event, advertise it, initiate fundraising for it and, finally, run the event itself. Without her oversight and the students' help, the Polar Plunge would not have run, and the Special Olympics would have missed out on thousands of dollars.

“The Connecting students do this because they truly believe in inclusion and want our school to be a safe, welcoming environment for everyone,” Ms. Fair said."
