Max’s effort was part of the December Health Fair, which featured interactive displays and presentations on important topics for teens, including energy drinks, opioid addiction, sugar addiction, body shaming, and nutrition. 3 Students in the PACs, Polls, and Primaries class participated in a mock debate on Election Day, representing the viewpoints of each of the candidates: (from left) Desmond Tracey ’17 (Jill Stein), Eric Hernandez ’17 (Gary Johnson), Connor Sakal ’17 (Hillary Clinton), and Xander Kaylan ’17 (Donald Trump). 4 Grandparents and Special Friends Day in November saw a record attendance, as visitors like Stu and Eve Leher, aunt and uncle of David Feinman ’19 (left), joined classes in session, attended receptions and dinners, and saw the debut of the fall play. 5 Laxmi Beard ’19 gets busy cleaning The Living Machine® in the Samson Environmental Center during the first Hands-to-Work in September. 6 Students in the Herbology elective prepared a variety of products to sell at the Mountain Road School Holiday Fair in December.
