From Shelley Joslin & Dominique Bartoughian, High School ASB/Leadership Teachers:
On Thursday, November 20, the High School ASB presented the school's third annual Pep Rally. All of the students gathered on the basketball court behind their grade level sign. Students were dressed in the color assigned to their grade, which was: 12th grade-Red, 11th Grade-Orange, 10th Grade-Yellow, 9th Grade-Green, 8th Grade-Blue, and 7th Grade-Purple. The "Opening Ceremonies" started at 12:30pm, with each grade level performing an entertaining dance routine. Then, small groups of students from each grade participated in a number of games, including tug-of-war, limbo, hungry hippos and a relay race to determine the winning team!
The 11th Grade was the grade level with the most points, so their class won the trophy! They were followed closely in score by the 8th and 12th Grades, who took second and third place. Special thanks to student leads Mia B. '26 and Beatrix M. '26 for their hard work and enthusiasm in emceeing this fun event; to Trevor Olson, Nick Scacco, Ryan Stevens, and Alicia Tembi for being the event judges; to Tom Hopper for providing the AV support and Morgan Brown for keeping score; to all of the students who participated in the Pep Rally events; and to everyone in the audience for cheering and supporting our students. This event was so much fun for everyone, and we are glad it has become an annual event at The Grauer School!
Somewhere between the instructions and the homework, something wild is still trying to enter the room. This poem is about learning how not to scare it away.

Inside a nuclear fusion lab, one rule is unforgiving: you can’t fake the math. What happens when our education systems start doing exactly that? Join Stuart on a behind-the-scenes tour of the tokamak fusion lab—and a wakeup call.
