Supporting Ukrainian
With the ongoing war in Ukraine, Seven Hills students and faculty at all levels have been finding ways to support those affected. Upper School senior Gabriella Khaskelis, who has family from Ukraine, started a fundraiser to raise $2,000 through Razmon for Ukraine, a Ukrainian-American nonprofit that is helping people in need in Ukraine. “When those horrible events started, I could not be a bystander to the lives of so many people in different regions of Ukraine,” she said in an email to the Upper School asking students, teachers, and faculty to donate. She exceeded her goal by $50. The Upper School history department held its second lunchtime talk for Upper School students with questions about the conflict. The sixth grade It’s Your World Class held the school-wide Aid for Ukraine Drive that coincided with Global Education Day. Each division focused on a set of supplies, which were donated to Mathew 25: Ministries for the organization’s Ukraine aid shipments.
Seven Hills Names Hauck Scholarship Winners
Seven Hills has awarded the 2022 Frederick Hauck Scholarship to eighth grader Ethan Avera, sophomore Dhanush Bearelly, and juniors Christy Baldwin, Shanaya Bharucha, Rohan Nambiar, and Jack Ringel. The Hauck Scholarship recognizes students who demonstrate outstanding commitment and achievement in math or science. Recipients are chosen based on their academic achievement in math and science and a demonstrated special interest in math and science outside of the classroom. The award is named after Dr. Frederick A. Hauck, a world-renowned nuclear scientist, and philanthropist. He served on the Atomic Energy Commission and worked closely with Albert Einstein. In addition to his scientific achievement, he was a businessman, explorer, historian, industrialist, metallurgist, nature lover, and humanitarian. Winning students entering grades nine through 12 receive a one-year scholarship of $1,000 to be applied to next school year’s tuition at Seven Hills’ Upper School.
