Grammy-nominated alum performs for lotspeich
Grammy-nominated artist and Seven Hills alum Zak Morgan ’89 performed for Lotspeich pre-kindergarten through fifth grade students during the weekly assembly on March 13. Students loved singing along with Morgan, playing musical games, and embracing their silly side together as a community. Students also asked Morgan about his music career, his family, and more during a brief Q&A with the performer.
Fourth graders dig deep into archeology
Middle and Upper School Latin teachers Marcie Handler and Katie Swinford shared their archeology experience with fourth graders on March 15 during science teacher Kate LeBare’s class. Hosting Handler and Swinford is part of the fourth graders’ exploration into how fossils are formed, the process of evolution, and the concept of biological inheritance.
Senior presents world premiere story to first grade
First graders enjoyed the world premiere of senior Lauren Alexander’s illustrated short story “The Adventures of Nature Girl.” The story follows Elle as she notices a white-tailed deer in her backyard and goes outside to explore, becoming “Nature Girl” in the process. Throughout her adventures, she learns the value of seeing the world without the accompaniment of phones, tablets, and other electronics. Eventually, after learning how to balance screen time and device usage, she brings her devices along on her adventures to complement her observations. Students also had the opportunity to ask Alexander questions about her writing journey and her process for creating an illustrated children’s book. Alexander completed the story for her personal challenge project and provided autographed copies for every first grader at Lotspeich.
Fifth grade learns about space and pi
Fifth graders in Laura OGrady and Danielle Levine’s classes traveled to the Cincinnati Observatory for a special program dedicated to learning about Pi, the solar system, and model rockets. Students learned about how telescopes work and how we’re able to see planets and other forms of celestial bodies from thousand of miles to millions of light years away with near-perfect clarity. When they returned to the Hillsdale campus, students also shared their memorization skills during the annual fifth grade digits of pi competition. Congratulations to Jonah McBride for memorizing 229 digits, Lila Edmonds-Shahani for 192 digits, and Caleb Cybulski for 159 digits. All three students won the opportunity to ‘pi’ their teachers!
