Congratulations to fourth-grader Kendall C. ‘33, who became a state champion during spring break! Competing at the 2025 Maryland T&T State Championships, she took home first place in tumbling and the double-mini trampoline and earned fifth place on the trampoline in the 9-10 age division. With those results, Kendall has qualified in all three events at the National Championships, which will take place in Minneapolis from July 10-13. Way to go, Kendall, and good luck this summer! (fb)

As part of their Black History Month studies, first-grade students explored the entrepreneurial journey of Mikaila Ulmer, a young innovator who transformed fear into knowledge, raising awareness about the importance of bees and environmental conservation. As an exciting extension of their learning, students engaged with beekeeping firsthand. First graders welcomed Peter Cavanaugh ’26, and his father, David Cavanaugh, for a special visit. Peter has worked with bees alongside his father for the past 10 years and eagerly shared his knowledge with first-grade students.
