Getting Down to Work
Last Sunday, 我们的许多家庭庆祝复活节, 其他人则根据东正教日历在五月初庆祝. 我祝愿大家有一个快乐和祝福的逾越节. I also extend warm wishes to our Muslim families who mark Ramadan this month and Eid next week. Eid Mubarak. With their teacher away from school attending a national art educator conference, 今天上午我很荣幸上了第一节绘画课. Before class, 我坐在讲台前不停地敲击键盘, focused too much on clearing my inbox and looking up every few moments to greet students as they settled in. 8点55分，上课铃响了. I closed my laptop screen, stood up, and found ten students seated around the room. They had brushes in hand, paint palettes on trays in front of them, and heads down engrossed... More
通过研究和重要的行动来实现目标
本周，我们在全校会议上听到了两位bbin娱乐平台校友的发言. Dheekshita Kumar ‘16 spoke about her career as an entrepreneur and the ways her bbin娱乐平台 experience set her down that path. She told us about the time when she and her friends published a book of poetry as high schoolers with the support and guidance of their English teacher, who demystified self-publishing. She described the process of envisioning and launching bbin娱乐平台’s middle school model UN tournament (bbin娱乐平台MUN), which has now become an institution. The confidence she gained from her experiences bringing an idea to life at bbin娱乐平台 gave her a lifelong I-can-do-that attitude, which has translated into entrepreneurial success at an early age during and after college doing socially meaningful work. We also heard from Jon Freeman ’04, the recipient of this year’s Distinguished Alumni Award. Jon is a professor and researcher at Columbia University studying social psychology, combining that...

环球旅行和无墙教室
In just a few hours, 50 bbin娱乐平台 students, 在教职员工的带领下, 会在三个地方进行智力冒险吗. One group is off to Istanbul, 他们将在加州大学洛杉矶分校古典历史研究的基础上继续学习, modern politics and culture, 和几何通过奥斯曼建筑和装饰. 另一位则去巴黎亲身体验文学, visiting the places that so many of the expat writers from their American Literature course frequented and engaging in daily writing assignments while there. The third group heads to New York City for an art-focused whirlwind – jazz clubs, museums, operas, plays, 以及更多——补充他们每天在bbin娱乐平台工作室所做的工作, theater, and music room. These are not sightseeing trips. 它们是bbin娱乐平台教室的无墙版本. 我要感谢所有的教职员工... More
Asking Good Questions
昨天，我们的十年级学生参加了一个午餐谈话与博士. Ingrid Anderson, the Associate Director of BU’s Elie Wiesel Center for Jewish Studies. Dr. Anderson, who received her doctorate at BU, 埃利·威塞尔还是这里的教授时，我跟他上过很多课, worked closely with him, and has done a great deal of research and writing focused on Wiesel and his work. The students are in the midst of a unit in their history course exploring the Holocaust and the creation of the State of Israel. 他们最近读了埃利·威塞尔的《bbin娱乐平台》, the famous memoir of Wiesel’s experience at Auschwitz and Buchenwald during the Holocaust, 马上就会读威塞尔的《黎明, 以战后时期为背景的虚构作品. Dr. Anderson shared personal stories about what Wiesel was like as a teacher and mentor, 探讨他对道德和政治的看法, described the hundreds of... More
The Beauty of Many Hats
What an exciting week here at bbin娱乐平台! Last Friday, 爵士乐队和沼泽猫娱乐学生, faculty, staff, parents, 甚至爷爷奶奶来我们的情人节歌舞表演. The dance floor was quite a scene. Yesterday, both the boys and girls varsity basketball teams won their league championships in close games in front of a lively home crowd. In the girls game, 大四学生阿奈斯·金取得了一个罕见的里程碑——得了1分,000 points – which is even more impressive given that she did so in just three years (COVID canceled her 9th-grade season). 今晚，我们将在同一个体育馆庆祝农历新年. 东亚学生协会的学生, along with dozens of parents, have organized food, music, 和游戏，与整个bbin娱乐平台大家庭分享这一重要的文化时刻. 欢迎所有人，我们希望在那里看到你们中的许多人. I’m struck by how many of... More
Leadership is Learned
On Tuesday, Boston University’s interim President, Ken Freeman, spoke at our all-school meeting. 弗里曼校长在为波士顿大学服务方面有着杰出的历史, 包括担任波士顿大学奎斯特罗姆商学院院长8年. 在此之前，他在工业界工作了近40年, 包括康宁公司的高级管理职位, Quest Diagnostics, and private-equity firm KKR. In 2013, Harvard Business Review named him one of the 100 best performing CEOs in the world. 他知道一些关于领导力的事情——这是他那天早上的话题. 他生动地概述了我们所知道的成功领导力, peppering his talk with anecdotes and grounding it in decades of scholarship about what works and what doesn’t. He invited students to think about their own preferred leadership styles and challenged them to begin developing their own leadership philosophies. He touted the centrality of EQ. 最值得注意的是，他向我们的学生保证，领导是... More
Our Diversity is Our Strength
Students from the Geography Club and from Student Council’s PR Committee posted a world map at the foot of the staircase by the main entrance earlier this week. Attached to the map is a basket of pushpins and a request for students to add a pin to any locations connected to their heritage. Just a few days later, the map has now come alive with hundreds of multicolored pins. Yesterday afternoon, I joined some students gathered around the map analyzing the data – noticing the significant coverage of Europe, East Asia, South Asia, and parts of North America; tight clusters in East Africa, Central America, and the Middle East; and scattered points throughout the map. The story it tells is a beautiful one of a local school composed of and enriched by cultures from around the world. 我们感到自豪的是，bbin娱乐平台是一个不同文化的家庭和学生的地方... More
