Around A-S

AS SEEN ON SOCIAL MEDIA...

Out on our festive brownstone steps, Head of School, David Trower, was joined by Allen- Stevenson parent, Hank Azaria, for a Q & A on this beautiful fall morning. Parents were thrilled to be able to gather in person outside on our closed street for this warm conversation.

Both Mr. Trower and Mr. Azaria shared how they each found their own paths in life while being guided and inspired by their fathers before them. As the season changes, Mr. Trower spoke of his plans for the "next chapter" of his life as he will be retiring at the end of the school year. He also shared his excitement for the future of A-S as we will soon be welcoming a new head of school!

We thank our outstanding Parents Association for putting this community event together.

At Allen-Stevenson we celebrate the Spanish language each and every day as it is studied by all of our boys, from Kindergarten through Eighth Grade. Today, in celebration of LatinX/Hispanic Heritage Month, these kindergarten students stepped outside to enjoy using a favorite tool— sidewalk chalk - to draw the flags of España, Argentina, and Colombia while learning the colors en español.

Fourth-grade Robotics students applied themselves enthusiastically to building and programming their Lego EV3 Mindstorm robots. Afterward, they enjoyed taking them into the library for a robot invasion!

Robotics class is so much more than connecting blocks and coding. The boys are problem-solving, working collaboratively, and stretching those critical thinking muscles.

Our Junior Varsity Soccer team literally basking in the sunny glow of yesterday’s victory! Congratulations to Coach Wiseman and the boys for their excellent teamwork and commitment.

#AllenS_Athletics #Teamwork #AllenS_JuniorVarsity Sixth Grade Science Teacher, Erik Divan, led students in an exploration of various geological sites of interest starting at 79th St and heading all the way up to the Harlem Meer. Such a beautiful, sunny day to learn about amphibolite rock formations; metamorphic or igneous? Ask your sixth grader— they will know the answer! Perhaps they might enjoy talking to you about the difference between Hartland and Manhattan Schist.

At a balancing boulder in an area known as “The Pool,” the class paused to learn that the original inhabitants of New York City were the Lenape tribe who gave our city the name, Mannahatta (land of many hills). All took a moment to feel thankful, "Wanishi," for the glorious weather and our great fortune to be together today in Central Park.

Music plays a vital role in an Allen-Stevenson education. In our Upper Division Orchestra, boys hone their musical skills individually while necessarily being attuned to the larger group. To name just a few of the myriad benefits of musical training, students develop hand-eye coordination, confidence, discipline, memorization skills, pattern recognition, creative thinking, and emotional intelligence. Music, in its own right, has a significantly positive impact on our daily lives and our students certainly reap the benefits.
