Country Fair 2026 By Darcy Yu ’27
Out of all the traditions at Eaglebrook, Country Fair is one of the oldest and most anticipated traditions, dating back to 1942. Country Fair is a time when Eaglebrook comes together as a community and organizes an event that everyone, from students to their parents, can enjoy. Country Fair is essentially an event similar to New England-style fairs. Each advisee group prepares its own stall, featuring activities or food. This preparation begins a week before Country Fair, as students design posters and start building their activities during the advisor meetings. On the day of Country Fair, parents arrive in the morning and gather in the Assembly Area for the student council president’s Assembly. This year, Anderson Aihie ’27 is giving the Assembly. After the Assembly, student, along with their parents, head to 25-minute classes. Students have the chance to present their work so far to their parents in class through presentations or fun activities, in both academic and elective subjects. After classes, students and their families head to the dining hall for a buffet lunch. In the afternoon, students spend time with their families and can give them a tour of the Eaglebrook campus. Then, at 2:30, the Jazz Band performs on the gym steps, commencing the start of Country Fair. After the performance, students and their families are free to explore the various booths offered on Memorial Field. These stands feature activities such as obstacle courses and sliding Cholula bottles, as well as foods like bubble tea and yakisoba. The next day, parents attend parent-teacher conferences and, in the afternoon, watch their child play a game in their child’s sport. After sports, students can depart with their parents for the weekend. This year, all the students are excited about the arrival of the Country Fair.
The New Dining Hall By Jason Hu ’28
For the past few years, Eaglebrook’s new dining hall has been under construction. We finally broke through this stage of campus renovations at the start of last summer break. In the new dining hall, we have a much larger, brand-new kitchen, a permanent indoor snack area, a new package room, the Learning Kitchen, and the Skybox. The different setup between Gibbs Dining Hall and this new one enables students to filter in and out of the dining hall more smoothly. Though the furnishings from Gibbs have been partly reused, the overall vibe of the place has completely shifted. It feels more open to the outside, thanks to those marvelous, brand-new floor-to-ceiling windows. I do say that the comfy sofas in the new snack area are a large upgrade from the benches in the old one. The package room also got a makeover; it’s been noticeably enlarged. However, even with the increase in size, the lines for packages still pile up for what seems like forever.
Clubs and Committees By Max Yoon ’27
Clubs are truly a unique aspect of Eaglebrook. Whether it has been around for years or was founded this year, students never fail to create an entertaining and welcoming space for peers with similar interests. Clubs are open to all grades, giving students opportunities to connect with peers outside their grade and classes. From the newly founded Gratitude Club to the Music Club, established years ago, Eaglebrook offers a wide variety of student-led clubs that foster creativity, leadership, and a sense of community. A couple of new clubs introduced to Eaglebrook this year are the Gratitude
Club, created by Derek Kang ’27 and Ryan Hur ’27, the Harkness Club, founded by Logan Oh ’27 and Peter Brown ’27, and the Bowling Club started by Anderson Aihie ’27. Although all of these clubs are sponsored by faculty and supervised during meetings, each club’s leaders schedule meetings and activities.
Apart from clubs, committees are mostly faculty-led, but consist of Sixth Form leaders who work as a team to nurture the Eaglebrook community and others. The Community Outreach Committee, for example, strives to support groups outside of Eaglebrook. This year, the Outreach Committee plans to collaborate with the Gratitude Club to support groups within Eaglebrook, such as the maintenance crew. Beyond the Outreach, other committees emphasize the regular life at Eaglebrook. For
The new learning kitchen has already been praised by many students. The Cooking Club and the new cooking class have already been taking advantage of it. Despite the use, the teaching kitchen is clean, organized, and stocked with ingredients every day. The Skybox is that handy-dandy space at the top of the dining hall steps, right where the main entrance is. It’s used to hold committee meetings and school visits, and it’s simply a great place to be. Its view of the hills and the small patch of grass in front of the dining hall cements it as one of the most beautiful places on campus, and that is no easy title to claim. In summary, our new dining hall is not just a place to eat and drink, but also a place to learn, talk, and connect with each other. It serves as the foundation for the next phases of improvements in campus life. So, next time you’re eating Chicken Kiev in the new dining hall, think to yourself how much more this place has to offer. instance, the Sustainability, Wellness, and Food Committees are all pillars of campus life. Whether focusing on Eaglebrook or in the broader world, these committees ensure that leadership in Eaglebrook is never siloed. Since Committees are usually
for Sixth Form students, they require Sixth Form students to be proactive. From keeping each dorm updated on sustainability challenges to alerting underformers to article deadlines in the Outlook, they display leadership to soon-to-be Sixth Form students.

Meet Ms. Bowers: A New Eaglebrook English Teacher By Adrian Li ’27

Ms. Bowers is one of the many talented new faculty joining Eaglebrook this year. With a background as a math and STEM teacher, she brings a versatile perspective that can inspire students and reassure parents about her adaptability. Ms. Bowers grew up near Chicago, where she first discovered her love for teaching. Ms. Bowers and her husband, Chris, have moved a lot, calling places like Ohio, West Virginia, Indiana, and Pennsylvania home. Ms. Bowers first looked into Eaglebrook as a parent, exploring options for her son, Joe Bowers ’29. She instantly fell in love with Eaglebrook and its philosophies of teaching, especially valuing how Eaglebrook integrated the outdoors, sports, leadership opportunities, and academics seamlessly into a student’s day-to-day life. Believing that Eaglebrook was the perfect environment for boys, especially at this developmental stage in their lives, she signed up as an English teacher when an opening arose. Ms. Bowers has already integrated well into our community, actively supporting students and contributing to activities like library proctoring and dorm monitoring. She is a teacher, an advisor, and a parent. Welcome to Eaglebrook, Ms. Bowers!
Meet Ms. Kim By David Park ’27
Eaglebrook is delighted to welcome Ms. Kim, our new piano teacher. She is originally from South Korea; she moved to Austin, Texas, in 2011 to study abroad and made the city her home until she joined Eaglebrook School. Before joining us, she was part of Little Tiger Chinese Immersion School and St. Andrew’s Episcopal School in Austin.
Her first impression of Eaglebrook was the beauty of the campus. She loved how the glass walls in each building allowed students to appreciate nature while studying. She admitted that she was a little nervous about joining and teaching in an all-boys school; as a mother of two sons, she knew how energetic boys can be. However, as soon as she met our students in person, she discovered how wonderful and welcoming they were.
Throughout her lessons, she prioritizes building confidence and joy through personal growth above all else. Because learning an instrument requires repeated practice and patience, she works to create an encouraging environment where students can feel safe and comfortable making mistakes, discover their own musical voice and each one’s strengths, and experience the pride of performing the music.
This year, her main goal is to adjust and get to know Eaglebrook and its great community. Her message to the students was surprisingly heartfelt. She believes every student here is special and encourages each to appreciate the wonderful opportunities that Eaglebrook provides, cherish every moment, and make lifelong memories with their friends. Welcome to Eaglebrook. Ms. Kim!

Meet Mr. Chatson
Meet Mr. Ellinwood
With the school year on the Hill commencing, we are honored to welcome one of our new faculty members, Mr. Chatson! He is currently teaching the following classes throughout the trimester: Foundational Art, Drawing and Painting, and Mixed Media. Mr. Chatson is also serving as a vital water polo coach, specifically instructing the team’s goalies in rigorous training sessions. Additionally, he is expecting to coach one of the squash teams in the winter season, but has yet to determine a spring sport. Inside the dormitories, Mr. Chatson works as an advisor at Eagles Nest, yet resides in one of the recently constructed apartments at Halsted. The principal factor in Mr. Chatson’s decision to come to Eaglebrook was his experience tutoring students during a summer program at the Loomis Chaffee School. As a Loomis alum, he has frequently encountered the cordial, hospitable environment of a boarding school and has been devoted to teaching teenagers subjects he prefers. He perceived his occupation as an “opportunity for [his students] to grow” and to explore distinctive features of subjects that weren’t available elsewhere. So far at Eaglebrook, he has identified a multitude of highlights that remain remarkable in his memory, one of them being his classes held outdoors on the patio outside the Art Studio, where students could relish the mesmerizing beauty of nature. Mr. Chatson is especially fond of the inherently formed bond between students and his colleagues. In anticipation of the upcoming academic year, Mr. Chatson looks forward to collaborating with various students at a Ceramics WEA session, aspiring to create intricate clay structures using aesthetically pleasing techniques. Additionally, he expressed plans to host a canoe trip with various faculty members to explore diverse oceanic environments during the school year.
From teaching high school English at Saint Paul’s to teaching middle school English at Eaglebrook, Mr. Ellinwood has maintained a strong passion for English. He loves reading his extensive collection of books in his free time and also writes poetry. Some of his works are similar to Shakespeare’s and always strive to be better. Although he might be the next Edgar Allen Poe, he is also a great soccer player. He has an elite skill set and could dribble past almost anyone on the soccer field. His shots are immaculate and precise, serving as an example in shooting drills. Mr. Ellinwood coaches Thirds soccer, passing his knowledge down to the students who look up to him as an amazing role model.
By Geo Kim ’27
By Chopard Lin ’27
Mr. Ellinwood hopes that if his students only learn one thing in his class, it would be how to become adults and to try their best every day. Each morning, Mr. Ellinwood sets the same goal: to feel tired at the end of the day, knowing that you have given your all. This is one thing I think everyone should live by: when you collapse on your bed from fatigue, you know you tried your hardest, no matter the result. Mr. Ellinwood embodies hard work and resilience, as shown by his dedication to teaching his students to the best of his ability.
Mr. Ellinwood chooses to teach at Eaglebrook because he believes middle schoolers are at a stage where their minds and bodies can adapt quickly to their surroundings. He wants to show his students that they must try their hardest every day to succeed and talk to others with respect to get what they want. He mentions that everyone at Eaglebrook was very welcoming, and he looks forward to the year ahead.
Meet Dr. Budde By Daniel Liang ’27
In the 2026-2027 school year, Eaglebrook School welcomes Dr. Budde, a new Latin teacher, to our community. Dr. Budde lives at Halsted House, where he serves as a teacher, coach, and dorm parent. During the school year, Dr. Budde teaches Beginning and Novice Latin courses. However, he spends most of his time at Doubleday teaching the Third Formers. Prior to coming to Eaglebrook, Dr. Budde was completing his PhD dissertation. Originally from Milton, Massachusetts, Dr. Budde developed his passion for classical languages at an early age. Later, Dr. Budde attended Boston University for seven years for graduate studies, where he focused on Latin, Greek, and ancient history. During this period, Dr. Budde gained his first teaching experience as a substitute Latin teacher at Thayer Academy, where he taught Freshmen and Sophomores. As Dr. Budde joins the faculty team at Eaglebrook, he is most excited to keep challenging and inspiring the Third Formers during class and help push the Thirds soccer team towards success on the field. He is also eager to lead and participate in Mountain Club trips, especially canoeing. Over the school year, Dr. Budde will be coaching the Junior Varsity hockey team in the winter
and the Ultimate Frisbee team in the spring. Among these sports, Dr. Budde is most excited to coach ice hockey, as it aligns with his identity and childhood passions. Besides coaching sports, Dr. Budde says that the biggest difference between teaching middle schoolers and high schoolers in Latin is the class size. He believes this is a very important part of the learning experience, since smaller class sizes at Eaglebrook allow him to assess each student’s needs in greater detail. In life, Dr. Budde values hard work the most. He states that without hard work, people will not realize their capabilities. Along this journey, patience is also a key to success. However, Dr. Budde believes that relaxing is also crucial. That’s why he loves to cook with his partner Anna, play sports, and hang out with his advisees during his free time. So far, Dr. Budde has been loving Eaglebrook, and we look forward to an amazing school year with him.
LIFE AT EAGLEBROOK Student Council By Derek Kang ’27
The student council is an elected group of Sixth Formers who are chosen by their peers to represent the student body. This year’s council members consist of Anderson Aihie ’27, Derek Kang ’27, Sungbin Lim ’27, Finn Matheson ’27, Chase Quebec ’27, Enhua Liu ’27, Austin Yeung ’27, Dante Guerra ’27, David Park ’27, Anthony Zhao ’27, and Jaden Godette ’27. The student council works alongside Ms. Blain to ensure students’ voices are heard and ideas become reality. The student council has organized many informal Fridays, pop-up stores around the year, and many fun and creative weekend activities that have given students lots of fun. This year’s student council is planning to host many fun activities, as well as another pop-up store. We also contribute to the school in many different ways. For example, October 1st is Cancer Awareness Day, also known as Pink Day. The student council, teaming up with Ms. Pleasant, is going to celebrate and host this day by having the whole school wear pink for one day. We made announcements and created posters to stick around the school to raise awareness.
What’s New At The Copley Library? By Addie Pieroni ’27 and Charlie Bucci ’27
Books, snacks, and big fall events! Make sure to visit the library to discover new books and displays, and keep an eye out for upcoming events. There has been a lot of buzz in the hallways this fall, and most of it is coming from the Copley Library! Between brand-new books on the shelves, amazing new visual displays, and fun events hosted by our very own Library Committee, the Copley Library is quickly becoming the place to be. If you haven’t stopped by lately, make sure to check out our new book arrivals. The library has added tons of fresh fiction, popular young adult series, awesome nonfiction books, and many more. New visual displays featuring student artwork, seasonal themes, and top reading picks are there to inspire your next read and encourage you to visit often and take it all in. Come by whenever and check out a book that piques your interest! The Library Committee has been kicking off some great events this year. On Wednesday, September 23, they hosted a "Book Tasting event," giving students a sneak peek and early access to some of the most anticipated books of the year. Look out for more events coming soon to keep you engaged and informed. Anyone can come to these events, so we welcome everyone to stop by! The committee will celebrate Banned Books Week (an annual campaign to promote freedom of speech) with a special "Banned Snacks" event on October 7th. Students who attend may enjoy a variety of banned snacks at the dining hall, hang out with friends, and learn about literary freedom, why certain books were challenged in the past, and why it’s important to have access to all kinds of stories. Whether you need a quiet spot to study or just want to grab a good book after Hilly Chase, the Copley Library is a calm and friendly place where everyone can find something. Be sure to stop by and see what’s new!
Meet Mr. Hull: Eaglebrook’s Newest Math Teacher By Andre Chan ’27
Mr. Hull is one of the newest members of the faculty at Eaglebook, and he has already made himself at home in the classroom, on the trails, and around campus. You may have already met Mr. Hull around campus; he is affiliated with Mayer House and also has an advisory group. Mr. Hull comes to Eaglebrook from Syracuse. Prior to starting his teaching career, he studied at Ohio State. Before arriving at Deerfield, he taught at both Shady Side Academy in Pittsburgh and at Isadore Newman School in New Orleans, both for three years. At Shady Side Academy, Mr. Hull noted that this favorite memory was “taking part in all the Mardi Gras festivities that the school puts on and eating the incredible food.” While at Isadore Newman School, he talked about how his favorite memory was “when I watched the 8th graders that started with me at the school graduate from middle school.” In the classroom, Mr. Hull teaches Fifth Form Algebra and Sixth Form Geometry. Outside the classroom, during sports, he coaches Cross Country and Track & Field. Sports have always been a part of Mr. Hull’s life; he ran cross country and track and field throughout middle and high school. Growing up in New York and surrounded by Buffalo Bills fans, the team sort of stuck with him; when asked what his favorite sports teams were, he replied with the Buffalo Bills and his university’s football team, the Ohio State Buckeyes. When it comes to music, his favorite song or band depends on the day, but his longtime favorites are Greta Van Fleet and Metallica. As for what he looks forward to, Mr. Hull has his eye on Mountain Day and all the other outdoor activities coming soon. So if you happen to see Mr. Hull anywhere on campus, whether it’s in the classroom, at sports, at Mayer House, or just around the corner, don’t hesitate to say hello. Welcome to Eaglebrook, Mr. Hull!
The council meets every Tuesday after classes, but will periodically have meetings throughout the week. We are also very involved in the Eaglebrook community, not only by hosting events and celebrations, but also by serving as club/committee leaders, sports captains, etc. Often, you see many of us working with faculty and students or trying to make a genuine, positive impact on the school community. The student council’s main goal is to improve the community and ensure that every individual student feels they belong and matter. We do this through hearing out fellow students’ ideas by checking in with students and even faculty from time to time. We strive to strengthen the brotherhood of Eaglebrook and ensure that all students’ ideas are heard. However, oftentimes students overlook how much control we truly have over the school. We hope the students understand that we deeply and truly care about every single one of them and their ideas, but some can’t be brought to life; still, we work very hard to do the best we can.
Sixth Form Summer Leadership By Toby Tang ’27
This summer, the Sixth Formers took on a very early leadership role in contributing to the new Eaglebrook community. Many participated in the Summer Welcome sessions, a series of three online meetings in which Sixth Formers and faculty members introduced new students to life at Eaglebrook. They touched on topics like school traditions, sports, what to pack, and other aspects of the community and day-to-day life. These meetings were around an hour long, with times that were perfect for both U.S. and international students, so that all could participate. The Sixth Formers in these meetings did fantastically. They came from diverse backgrounds and experiences at Eaglebrook, so they were able to draw on the school’s knowledge, community, and programs to provide the best possible start for the new students. Everyone tried their best to be as simple and understandable as possible, providing clear and useful information. On the other hand, the new students listened very carefully to what the Sixth Formers had to say and were committed to attending these meetings. It was great to see the attention they paid to listening to the sixth formers and the thoughtful questions they asked afterward. However, these meetings would not have been possible without the involvement of all the faculty. They worked hard to prepare all the meeting topics to ensure a well-structured agenda and cover as much information as possible. In short, these summer welcome meetings worked very well, and we thank everyone who helped.

LIFE AT EAGLEBROOK Cooking Classes
Gibbs Construction
By Ted Tian ’29
The cooking class is a new elective at Eaglebrook this year in our new dining hall. This ambition was made possible by the hard work of the construction workers and contributions from parents. The dining hall now has a wonderful new kitchen space with quality equipment. There is also a cooking classroom, where the cooking elective is held. The goal of the elective is to help students become familiar with kitchen equipment and gain independence. Both the kitchen and the cooking classrooms have sliding glass doors. This design aspect helps keep the spaces inside the classrooms clean while also serving as windows through which others can see what the students are doing. “This inspires new students to try the new cooking elective,” said our cooking class teacher, Ms. Lien. During the class, students learn about culinary safety, hygiene, and routine. They learn a variety of kitchen techniques, safety practices, and ways to avoid injury. They learn how to cut things with a knife, how to cook, and how to keep their workspace clean. For example, one of the fundamental skills we started with was basic cutting skills. We practiced this by

The start of the new school year has brought about many changes: a new dining hall, new faculty, new students, and even a new soccer field. But one change that evoked bittersweet emotions was the renovation of Gibbs Dining Hall. For more than 50 years, Gibbs was a place where faculty and students dined together, capturing half a century of laughter, joy, and festivities beneath its brown checkered carpets, wooden interior, and dim lighting.
cutting watermelon and other fruits. Then, we made Korean glass noodles and tiramisu. Students are researching new recipes we could make in the future. Most importantly, all of us were absolutely delighted when we finally got to taste the food we had worked so hard on and spent so much time on. All of which relates to one of the main concepts of Eaglebrook: Labor. One of the major challenges of the cooking class is that the class period is short, which leaves little time for tidying up and coming to the dining hall. We divided each cooking class into 3 45-minute sessions, so we can prepare things ahead of time and have enough time to learn and cook. The new equipment also enhanced our efficiency. For example, our new smart induction stove significantly reduced cleaning time while also making the kitchen safer, since it won’t burn when you put your hands on it. Overall, this new elective was a fresh experience, and all the students enjoyed it. We wish to make more delicious food under the guidance of Ms. Lien with our amazing kitchen!
Gratitude Club
By Derek Kang ’27 and Ryan Hur ’27
The Gratitude Club of Eaglebrook School is a new club founded by Ryan Hur ’27 and Derek Kang ’27, where students of Eaglebrook give back to the community by taking meaningful actions. Sponsored by Ms. Blain, the club takes another step forward to express our love and gratitude to the people who support our community. The club rests on the belief that gratitude is not only something we hold on to silently, but is something we do. Every community is held together by people whose work is largely overlooked: the maintenance workers who arrive before sunrise, the kitchen staff who provide food for hundreds, and so much more. The Gratitude Club exists to recognize these people and thank them in ways they can feel warmth and love. Every action we take is followed by two commitments. First, that gratitude is not superficial. An example of superficial, or passive, gratitude is a phrase like “I
Fall Play: Fish Wish By Jason Hu ’28
This year’s fall play, Fish Wish by Karinne Keithley Syers, is inspired by the stories of writers Grimm and Pushkin. Our narrators are three brothers living in an old high-rise full of noisy hallways and crowded apartments. One brother, Otis (Kaden Song), is a gentle-hearted fisherman who sees the good in everyone around him. His older brother, Huddle (Adrian Li), is a bit

As Gibbs moves into a new stage, it will no longer provide nourishment to the community but rather foster an atmosphere of care and education. Wes Smith, Eaglebrook’s Chief Construction Manager, has big visions for the new space, including new additions to classrooms and a spacious new home for the Health Center. He says that “All of the programming that is currently held in Baines can be moved over to Gibbs - classrooms on the upper level and the Health Center on the lower level.” The iconic dark timber deck will remain, but the basement will provide new accommodations for the health center. These include, but are not limited to, more patient rooms and an additional exam room. He strongly believes in retaining the space and much of its exterior characteristics, such as the large window openings and intricate wooden ceilings, saying, “We found it possible to achieve the project goals through renovation rather than new construction.” But with any ambitious project, progress has not come without its fair share of hurdles. Possible shutdowns and even occupancy in restricted spaces pose the main obstacles for this project. “The challenge for this project is that it is in the middle of our campus. There is a limited staging area for materials and equipment, and construction vehicle access conflicts with the high foot traffic of students & faculty.” Mr. Smith explains. In addition, Mr. Smith expresses concern that the construction will affect the surrounding environment. “ Construction is noisy, and classes are occurring simultaneously. The green construction fence creates a physical barrier but not a sound barrier.” He notes. School days are regularly flooded with the cacophony of construction sounds. The steady hum of heavy machinery, the shouts of workers, and the beeps of excavators. This project, Mr. Smith estimates, will take about 18 months, finishing in the late fall of 2027. Students in the class of 2028 will be able to enjoy such a wonderful space, which was once a dining hall and is now a sanctuary for education and a state-of-the-art health center.
am grateful for my family” or “I am grateful for the nice weather outside”. Rather than a sincere emotional connection, this type of gratitude serves as a mood booster. On the other hand, the gratitude we strive for is active. It could be a thank-you note or a cookie made with devotion. Second, everyone can contribute. No matter the skill or experience, only time and effort matter. We plan to team up with the outreach committee, a committee whose values align with ours. By teaming up, we look forward to hosting various activities that will help us expand our appreciation for the community in many different ways. We are also creating a letter table where you write a note of gratitude to people and put it in a box, and at the end of every day, the gratitude club delivers it to that someone. If you are interested, please email either Ms. Blain, Ryan Hur, or Derek Kang. more bossy and lazier, and much more similar in temperament to the youngest brother. Baby Legs (Jagger Newlin) is, simply put, used to getting everything he wants. And the two want more than they have now.
One day, Otis catches a magical fish (Addie Pieroni). What does the fish do? The title probably tells us much; you’ll have to see it to see how far it goes and how crazy it gets! This play’s cast is a diverse group of both multiple-year veterans and brandnew students; this unique balance of
experience is sure to make the play lively as always.
The directors are Mr. Nick Jodka and Ms. Karinne Syers, with special thanks to Mr. Tod Pleasant.

EAGLEBROOK SP RTS
Varsity Football By Adrian Hsu ’27
Varsity Soccer
Anderson Aihie ’27 and Sangwon Lee ’27
The Eaglebrook Varsity soccer team has had an explosive start to the new season. However, we are always trying to get better every single day. The team captains, Laminee Sesay ’27 and Briggs Olin ’27, lead the team in a lap around the pitch to get started, and then jump right into our stretching lines. After the stretching, we do a team keep-away drill to practice quick combination passing and quick decision-making. After that, we work on shooting drills to improve our shots and conditioning so we stay fit. Once the warm-up drills are finished, we focus on special teams, like our set pieces, corner kicks, and defending the box. We want to make sure we are prepared for every situation. Near the end of practice, we play quick 5v5 games to improve our in-game playmaking. We kicked off our season with a friendly scrimmage against Deerfield Academy, where we had a strong 2-0 win, setting a strong tone for the year. At the start of the school year, there was great news for the Varsity soccer team. This summer, our school built a brand new soccer field, the Varsity Field. Students and coaches were thrilled about this news. However, there was an even bigger surprise about this field. The company that worked on our field, Tuckahoe Turf Farms, was the same that installed the grass for Gillette Stadium’s World Cup pitch.
The Varsity football team is off to a great start to the season, with veterans leading the way and helping teammates of all experience levels, new and old, step up their game. This kind of leadership builds both players and a stronger, more connected team heading into every game. The focus on teamwork starts the moment practice begins. Practice starts with a team jog in two lines, then forming lines of 4 to continue the warm-up, before wrapping up with one perfectly executed jumping jack. These warm-ups prepare both the mind and body for practice. Coaches then start clapping, from slow to fast, gathering the team and explaining what the team is doing in practice today. Varsity football usually shares the turf with the JV team, but gets the turf to themselves during early practice every Wednesday, giving the group some added space and focus to start the day. After warm-ups, the team splits into position-based groups, where players focus on improving their individual skills tied to their role on the field. From here, the whole team comes back together to run offensive and defensive plays as a full unit. Beyond practice time, players also dedicate time to studying and memorizing plays, showing that football success depends as much on preparation as on athleticism. The preparation has already paid off. Varsity football opened the season with a 26-14 win over the Fessenden School under the lights, setting a strong tone right at the start of the season. Now, the team is preparing for its next challenge, a game against Cardigan Mountain School on October 10th. Players and coaches are looking forward to beating the Cougars on Cardigan Day. The practices are led by our wonderful coaches, Mr. Andy Bedell, Mr. Jim Fay, Mr. David Goodrow, Mr. Seven Terry, and our head coach, Mr. Jack Faulstick. Players on the 26-27 Varsity football team include: Justice Asante ’27, Duncan Bedell ’27, Xavier Berube ’27, Nathaniel Bobb ’28, JJ Bones ’27, PJ Brodeur ’28, Peter Brown ’27, Sebastian Cambara ’28, Will Carroll ’28, Tyler Crean ’27, Andy Duan ’27, Buzz Fox ’27, Colton Fuller ’28, Lane Fuller ’27, Colin Galli ’27, Jaden Godette ’27, Lachlan Heaney ’28, Henry Hornblower ’27, Adrian Hsu ’27, James Kang ’27, Riggins Kopcza ’27, Troy Kostiuk ’28, Chase Lee ’27, Chopard Lin ’27, Dominic Malzone ’28, Finn Matheson ’27, Jamie McGee ’27, Michael Mickiewicz ’27, Silvio Muzzo ’27, Prestyn Petrizzi-Richmond ’27, Zachary Thompson ’28, Malakai Veras ’27, Teague Washburn ’28, and Rintaro Yokokawa ’27.
Our Varsity team had its first game on the new field against Vermont Academy and won 8-0. The main goal scorers of the game were Laminee Sesay ’27 and Anderson Aihie ’27. Our most recent game against Williston Northampton was an absolute thriller. It was a dramatic win, and the final score was 3-2! Laminee Sesay ’27 has been having a breakout, scoring 8 goals in three games! One of the main reasons for our success has been our team chemistry and ability to work our hardest, especially on defense. During morning WEAs, we tend to do team activities to build our collaboration. This consists of trivia, yoga, watching soccer games, and more. Our next game is going to be at Fay School on October 2nd. The game is going to be a Night Lights game, and we are hoping to get a win. After starting the season undefeated and with all the new equipment and facilities, I believe Varsity soccer can have a season of success and growth! The coach and players that are on the team this season consist of: Head Coach Robinson, Coach Leyden, Coach Weichselbaumer ’16, Anderson Aihie ’27, Fernando Aparicio ’27, Jack Avila ’28, Drew Carvel ’28, Henry Dowsett ’28, Gavin Krahn ’28, Sangwon Lee ’27, Pablo Leon de la Barra Ariza ’27, Gabo Llaguno Velasco ’27, Christopher Newson ’28, Briggs Olin ’27, Daniel Pang ’27, Michael Qiu ’28, Brody Rubin ’27, Elliot Scott ’28, Laminee Sesay ’27, Lucas Van Impe ’28, Jack Villamizar ’28, Thomas Yang ’28, and Anthony Zhao ’27.
Varsity Water Polo By Logan Oh ’27
Water polo is widely regarded as one of the most demanding sports in the world, requiring enormous endurance and skill from every player. Eaglebrook athletes, however, have always tried their best to rise to that challenge, and over the past 31 years, the team has had consistent success in the pool. This year’s season began early, with the first game coming just five days after practice started. In preparation for the opener against St. John’s Prep, the team focused on its counterattack and drilling set positions. The effort and intensity shown in those five practices carried over into a great performance at St. John’s Prep. With much of last year’s Varsity squad graduating, only four returning Varsity players remained on the roster. Despite that disadvantage, the team delivered an outstanding performance, winning 9 to 5. Numerous lead breaks, along with the counterattack positioning practiced all week, made the victory possible. A week later, the team faced West Hartford Club. After a week of heavy shooting practice, Eaglebrook earned a commanding 17 to 5 win. Looking ahead, the team is excited for the rest of the season, with big matchups against Suffield and Deerfield Academy coming up next week. Eaglebrook’s Water polo team is led by Head Coach Russ Yarworth, Assistant Coach Brie Dickinson, and a new Assistant Coach, David Chatson. The water polo team is lucky to have such experienced coaches who are passionate about the sport. This year’s Varsity roster includes Charlie Bucci ’27, Andrew Goodridge ’29, Dante Guerra ’27, Ryan Hur ’27, Derek Kang ’27, Fritz Keber ’27, Geo Kim ’27, Leo Kim ’28, Everett Lambton ’27, Adrian Li ’27, Jack Metcalf ’27, Logan Oh ’27, Maxx Qin ’27, Ted Tian ’28, Alex Wykoff ’28, Lawrence Yang ’28, Max Yoon ’27, Alex Zhang ’29, and Charlie Zhen ’28. 5
EAGLEBROOK SP RTS
Cross Country
JV Water Polo
Cross Country is a demanding sport where students run every day during practice. During races at Eaglebrook, students compete in two courses. The first course, located near the track and turf, takes runners from one end of the football field into the woods, where they run a 3-kilometer trail around the whole area that ends in an allout sprint-off next to the track. Our second course is located at Hilltop Farm, where the Hilltop Ramble’s finish line takes place in the spring. This trail is more open than the other. Cross Country athletes must run two laps around the E-shaped field, which resembles the Eaglebrook logo. This course is newer than the first, as the property was bought only a few years ago. The races are hard, and students do their best to get a new personal record, but some could argue that our daily practices can be as hard as an actual race. A regular Cross Country practice starts with the students meeting on the turf and waiting for everyone to arrive. The coaches provide a brief overview of the day’s activities, such as the course we are running, and then run a lap around the track. We go at a very slow pace, which warms our muscles up and reduces the chance we get hurt due to starting too fast. Then the students start their dynamic stretches, which we do both before and after our workouts. The dynamic stretch consists of walking on their toes and heels, pulling on their legs to stretch out their quads, doing high knees, and stretching out their hamstrings. The stretches after the workout are for keeping the runners’ muscles healthy and helps them to not be sore the next day. We perform these stretches to prevent our bodies from being overworked too quickly, giving our muscles time to warm up before practice and also cool down after a hard run. The team runs to different places depending on what we are working on and what the weather is like that day. The trails vary from the Pine Nook road, the cornfields near Deerfield Academy, and Eaglebrook’s very own forest. We get to experience the natural side of Eaglebrook, giving runners a chance to appreciate the beautiful campus we have. If you are quiet enough, you can hear a bird chirping or a squirrel climbing a tree. The trails we run on for practice depend on what skill the team is trying to work out. If the workout is focused on endurance, the team runs 4-6 miles depending on our level of experience. If the team is focusing on practicing their race pace, we run laps around the track at our own unique pace to make sure that we are ready to keep a steady pace in the race. Each of the individuals in Cross Country runs at different speeds, but we all come to practice with a positive attitude. Each member is not solely judged on the time of their mile or how fast they can sprint a 100-meter dash. They are different people who are working to support each other through the harsh runs. The coach and runners who are on the team this season consist of: Coach Hull, Coach Manto, Coach McClure, Coach Minickiello, Lief Abramson ’28, Leo Cao ’28, Johnny Chen ’27, Eric Choi ’28, Hugh Devine ’27, Joey Fu ’28, Jason Hu ’28, Creek Huang ’29, Aditya Hung ’28, Harrison Kain ’27, Michael Kao ’27, Collin Li ’29, Daniel Liang ’27, Christian Lin ’28, William Lin ’27, Eric Liu ’29, Jasper Mok ’27, Jisung Park ’27, Addie Pieroni ’27, Max Qin ’27, Krishna Reddy ’28, Jaden Song ’28, Toby Teng ’27, Derek Xie ’27, Adam Xu ’28, Darcy Yu ’27, and Kenneth Zheng ’29.
As the school year started and the season went on, the Junior Varsity water polo team held tryouts and had only 8 days of practice before the first game. Even with this limited time, Coach Yarworth, Coach Chatson, and Coach Dickinson did their best in order to lead the team to a win. Most players in the team never played the sport; therefore, the coaches asked us to put more work into defense and to “swim the pool”, which means not to hesitate against big opponents and to chase them during defense in all areas. Recently, we were asked to swim more since swimming is fundamental to the sport, and also to add passing and shooting to everyone’s arsenal. Everyone has been putting maximum effort every day despite the cold weather, and is doing their best in every practice. As we boarded the bus to St. John’s Preparatory School, everybody started talking about our game. Some people talk about techniques for guarding big opponents, and others talk about how to make long passes. In the game, the huge height difference between our team and the opponents made it hard to play. In the first three quarters, we were down 7-0. But even in that situation, our quad still did not have it up to game and played a 4-0 last quarter. Even though we ended up losing, the team is still happy that we nearly won against way better opponents. Even the opponent’s coach praised our toughness and defense in the game. We did lose the game, but we won compared to ourselves. Our roster includes: Nico Aronson ’29, Trevor Bao ’27, Fred Chu ’29, Ezaki Kenshin ’29, Preston Kim ’29, Lincoln Labrie ’29, Jaden Mok ’27, Julian Mok ’29, Leo Park ’30, Caden Park ’27, Andrew Sun ’28, William Wang ’30, Yangyang Xiang ’30, Burton Zheng’ 29, Wesley Zhou ’29, and Daniel Li ’29.Thank you to our coaches, Mr. Russ Yarworth, Mr. David Chatson, and Mrs. Brie Dickinson, for helping us throughout the season.

JV1 Soccer
Kijun Hwang ’28 and Chris Chun ’28
The Junior Varsity 1 soccer team is continuing to thrive despite it being early in the season. The team has been developing its chemistry and fundamentals for a baseground that we can grow off of. Our practices consist of the following: we start off with dynamic stretches to help our body stretch and be ready for training. Then, we start with either a passing, possession, or dribbling drill. This may vary depending on our practice/game yesterday. After our drills are complete, we move onto a scrimmage by splitting teams or a shooting drill. The scrimmage sometimes contains what we have learned earlier in the practice. An example of this is when two wingers are only allowed to be in the far edges and everyone else plays normally. This allows the team to focus more on getting the ball to the sides of the field so that we can use a larger amount of space. JV 1 had a game on September 26 against Cardigan Mountain School. The team drove to Cardigan for a fierce game followed by rain, developing great possession throughout the first half, even scoring a goal. Then, rain started to fall, and as a team that does not have that much experience playing in wet fields, we struggled in the second half. Cardigan made a lot more ball movements towards our side, even getting 8 shots on target that they couldn’t even shoot in the first half. The final score was 4-2. We could have played better but Cardigan’s strategy worked well for the second half. Even though we lost, it was just the first game. The upcoming game is against Keene Middle school at home, and we hope to give it our all and have a great season ahead of us. Our coaches are Mr. Trimbach-Rios, Mr. Colby Runk, and Mr. Michel Pieroni. The roster consists of Ethan Bu ’27, Hyungshik Cho ’27, Reed Dinnen ’27, Sungbin Lim ’27, Javier Lopez Origgi ’27, David Park ’27, Andrew Xu ’27, Andy Baer ’28, Chris Chun ’28, Diego Herrero ’28, Brooks Hinkle ’28, Kijun Hwang ’28, Hugh Kim ’28, Minkyu Ko ’28, Griffin Maves ’28, Joey Mercadante ’28, Clayton Kwader ’29, Patrick Malloy ’29, and Yuto Yajima ’29. 6

Mountain Biking By Edwin Huang ’27
Imagine you are riding along the trail in late autumn and you let the mind wander. Maple leaves furnish and decorate the paved asphalt road in front of you, as if the road was gilded. While chatting to the riders behind you, you discuss whether it’s a good idea to do the jump at the end of the road. It seems that all the concerns and negative moods are pushed aside. Enjoying the breeze and fabulous view, that’s exactly why I am so passionate about mountain biking. The entire Mountain Biking team is divided into three distinct groups, namely A group, B group and C group. They represent riders that are sophisticated and experienced at this sport, riders who are skillful and elegant but intend to refine their skills, and aspiring hands for mountain biking who possess great potential. Coaches refine and cull the trail and training plans reasonably, and each group rides through trails that are suitable for their skill level. There’s a plethora of exciting trails located at Eaglebrook School’s campus, and all of them were constructed and maintained by faculty and student riders. Coaches lead riders to Thunder Mountain Bike Park in Charlemont, Massachusetts every semester, where they can experience more challenging trails to improve their skills but also to gain joy, creating precious memories with their friends. You can always find cooperation, respect and teamwork spirit among the Mountain biking team. Veterans impart techniques and skills to the newcomers, and witness their development throughout the entire season. This season, mountain bikers at Eaglebrook not only devoted themselves to biking, but also put a great amount of energy and enthusiasm into trail building. On September 25th, our riders built a new downhill trail next to the school’s swimming pool. “We did not confirm the name yet, but we do have some great options. “Beagles” is a great one, because this trail was built up by the entire B group riders, and I am impressed by the teamwork spirit and collaboration they’ve shown during the entire process,” said Mr. Pleasant, the head coach for B group Mountain Biking, who led the construction of this new trail. This year’s team consist of Christian Albert ’27, Harry An ’27, Oliver Arcoleo ’29, Spencer Austen ’27, Johnny Baker ’27, Gray Boron ’28, Edwin Huang ’27, Lev Kamysencev ’30, Travis Kelly ’28, Nathan Kim ’28, Carl Lu ’27, Arthur Oudin ’28, Travis Sias ’28, Gerardo Sánchez Barraza ’28, Dean Tanoyo ’27, Elliot Thibodeau ’29, Jacob Van Natta ’29, Ollie West ’27, Miles Williams ’29, and Richard Worley ’29. Our coaches are Mr. Borek ’96, Mr. Landenberger, Ms. Looman, and Mr. Pleasant.
EAGLEBROOK SP RTS
Pickleball
By Kaden Song ’27
Pickleball is a racket sport that students enjoy a lot at Eaglebrook. It consists of 2 or 4 players who use solid rackets to hit a plastic ball over the net and try to score points. In Pickleball, players can only score points when it’s their serve. The goal is to win by scoring 11 points before the opponent does. In practice, when students first arrive, they are usually allowed free play, where they can rally or play games against whoever they like. Warm-ups begin around 10 minutes after training starts, which consist of 2 laps around the tennis courts and a group stretch led by the coaches. Most of the time, players split into groups and do drills or play games based on skill level. For the last 15 to 20 minutes, free play is again an option, and students often challenge coaches to double matches. This year, the team is excited and looks forward to the first competitive game against Valley View School.
The coaches for this year are Ms. Morsman, Mr. Mandell ’00, Ms. Adawiya, Mr. Morganis, and Mr. Lamb. There are 33 players on the team this year, ranging from Third to Sixth Form. The players are Tyce Boudway ’29, Ayden Cai ’28, Port Cameron ’28, Matthias Choi ’28, Joseph Chung ’27, Finn Coffin ’28, Zac Daigle ’28, Jack Domian ’29, Travis Fiore ’28, Martin Gilmore ’27, Ryan Han ’27, Hunter Hawara ’28, Tony Jiang ’29, Alex Jie ’28, Ethan Kim ’29, Lucio Li ’28, Declan Morris ’28, Eric Pan ’30, Lucas Pearman ’27, Chase Quebec ’27, Mason Rose ’30, Jayden Sim ’28, Kaden Song ’27, Cole Systo ’29, Warner Talamo ’28, Thomas Teti ’28, Rex Wang ’28, Fischer Williams ’28, Hoya Yoon ’28, Orange You ’29, Leo Yu ’29, Nate Zakowich ’28, and Steven Zhang ’28.

JV Football
By Jagger Newlin ’28
JV football is a team for football players who are just starting in their football career, or are still inexperienced or young for the Varsity team. Our practice starts with the Varsity football team, when we do our dynamic warm-ups: jogs (1 lap), scoops, lunge and twists, High Knees, T stretch, Frankensteins, open and close the gates, sumos, marios, karaoke, striders, back pedal, and then sprint. After this, my personal favorite part of the warm-up is our one perfect jumping jack. We line up in the dynamic lines and do one jumping jack at the same time. Our goal with these exercises is to get all warmed up and be ready to act as a team. Then, we break into different teams, and JV starts some drills. Depending on the day, we run offensive drills, and on other days, we have defensive drills. For most of the practice, we do drills with other people in the same playing position. On JV, some of us need to learn
how to tackle, which is one of the most important drills we practice. At the end of practice, we usually learn plays or run a small scrimmage. This is important so we can see what we need to work on and practice the skills that we learned. Our first game is on October 10, and we will give it our all. We are preparing very well, thanks to our coaches, Mr. Jiu, Mr. Lee, Mr. Joseph, and Mr. Bell. The JV football’s team roster is: Charlie Barbato ’30, Yeni Borek ’29, Joe Bowers ’29, Connor Forys ’30, Yuentai Guo ’28, Barrett Kicza ’30, Lane Kicza ’30, Aerich Lee ’28, Grady Malone ’30, Owen Martineau ’29, James Menges ’28, Edo Murphy ’29, Jagger Newlin ’28, Anthony Ruggeri ’29, George Stevenson ’28, Ryan Washburn ’30, and Dylan Williams ’29.
JV2 Soccer
By Andersen Chang ’27 and David Yoon ’30
The JV2 soccer team is comprised of diverse people with different strengths and weaknesses. This year, the JV2 soccer team includes Coach Carter Townsend ’88, Coach Miles Harlow, and players Philip Arcoleo ’30, Boston Burton ’30, Sebastian Carter ’28, Andre Chan ’27, Andersen Chang ’27, Christopher Desrosiers ’27, Youjun Lee ’30, Samuel Liu ’29, Conall Menon ’27, Lawson Myers ’29, Henry Pell ’28, Zach Schimmel ’29, Tyson Serpone ’29, Harvey Syers ’27, Leon Tanaka ’28, Peter Ullrich ’28, David Yoon ’30, and Jeffery Zhang ’29. At Eaglebrook, our team practices Monday to Friday from 3:15 to 4:30 pm. Our practices start with a lap, then stretching with the demonstrations from the Sixth Formers, and then we move into some drills to enhance our footwork and passing abilities. After that, we practice teamwork and communication by playing some games such as “Chaser.” This is a drill where everyone spaces out on the center circle and passes three to four balls either clockwise or counterclockwise, until the balls catch up to each other. The
From the Ground Up: The Journey of Thirds Soccer
person responsible for allowing the balls to catch up runs a lap around the field. To conclude the session, we have a mini scrimmage. So far, we have already had three games. We opened the season against Pioneer Valley Chinese Immersion School, where we started the year with a 3-1 win despite only having practiced a few times prior to the game. Our second game was a shootout thriller against Frontier Regional School. After trailing behind 4-1, we were able to make a comeback and score goals, but fell short in the end. Our most recent game was against Cardigan Mountain School, which is always a close and exciting game. Despite poor weather conditions, the game was not canceled. After JV2 conceded a goal in the first half, the team was able to score three quick points right after halftime. That was enough to beat the Cardigan Cougars. The JV2 soccer team hopes to continue the season with determination and a growth mindset.
The Thirds soccer team is full of excitement. Each afternoon as the clock reaches 3:15pm, the students and coaches gather for a productive practice. Made up of Third, Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth formers, you may think the off-field chemistry is mixed, but no, we support each other with kindness and shared interests. In the first few days of the season, the connection between us was not there, but we pushed through, and then it clicked. We all became more compassionate and realized that being a successful team is not about individual glory but about collective triumph and mutual support. What helped our team the most were the real-game scenario drills, because when the game came around, we knew what to do in most situations, leading to goals with high chemistry. Thirds soccer kicked off the season with an amazing game against Four Rivers Charter Schools, the score being 4-1 with goals from Ryland Mehta ’28, Bear Adams ’29, and Austin Yeung ’27. Unfortunately, games against Wilbraham & Munson, and
Hopkins Academy were canceled due to other reasons. A big advantage our team has is that when we make mistakes, we shake it off, stay supportive, and keep playing as if nothing happened. Our amazing coaches have taught us that footwork and staying on your toes are crucial because soccer is centered on speed and fast reaction time. Our coaches have also taught us that conditioning is not a punishment but, in fact, is beneficial in many ways, such as reducing injury risk and increasing stamina, which will help you last longer in games. Our coaches are Ms. Inch, Mr. Budde, and Mr. Ellinwood. The members of Thirds soccer are Bear Adams ’29, Sequoia Borek ’27, Johnny Cabot ’29, Jasper Chen ’28, Hyun Cho ’30, Edward Choi ’30, Brian Dong ’28, Felix Han ’29, Colin Hong ’29, Shelby Jackson ’28, Daniel Jiang ’27, Wayne Liao ’27, Jay Ma ’28, Sean Ma ’28, Ryland Mehta ’28, Wesley Morse ’30, Austin Yeung ’27, Ryan Yuan ’28, Boran Zhang ’28, and Jason Zhong ’28.
Juniors Soccer By Greer Menges ’29
Junior soccer is a development team for young players to improve their soccer skills, responsibility, and leadership, and to have fun. But Juniors soccer isn’t a team without our coaches, Mr. Olmsted and Ms. Sikoski. Our team wouldn’t be here if it weren’t for them. During practice, we start with our coaches leading us in stretching along the sideline. We do all kinds of stretching, such as side shuffles, lunges, high knees, and arm circles. After stretching, we all gather in a huddle. To get partners to do a passing drill, we start with 5-yard passes, which are right-footed and end with our left foot. After the drill, we all stand in a line, and Coach Olmstead and Coach Sikoski assemble teams for our scrimmage. One team wears pinnies, and the other wears their normal uniform during the scrimmage. Our coaches want us to focus on passes, calling names for the ball, communication, and clears.
This group of people matters to this year’s Junior team. The coaches and teammates are supportive, kind, smart, and funny, and they make being on this team such a great experience. I am truly excited to spend the rest of the season with them and make memories. Also, we wouldn’t be a team without our goalies, Sam Pieroni ’30 and Leo Fang ’28. They are hard workers and resilient for what they do for this team. Our 2026 Juniors soccer roster is: Conner Wang ’29, Jero Trevino Gonzalez ’29, Emilio Trevino Gonzalez ’29, Theo Tejavibulya ’29, O.S.’30, Sam Pieroni ’30, Jordan Pang ’28, Jackson Micka ’30, Greer Menges ’29, Milly Li ’29, Kevin Guo ’30, Leo Fang ’28, Sin Kai Alexander Choi ’28, Ashton Chan ’30, Axel Cederholm ’29, and Kiran Alva ’28.
