ALYSSA NEWMAN ’15 HONORED WITH KRISSOFF AWARD Alyssa Newman ’15 is this year’s recipient of the Nathan Krissoff Award, one of the most revered awards given by the school. “Alyssa’s intensity reminded us of Nathan Krissoff. Alyssa views her education as training for an energetic, useful life. She has taken an inventory of her skills and looks for places where — even as a high school student — she can in some way improve the lives of others,” said Dale Hinckley, history faculty, who presented the award during assembly. The Krissoff Award is named in honor of Stevenson graduate Nathan Krissoff ’99, who was killed in combat in Iraq in 2006.
Kindness Box
Girls Golf Team Captures League Title This fall, our girls varsity golf team won the Monterey Bay League (MBL) championship. The tournament was held at Rancho Canada Golf Club. Members of the team include Savannah Thompson ’18, Antonia Malate ’18, Cece Rivera ’16, Coach Jason Gilbert ’04,
Sofia Shalar ’17, Emily Min ’15, and Rebecca Chu ’15. Stevenson’s combined team score of 495 dominated the field of 14 teams and topped second place Santa Catalina, which carded a 524.
Implementing the Carmel Campus’s theme of kindness, students, faculty, parents, and staff have been documenting moments when they have “caught someone being kind.” They write down what they experienced firsthand or witnessed, then place the card in the Kindness Box. Randomly throughout the year, these moments of kindness are shared with the larger Stevenson community.
