IF YOU WERE GIVEN A ONE-MINUTE AD SLOT DURING THE SUPER BOWL, WHAT WOULD YOU FILL IT WITH?

3WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE WAY TO KILL TIME?

4WHAT FLAVOR OF ICE CREAM DO YOU WISH EXISTED?

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE SCENT?

The one that comes to mind now is a senior prank in 2009. A-board proposed a fake warrant: to require a dress code in CSW. When the discussion opened, seniors very thoughtfully and seriously gave reasons why it was an excellent idea. I remember phrases like “leggings are not pants” and “I have better things to do than looking at your belly button.” It was awesome how younger students tried to stand up to seniors.

In my first year coaching, the Ultimate Frisbee A team defeated Newton North in a very close game at home. That was awesome!

My passion is well-being. Probably would talk about essential oils and how much you can do for your own well-being and well-being of your family and community if you study it. Watch the video at 4ocean.com/. It's a little over two minutes, so I'd have to pay extra, but I think that saving the planet is well worth it! A memorable moment from my time at CSW was Empty Bowls. Being a head last year, I worked long and hard on this event with two co-chairs for one mod while leading a group of students. It was incredibly rewarding to see this event play out after all of our hard work. We had a lot of fun enjoying the evening, and raised a lot of money for Bristol Lodge Soup Kitchen!

At the end of the year during Illuminarium, my friends and I were really bored in the beginning, but then we found a bunch of water guns and basically had a huge water gun fight while slapping each other with whipped cream and it went on for a good hour or two. I’m sure the people around who weren’t participating were really annoyed, but we didn’t really care because we managed to make our own fun and ended up all sticky and gross, but it was worth it.

I would fill this ad slot with a mini reality TV segment about my family. My mom and I always talk about having a reality show following my family because of how funny our daily interactions are. I always had this desire to film my own life documentary or create a show or something but I have absolutely no skill in videography or editing, so once I figure that out it would be a promotional ad for that said documentary or show.

Kill time?! I would never kill time! You can be charged for murder! Remember what happened to Mad Hatter in Alice in Wonderland? Speaking of Alice. I love games and puzzles.

Good question. I don’t like ice cream that much. Perhaps mojito? During the summer, I spend hours and hours reading outside and I love to go hiking and camping. If I'm doing something outside during my free time then I'm happy!

Kind of like Neapolitan ice cream, but instead of vanilla, strawberry, and chocolate the three flavors would be mango, banana, and vanilla.

That would be definitely Wild Orange essential oil by Doterra. Super fresh and sweet and can uplift your mood and energy level in a second. Roses and the smell of freshly-mown grass. My favorite way to kill time is by baking. I am a terrible cook and can never bake anything edible, but something about the process of baking is just a lot of fun. If I’m feeling lazy, I’ll stay in the dorm and clean my room and watch Netflix. If I'm feeling more adventurous, I’ll go somewhere new with a friend.

I definitely wish there was an apple cider donut ice cream flavor!

My favorite scent is everything fall! I love the smell of cinnamon, chai tea, fresh apple cider donuts, and everything fall-related. I’m not a huge ice-cream consumer because I’m low-key lactose intolerant, but it would be cookies and cream fused with caramel and strawberry wafer bits with tiny chunks of marshmallow. I’d name it Meteorite, because of how chunky it would be.

My favorite scents that I wear would be “Snowflakes and Cashmere” from Bath and Body Works. Lavender and vanilla are my favorite essential oils and flower scents. I also like the smell of Japanese cherry blossoms.

DEEPLY ENGAGED IN THE ART OF TEACHING

Progressive education demands a different sort of student-teacher partnership—one of shared inquiry and mutual respect. It requires that faculty be deeply engaged in the art of teaching, passionate about their subject matter, and fully invested in the work of inspiring bold learners and creative thinkers.

Our faculty are all that...and more. They set high expectations for themselves, their colleagues, and their students, never settling for “good enough.” They create a dynamic environment that encourages determined, curious young people to challenge conventional thinking. They take the time to get to know students as learners and individuals.

We encourage you to take a moment and think about the faculty members you have met since joining the CSW community. And we invite you to join other committed and forward-thinking donors and generous parents in making a gift to Partners in Progress today. Together, we can ensure that CSW has the resources to invest in our faculty, as those extraordinary educators invest in our students and our community.

Thank you for your support.
