Leah Grear’s Painting Class (at right) was a Wheeler first — mixed grades taught outside the more selective Studio curriculum. Students were excited for the chance to enroll and work on such skills as color mixing with only two colors and white~ the idea being to mix as many colors as possible with a limited palette.

Giving It 100 Percent
With the leadership of co-chairs Jackie Chan and Kyle Titsworth, the Class of 2013 Senior Gift Committee attained 100% participation for the Annual Fund this year, the fifth consecutive graduating class to do so. The Class voted that their gift be directed to student financial aid, noting that their class grew stronger with each of its members and losing one would have meant a loss to their sense of unity. Not to be outdone by their children, the parents of the Class of 2013 (led by Katherine & Mark Pelson), met their own 100% participation goal. Members of the students committee included Luke Barr, Anna Belkin, Julia Jacobson, Yoo Kim, Isabel Lamb, Richard Lewis, Eldridge Ropolo, Alex Saccone, Taylor Santoro, Michael Schiavone, Anna Stolle, Zidi Wang and Jared Wisen.
