Rock Thornton '24This week our "Moment of Genius" award goes to Rock Thornton '24, for sharing his insight in Ms. Saltveit's Physics class. Rock demonstrated a moment of genius when he related his own experience as a pilot-in-training as the class discussed velocity in Physics. He discussed the concept of "breaking the sound barrier" and gave an excellent technical description of the event using concepts they are currently studying in class. Well done, Rock, and good luck on getting your solo pilot's license! |
Leslie Crocker '25Today's "Moment of Genius" recipient is Sophomore Leslie Crocker who Ms. Heater said had a remarkable entry in her Creative Writing journal. She was writing a free-association entry on 'Morning' and wrote: "It is a sign of a new day that has already forgotten the one before. It is the opposite of the past for we are already in the future. Night is the earth breathing; morning is a fresh start." Ms. Heater was very moved by her poetic language and thought. There's a universality to her writing and a willingness to 'think-outside-the-prompt' that has the potential to speak to everyone who reads her words. |
