❤️ Wildcats supporting Wildcats. This week, ou ❤️ Wildcats supporting Wildcats. This week, our Lower School buddies came together to decorate Valentine’s boxes and strengthen their cross-grade relationships. This looked like a simple craft project, but it actually fostered meaningful discussions on empathy, caring for others, and social-emotional growth. Seeing our older students mentor their younger peers is a beautiful reminder of the powerful Wildcat community connection!🐾

🐝 S-U-C-C-E-S-S! Huge congratulations to Jedi C 🐝 S-U-C-C-E-S-S! Huge congratulations to Jedi C. (Gr. 7) for advancing to the 2026 New York City Spelling Bee Finals!
After navigating a rigorous regional qualifier, Jedi is moving on to represent our community at the city-wide championship on March 11 for the chance to go to D.C. for the Scripps National Spelling Bee. Competing against the top spellers from all five boroughs is a massive feat, and Jedi is already hard at work preparing.
His dedication is truly "on brand"—he was even spotted studying his Scripps spelling manual at @spellingbeenyc Off-Broadway! We’re looking forward to seeing what he can go on to accomplish. Join us in the comments in cheering him on as he prepares for the big stage!

Tonight, the Olympics have their opening ceremonie Tonight, the Olympics have their opening ceremonies, and our Lower School Drama Club has Opening Night. 🐾

From the incredible set designers and fine-tuned tech crew to the captivating actors on stage, it has been a masterclass in teamwork and commitment. The show has it all: a deliciously scheming Cruella de Vil, a moving getaway car for the henchmen, the most creatively costumed dog breed narrators, and, of course, a bunch of spotted, spunky, and adorable Dalmatian puppies.

Congratulations to the entire cast and crew—break a leg! 🎭✨
