Winterim

We are grateful for the much-improved weather and the opportunity to spread out across the campus, the community, and the region for Winterim. Students are learning new skills from auto repair to personal finance. Exploring the Cumberland Plateau in person and Colombia virtually. Building literal bridges on our trails and figurative bridges in our community through service projects. We will be uploading photos from our activities throughout the week.

Announcing Cumberland Honors

This fall, ninth and tenth-graders will have the opportunity to express their intention to pursue graduation with distinction through the Cumberland Scholars program which encourages students to take full advantage of the school's place-based and outdoor education offerings. The road to distinction will include academic study, experiential learning, technical skill demonstrations, service requirements, and leadership opportunities. The crowning achievement will be a public presentation of a senior capstone research project focused on place-based or outdoor education. Read more.

Quarter 3 Ends Friday

Quarter 3 ends on Friday. Students have been encouraged, cajoled, and prodded to get in any outstanding work before 2:30 p.m. on Friday. The Writing Center will be open on Thursday afternoon to provide help to any students working on outstanding writing assignments.

Community Service Opportunities

Service Coordinator Rachel Malde is sponsoring a series of afterschool community service opportunities for our students. In addition to helping our neighbors and friends, students will earn two hours towards their service requirement at each event. This year's service requirement is 10 hours. View the Community Service Opportunity calendar. Students performing independent service projects may report their hours here.

Interact Book Drive Ends Friday

The Interact Club is collecting gently used and new children's and YA books. Drop-off boxes are located in the front hall of the Simmonds building and will be there through Winterim. They are also accepting cash donations to purchase books. Questions? Contact Kathleen Perkins '22 or Libby Neubauer '23.

Thank You!

Mother Short Returns

And we welcome Gabriel Perkins-Lawrence

Following Spring Break, Mother Short will return from parental leave to resume her Chapel, classroom, and pastoral duties. She will be joined by Gabriel Perkins-Lawrence, a second-year seminarian at Sewanee's School of Theology. Originally from middle Tennessee, Gabriel moved to Sewanee for seminary from Albany in the Diocese of Georgia. Gabriel's husband Casey is also enrolled at the seminary working on a Master of Arts in Religion. He formerly worked in music, community organizing, and dabbling in stage direction.
