Meet Your New Lower School Leaders!

Please join us in congratulating Else R., our new Lower School President, and Ben D., our new Vice President!

Their classmates elected Else and Ben to represent the Lower School for the 2026–2027 school year. Over the year, they’ll help plan events, share their classmates’ ideas, and set a positive tone for the whole division. Their peers chose them for the example they already set and for their readiness to take on responsibility. We can’t wait to see what they accomplish.

For every student who ran, the election took real effort. They prepared, took the process seriously, and stood before their peers to ask for their support. That takes confidence, and every candidate showed courage and dedication.

Some of our proudest moments had nothing to do with who won. Students cheered each other on and comforted friends who were disappointed. Some handled their own disappointment with grace. Nobody had to prompt them to support one another, and that’s a lesson we hope every student carries forward. It was civic engagement at its best: take part, listen, respect the outcome, and keep showing up for one another.

Congratulations to Else and Ben, and a big round of applause for everyone who ran! Thank you to our families for encouraging our students every step of the way. Here’s to a great year of growth, collaboration, and school spirit!
