BC SENIOR IS ONE OF 5 STUDENTS NATIONALLY TO BE NAMED 2021 RISING SCIENTIST
Congratulations to Zoe P. '22 who is one of only 5 students across the United States to be named a 2021 Rising Scientist by the Child Mind Institute! Selected from 53 outstanding finalists, Zoe was recognized for her work in our Science Research and Design program (SRD) where she has been studying the impact of personality on coping response to COVID-19. She becomes the first BC student ever to win this prestigious award and will receive a $2000 college scholarship.
"Zoe's work on measuring COVID-19's effect on teen coping strategies is timely and provides essential knowledge that can help us better understand how young people process trauma. Her work exemplifies that student researchers are capable of creating knowledge and serving as agents of scientific progress and change," says Dr. Danny Gentile, who oversees our SRD program.
LOWER SCHOOL STUDENTS DISCUSS THE ROLE OF PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY IN BUILDING A RESPECTFUL COMMUNITY
All Lower School students are committing to the year-long goal of focusing on how they want to think, behave and ultimately "be" in their community. What makes them happy and what can they do to make others happy? They also want to help everyone in their community feel excited, calm, safe and respected. Students explore and share their collective thinking in their classes and in division-wide morning assemblies.

He noted how BC allowed him to find himself when he was a 9th grader and expressed gratitude for the powerful friendships he has formed here, especially through his work with the Young Men of Color affinity group.
PRESCHOOLERS START LEARNING LAB SKILLS
