Welcome back to the Fall Issue of the St.Marker!
In this issue, the articles written by our amazing student staff covered the major happenings of the past fall.
Kicking off with the arts, Karry Kim ‘25 interviewed our new music director, Mr. Fontes, and Hannah Cha ‘25 covered the fall play “Geeks.” In addition, Jasmine Liu ‘25 described the longstanding tradition of Evening Chapel and past services.
The school community also welcomed many faces during Family Weekend and Trustee visits, covered by Jackie Huang ‘24 and Andrea Xu ‘25 respectively. Rachel Ding ‘26 also interviewed students returning from a School Year Abroad (SYA).
The first Gray Colloquium of the year sparked meaningful discussions about technology usage and time. Vanessa Leung ‘25 interviewed the young speaker Dino Ambrosi and Anouk Shin ‘26 provided insight on the positive reactions and impacts of his talk, one of them being the recent introduction of “No Phone Day” at St.Marks covered by Jimmy Liu ‘24.
The much anticipated Groton rivalry in the fall consisted of Spirit Week, Groton Night and Games documented through vlogs filmed by Chloe Kim ‘26, Catherine Zhang ‘26 and an article by Annabel Zaterka ‘26.
As we move towards the end of the first semester, the St.Marks community is excited to welcome snow, winter, and the holiday season.
Best,
Jackie Huang ‘24 and Jonathan Hernández ‘24
