Soi Chong Powell, science teacher and robotics coach at Evansville Day School, has been selected as a 2016 International STEM Fellow. She will be traveling to Hangzhou, China in October with eleven other Indiana STEM Fellows who were selected last spring.

Parent/Teacher Conferences
Upper School parents should watch for a letter from their child's advisor requesting to set up a Parent/Teacher conference for the 27th and 28th of October. Please sign up a time when your child can accompany you as they are required to attend. Reminder that the 28th is a day off from school. But students will still be expected to be in attendance for your meeting. 


Future Healthcare Professionals Club
Gianna Meckler (10th Grade) is the leader of the Future Healthcare Professionals Club. She and her peers meet regularly to listen to healthcare speakers, shadow in the field, take fieldtrips, and volunteer. Their first speaker this year was Susan Ellsperman, a med student at IU. She spoke to the club about how to get into med school, an overview of how it works, and what is expected. She was very inspiring to our students.

Our students may have the day off, but our faculty are hard at work today! Jay Roberts was back with us to continue our work on experiential education, this time with a focus on "facilitation." The bulk of the morning revolved around how we can work with students to ensure high-impact learning and retention. Jay used several interactive activities to illustrate key points to get us moving around and using our problem-solving skills!
