On November 19, the OES girls' varsity soccer team met up with Catlin Gabel at the state championship and came home with the trophy. The girls won 3-0 in an exciting game on a cold but beautiful day. It was the third time in the history of the school that the girls' team has won the championship, adding to victories in 1993 and 2005. See photos of the game by John Holloran and Kevin Murphy '11 and photos of the crowd and celebration by Tom Berridge. Also, see a video by John Waskey '98 of highlights from the exciting game. |

Grandparents and Special Friends
Get a Taste of
OES Education
On the day before Thanksgiving break, grandparents and special friends joined students in Lower and Middle School classrooms to see what they do at school. The visitors also were treated to breakfast and music by student singing groups. As grandparents drew pictures, glued paper, and helped with writing assignments, they seemed happy to be back in the classroom. See more photos. |

4th-Graders Study
the Traditions of
the First People
Fourth-graders presented a colorful yet solemn re-enactment of a potlatch on the Tuesday before Thanksgiving. They made costumes based on designs of coastal people who lived in the Northwest, and they created and told stories reminiscent of those that were told at traditional potlatches. The event culminated their study of pre-European cultures in the Northwest. See more photos. |

DANGER!
Watch Out for Bombs, Mines, and Flying Chickens
Students in Steve Decker's Engineering Design class will need to work as teams on projects, so they did some exercises in team building. Experiential Education Coordinator Tom Handel set up the exercises, including the one above where students set up an apparatus to lift and move a "bomb" while staying a distance away from it. At left, one student learns to give precise instructions by verbally guiding another student to avoid "mines" while stepping on the cones. At right, students work together to set up a tower with a rubber chick on top. |

Fourth-Grader Earns Junior Black Belt
Ryan M. '20 received his first degree junior black belt in Taekwondo on November 19. The black belt testing started with a two-mile run and followed with a full day of endurance testing, techniques, sparring, forms, and board breaking. Ryan started at World Champion Taekwondo when he was only 6 years old and has worked extremely hard to reach this level of achievement. In the photo, he is with his instructor, Master Je Kim, 1992 Olympic Gold Medalist. |
