THE BVR STUDENT
Lesleigh Robin ’30 presented: Acts with honesty, integrity, and sincerity.
I think acting with honesty is important because it means you are intentional with everything you do. It is important to be honest in all spaces, including at home and school because it helps you build trust with people.

ANNOUNCEMENTS
Vivian Mandelman ’26 is completing an SDP (Student Directed Project) in Upper School with a focus on how early exposure to screens is impacting adolescent development and health. Vivian will be surveying middle school students as part of her research.
Kylee Hill ’25 announced the AAPI Lunar New Year Potluck event. All students who identify as AAPI are invited to share food, fun, and community at the event on Wednesday, January 29 during lunch and recess. Students are encouraged to bring food to share at the event.
Students were reminded to leave phones at the front desk when they have early pick-up. This helps keep early dismissals on schedule. Students were also reminded to use their assigned phone pocket to ensure their devices are properly accounted for.
