Fall sports are officially underway at Renbrook! 🏑

The Renbrook Field Hockey team kicked off the season yesterday, taking to the turf under beautiful blue September skies for a matchup with West Hartford.

There’s nothing quite like the energy of the first game of the season, teammates back together, fans on the sidelines, and another fall of Renbrook athletics underway.

We’re excited to cheer on our Hawks throughout the season. Go Renbrook!

Keeping the ball rolling and learning names along the way! Our entire Upper School headed to Williams Field Friday afternoon for some community-building fun! Students in grades 5–8 and their teachers teamed up in 16 mixed-grade groups for a name game with a challenge: call out names, pass the ball, and keep the pattern going as more balls joined the mix!
There were plenty of “What’s your name?” moments and even some spontaneous duck-duck-goose for groups that finished early! #Renbrook #Renbrookcommunity #upperschool

A different kind of tablet is coming to Latin class! ✍️
Our sixth- and eighth-grade Latin students will bring ancient history to life in a hands-on “lab,” creating their own wax tablets inspired by those used by Roman schoolchildren. They’ll learn Roman-style lettering and practice writing on their handmade tablets.
Connecting language, history, and creativity!

Earlier this week, we were excited to welcome families to our annual parent reception to kick off the school year, with a little friendly “rock, paper, scissors” to get the party started!
It was a wonderful opportunity to connect with Head of School Matt Sigrist, faculty, staff, administrators, and Parent Association members, meet fellow parents, and explore ways to support our students and school community.
Thank you to everyone who joined us! Our community is stronger because of you, and we’re looking forward to a wonderful year together.

The Hawks hit the ground running at the annual Rhino Run cross-country invitational at Taft! We’re proud of our runners for bringing their energy, determination, and Hawk spirit to the course. Way to go, Hawks!

One of the favorite traditions in 8H Honors Algebra 2 is the annual Barbie Bungee Project, a hands-on activity that challenges students to apply mathematics to a real-world problem. Working in teams, students investigate the relationship between the number of rubber bands and the distance Barbie falls, collecting and analyzing data to develop mathematical models.
Using lines of best fit and regression equations, students predict how many rubber bands Barbie needs to come as close to the ground as possible without touching it. This year, students tested their calculations from four locations around campus: the Courtyard Stairs, the Globe Foyer, the Barnes Gym balcony, and the Nozko Gym balcony overlooking Williams Field.
The project gives the students a chance to collaborate, think critically, and see how algebra can be used to make accurate predictions.
Barbie took some tumbles, but was a trouper throughout! Well done, everyone!👏
