Earlier this month Winsor debaters Emily Zhang ’25 and Theo Zarrow ’26 traveled to Kuala Lumpur, placing 2nd and 9th respectively at the World Individual Debating and Public Speaking Championships. It is rare to have a student in the top 10, but it is exceptionally rare to have two students from the same school both earn that recognition!

Loud science! It was “liquid nitrogen day” in Mr. Brooks Hedstrom’s physics class where a few loud bangs were heard in the Science Department hallway and even in the Winsor courtyard. The class made Dippin’ Dots-style ice cream and flash frozen graham crackers while exploring the thermal expansion and contraction of gasses and metals, superconductivity and magnetic expulsion, the influence of temperature on brittleness, and the creation of fog. They used liquid nitrogen to harvest a little liquid oxygen, and demonstrated its influence on combustion.

The Upper School Winsor Dance team then moved the crowd by performing emotional pieces choreographed by students and Ms. Ciaraldi!
