A trio of alumnae from the Class of 2015 returned to campus today for our Upper School’s annual Career Day to speak about their differing journeys in the medical field. 👩⚕️🩺🏥
The speakers were Kathleen Conway ’15, a registered neonatal nurse in the neonatal intensive care unit at Tufts Medical Center, Boston; Margaret Magovern ’15, a third-year medical student at New York Medical College, and Danielle Williams ’15, a first-year physician assistant student at Rutgers University.
They answered student questions about their specific fields, education, favorite aspects of their career, level of math and science needed to pursue a medical career, and more!
Several Lower School classes enjoyed Lunar New Year celebrations this week! 🐇🐇🐇
Kindergarten moms, Mrs. Deng and Mrs. Wang, taught students about the history and customs of the annual celebration while helping them craft a Chinese symbol and giving them special treats.
Later in the week, other students enjoyed a celebration that featured an orange - a symbol of luck and happiness in China. They also colored a dragon and showed off their dragon masks!
Oak Knoll's paddle club enjoyed a fun-filled evening with their counterparts from @DelbartonSchool at Canoe Brook Country Club! 🎾🎾🎾
Enjoy these wonderful photos of the Choral Music Room by Vittoria G. '27! 📸📸📸
Her photos were part of Ms. Rosen’s eighth-grade class project in which photographers were tasked with capturing some of their favorite Oak Knoll locales.
Check out some photos of the Campion Center by Katie C. '27 that we shared earlier this week!
Mr. Yuhas' physics students experimented with weights, pulleys, and a dynamic cart to reinforce what they have learned about Sir Isaac Newton’s second law of motion.
Oak Knoll's science curriculum enables students to develop a deep understanding of the natural world through empirical inquiry and to recognize the importance of these fields in an age increasingly governed by science and technology.
We’re so proud to see a group of our Upper School students leading a special class at The Bar Method in Madison next month to benefit @llsnewjersey by raising awareness and money for blood cancer research.

@baileyparnell, the founder of @SafeSocialMedia.co and CEO of SkillsCamp, discussed the impacts of social media on mental health and how students can practice #SafeSocial.
The talk came after sophomore Zoe H. ’25, connected with Parnell through social media and advocated for her to come to campus to discuss the ever-important topic with our Upper School.
Fourth graders visited a virtual zoo of their own making in a cross-curricular project that allowed them to craft computer-generated ecosystems through the CoSpaces platform. Students also shared positive feedback on each other’s creations through the ‘Glow Zone.’ 🐰🐹🦊🐼
The virtual project was called the “Sense-Sational Zoo” because animals were sorted by their featured sense and the project itself was the culmination of their work studying sense receptors and the brain’s processing of external information.
