New Body-Positive Student Group Focuses on Building Confidence and Community
鈥淵ou get nothing out of being cruel to yourself, and you gain everything by being kind,鈥 Ginny Barrett (II) says. 鈥淚t鈥檚 a really hard lesson to learn, but once you鈥檙e there, it can be transformative. It starts as simply as looking in the mirror and saying, 鈥業 look good today.鈥欌
This is the message that Ginny and Laura Bailey (I) hope members take away from the student club, Body+, which they cofounded this year: Self-confidence comes from accepting and loving the person you are today. The girls are not just close friends; they鈥檙e cousins, and from this lifelong bond they鈥檝e guided each other through the various insecurities that arise in adolescence.
Busking Benefit: Chamber Orchestra Raising Money For Adaptive Music In Boston
On Friday evening, the 91探花 chamber orchestra will join the roster of musicians and other performers who fill Boston鈥檚 Faneuil Hall Marketplace with sound and entertainment, and it鈥檚 all for a good cause.
The students are performing to raise money to buy musical instruments and equipment for students at Boston鈥檚 Dr. William Henderson Inclusion School, including mallets and iPads that will help students of all abilities produce musical sounds. The event is one piece of a partnership that 91探花 music department chair Adrian Anantawan hopes will expand opportunities for disabled and typically developing student musicians to make art together.
Winter Concerts Will Usher in the Festive Spirit of the Season
A long-standing tradition this time each year, 91探花鈥檚 winter music concerts prove to be welcomed gifts on these chilly, short December days. Orchestras and vocal groups have been busy in Kellner these past weeks preparing for the Winter Vocal Concert on Friday, December 7, and the Winter Orchestra Concert on Sunday, December 9, in King Theatre.
Heyburn Speaker Connects Colonial Laws With Modern Inequality
The legal distinction of whiteness as a race did not exist anywhere in the world until 1681, when colonial American lawmakers sought to outlaw marriages between European people and others, sociologist Jacqueline Battalora told Upper School students.
This was, essentially, 鈥渢he invention of white people,鈥 said Dr. Battalora, who visited 91探花 as the Henry R. Heyburn guest lecturer.
Previously, people were grouped by their nation of origin, Dr. Battalora explained. But once anti-miscegenation laws preventing marriage between white people and nonwhite people were established further, legal segregation drove division among racial groups, creating an atmosphere and legacy of racism and discrimination the effects of which still resonate today.
