Alumni
Welcome back!
We hope you'll return to Renbrook soon to see what’s new, catch up with your favorite teachers, attend an event, or just to stop by to say “Hello.”
There are so many ways--both formal and informal--that alumni may participate in the life of the school. If you'd like to reconnect with Renbrook, consider volunteering on your reunion planning committee or as a reunion giving chair. Regardless of how involved you want or are able to be, please stay in touch! We'd love to keep you "in the know" about Renbrook’s goals and accomplishments, and we really want to hear your ideas, interests, and concerns. The strength of Renbrook depends on your involvement.

The salmon have successfully been launched into the Farmington River! After months of monitoring the salmon eggs as they matured to the alevin stage (the second stage of life), today, fifth-grade science students along with their buddies traveled to Peoples Forest to release them into the river. Safe travels!

Throughout the school year, first-grade students studied communities. Lessons and activities were guided by the essential questions: What is a community? What are the different types of communities? What do all communities need? How are decisions made in a community? Why do people work? How do we get what we need or want? What makes a good citizen? Why do we need rules? How can citizens work together to solve problems and to keep a community safe? All year, their study of communities has been tied back to the fact that they are members of a community of learners in their class, their lower school division, the entire Renbrook School, and the towns they live in. First-grade students learned about the various jobs and careers of community helpers and brought their learning to life as they participated in hands-on simulations of those jobs and "worked" in Mt. Renbrook, a town created and named by them.

Students in eighth-grade Chemistry class have started studying DNA and Protein Synthesis. They have learned that the shape of DNA is a double helix, a twisted ladder, and they have identified the base pairs that match each other (A & T, C & G) and learned how to create complementary DNA strands. They then put this information together to create edible DNA! They used Twizzlers as the phosphate backbone and Sour Patch Kids as the base pairs. Sweet!🧬

Bejan Shirvani `91 stopped by campus for a quick visit with his family and caught up with his former classmate Lincoln Vaughn ’91 and former teacher Howard Wright, who are both current science teachers at Renbrook. Bejan marveled at the beautiful quad and shared stories about getting to P.E. from buildings that weren’t connected (he had to walk outside!) with his family and Allie Young, Director of Development Operations and Individual Giving. We are so happy you visited, Bejan! #wearerenbrook #renbrookalumni

The New England Air Museum never disappoints! Students went on a guided tour of the museum to learn about the features of various airplanes. Then, students participated in a STEM hands-on activity, learning about the forces involved with flight while making their own gliders. Lastly, students had the chance to explore the other areas of the museum, which included sitting in the cockpit of various planes, playing with flight simulators, and watching a short film about women in flight. It was a fun, adventurous day, a perfect precursor to Renbrook`s Flight Day!✈️
