A banner requesting that all students sign the anti-racism Open Letter hangs at Top O. The Open Letter, written by the SJC, addresses racism within the school community. It was released to High School students via email Oct. 25. Willa Blair (’23) read the entirety of the Open Letter and said it emphasized various shortcomings of the community that many may not be aware of while also listing tangible solutions to the ongoing issues. “They brought up things that are unspoken in the ASL community,” she said. “They also didn’t just list the problems that the school has, but they provided specific solutions that are actually possible and attainable.” • Reporting by Grace Hamilton and photos by Maddy Whitman

A fallen tree narrowly misses the Anne Frank memor

A fallen tree narrowly misses the Anne Frank memorial tree in 47 Grove End Road’s garden, which just opened for class use, due to harsh winds Sept. 25. After the ASL gardeners and head of security worked to clear the debris, it was confirmed that no harm was done to the property. In response, one of the gardeners Ian Robinson said “we’ll probably check the other tree next to it, just to make sure that it is okay. And they might trim it down, cut some of the branches down just to be on the safe side.” Robinson also said that if the other tree in the garden was to fall, it would cause more damage. • Photos and reporting by Eden Leavey
