During their senior year, Upper Schoolers from the Class of 2026 worked on “sustained investigations” into their artistic practices. In addition to creating a portfolio of themed work, each student wrote an artist’s statement to pair with their pieces.

💬 From Upper School art teacher Catherine Dunn: “They are all artists by choice. They’ve made the decision to pursue art in their lives for all kinds of reasons, each one personal and unique. Some are going on to study in college. Every one of them found something deep and lasting and meaningful in their pursuit, something that will never go away and will become a part of them forever. This group is outstanding in their commitment to the search.”

What’s cooking at Sidwell? Depending on the day, favorite dishes might include Peruvian chicken with green sauce, vegan mushroom stroganoff, tortilla soup, ramen bar, arugula and fennel salad, homemade yogurt and granola, or, well, the list goes on. Director of Dining Services Alex Levin ensures that two hungry campuses are fed, and occasionally drops a sweet surprise into the mix. 🍽️

“The partnership between Meriwether-Godsey and Sidwell is fantastic,” Levin says. “Here, I get to combine food, hospitality, operations, business, education, and—most of all—the importance and joy of community. At the end of the day, our work is about people and making them happy.”

Together, we ensure that the sense of wonder students feel today becomes the courage, wisdom, and imagination they need to let their lives speak. Join in and make a gift or pledge today ➡️ Link in bio. by @sidwellfriends
