Our debaters had some great rounds last weekend at the National Season Opener at the University of Kentucky.
Nicholas Clancy '20 and Mayowa Kassim '21 just missed the elimination bracket after wins over Mamaroneck High School of New York, Wylie E. Groves High School of Michigan, and Cambridge High School of Georgia. Their losses came to Chattahoochee High School of Georgia, a team from defending national champion North Broward Prep of Florida, and a strong team from Taipei, Taiwan.
Christopher Cheek '21 and Luke Kim '23 also finished 3-3, while Morayo Kassim '21 and Laura Harris '22, and Wiley Barzelay '21 and Lucas Heckers '21 both finished with 2-4 records.

Mother Nature is not cooperating for our annual Popsicle Party. Depending on which weather app you use, actual and feels-like temperatures are 98 to 101 and higher. Under these conditions, we would limit student activities, so, in the interest of everyone's health and well-being, we are going to cancell our gathering at the River Campus. There is just not enough shade and certainly no air conditioning to bring relief to hundreds of USN families. Thank you for understanding. We look forward to seeing you in a few days for the start of our new school year.
