Mother Goose Comes to Campus<br />
Last spring atop the trellis in the Student Commons, a<br />
“mother goose” made a nest and spent four weeks sitting<br />
and watching over her six goose eggs. Students and faculty<br />
galvanized around this event. The Seven Hills grounds crew<br />
built a ramp for the future goslings to safely descend from<br />
their high perch, and Middle School science teachers Matt<br />
Shargel and Megan Kaye ’09 installed a “nest cam” so that<br />
students and teachers could watch the event unfold.<br />

On a Saturday morning after the eggs had hatched, staff<br />
members Linden Van Wert and Katherine Stahl were<br />
onsite to pad the goslings’ jump off of the structure<br />
with gymnastics mats, and witness the family’s inaugural<br />
march to the lake at Heather Farm Park. The month of<br />
the goose made for an exciting time of student learning<br />
as our newest community members hatched their way<br />
into the world!
