One of our favorite fall traditions is (almost) back with the annual Faculty vs Students Kickball Game! ๐Ÿ‘Ÿ๐Ÿ’ฅ

This year we are leveling up... SPOILER ALERT custom jerseys are on their way!

The big question is can the students finally pull off a victory for the first time in 5 years or will the faculty keep their streak alive? ๐Ÿ†

Watch for a quick look back at some of our favorite moments from past games and a sneak peak at the end. ๐Ÿ˜‰

Marvelwood connections really do last a lifetimeโ€ฆ

Head of School, Blythe Everett P'14, '16, has called Marvelwood home since 1990, and her husband Mike spent nearly as many years as part of the faculty. Their daughter, Maggie โ€™16, grew up in the Marvelwood community, became an alumna, and later returned as a faculty member. And in a true Marvelwood love story, Maggie met her fiancรฉ, Sonny Capaccio, at Marvelwood, where he also served on the faculty.

This summer, the four reunited in southern Maine to explore the beaches and lakes, enjoy some delicious seafood, and celebrate Blythe and Mikeโ€™s 36th anniversary. These photos were taken at beautiful Sebago Lake.

One school. One family. Generations of connection. ๐Ÿ’™

Special Summer Memories in the Dominican Republic! ๐Ÿ‡ฉ๐Ÿ‡ด

This summer, incoming student Erick S. '30 and his family took a very special trip back to the Dominican Republic. It was Erickโ€™s first time returning to his home country in over 10 years!

Together they explored the country through local tourism, visiting some of the Dominican Republic's most beautiful beaches and hotels while creating unforgettable family memories.

It was also baby sister Darah's very first international trip! Seeing the DR through both Erick's eyes as he reconnected with his roots and Darahโ€™s eyes for the first time made this a trip the family will treasure forever. โ˜€๏ธ๐Ÿ๏ธ๐Ÿ’– We can't wait to welcome them to campus next month!!

๐Ÿ“ธ In the photos: Erick, his dad Madenis, his mom Perla, and baby Darah!

The time has come for Columbia University PhD student Lyss and their technician Elizabeth to depart our mountain campus. It has been a pleasure hosting the team and witnessing their research on Purple Martins in Connecticut.

We have learned so muchโ€ฆ from egg transplants and painting toenails to taking f***l sac samples and deploying tracking tags! They even found time to visit with students and help Marvelwood band nestlings as part of our natal dispersal project!

Reminiscent of the Beach Boys' song โ€œI Get Around,โ€ letโ€™s play โ€œWhere's My Purple Martin!โ€

Researchers from Columbia University's Delmore Lab spent the summer fitting special tags on adults and nestlings to monitor their movements for various research projects.

These tags transmit location data whenever they are near someone with a Bluetooth device. This technology allows scientists to pinpoint a tagged birdโ€™s location just by logging into a computer portal!

Enjoy the travel logs of some of Marvelwood and Kent Land Trust's research martins!
