The Lausanne Cross Country team participated in the Twilight Cross Country Classic on Saturday at the Mike Rose Soccer Complex.

“The team did a great job following the race plans to start out conservatively and then work on passing over the second two miles,” head coach Heather Marshalek said.

Lincoln Hayes ’23 was the leader for the boys’ team and Annabella Tian ’22 was the top finisher for the girls’ team.

The team’s next meet is the Tennessee Classic Cross Country meet on September 18.

Lausanne's PYP Music instruction starts in Early Childhood with explorative concepts that focus on introductions such as pitch matching, pulse and simple movement. As students continue through their Lower School education, they experience a higher level of difficulty and gain a deeper understanding of the elements of music, including melody, harmony, rhythm, timbre and form.

As a true reflection of their learning and love of music, our Early Childhood and Lower School Lynx put on concerts throughout the year to share their skills with the Lausanne community. The students demonstrate their musical growth through these performances and creatively express their understanding of musical elements using their instruments, voices and movement.

There are two major Lower School music performances each year, Grandparents & Friends Day and Lausannia (PK – fourth grades). The students also participate in special events such as Artsfest-Sportsfest and Artists at Play, Night of Broadway, Conservatory Recitals, Lower School Musical.

"Our concerts have included American folksongs, world music from nearly every continent, student-created puppet movies in conjunction with Lower School visual arts class and popular music covering Rock & Roll, Rhythm & Blues, Country, Calypso and Folk," said Lower School Music teacher Tara West. "There are no shortages of opportunities for PK2 through 4th-grade children to shine musically."

Lausanne Alumnus Thanks Former Design Teacher For Class Structure That Prepared Him For College

It's been a little over three years since Zephyr Barlow '18 was a student in Upper School teacher Jonathan Auger's design technology class, but the skills he developed in the course still benefit him today.

"My college senior design class met for the first time last week and I found it to be alarmingly similar to the design technology class I took with Mr. Auger back in high school," said Zephyr. "The idea that the next step beyond his class would be a college level senior engineering class never crossed my mind."

During a recent advisory, a group of fifth-graders reflected on some of the challenges they faced last year that made it difficult to connect with others. They also shared how appreciative they are for the campus community they interact with more as we resume some of our daily routines.

"We are super happy that we get to eat lunch in the dining hall this year, but being away for a year made us realize not everyone knows the names of the awesome people who serve food to us," said Sana Dankhar '29.

To help new members of the campus community connect with the members who serve food in the dining hall on a more personal level, the group created hand-crafted name tag stands to place at their serving stations.

"The kids were SO excited to deliver them in person and see them displayed at lunch," said fifth-grade advisor and Middle School teacher Kalyn Underwood. "Learning how to create connections is a big part of Middle School at Lausanne, and I'm proud of them for figuring out a way to keep building relationships."
