It is with deep sadness that we share the passing of former Kurt Hahn School Social Studies teacher, Mr. Joe Seidel.

Mr. Seidel dedicated his career to educating, inspiring, and guiding generations of students. His passion for history, commitment to learning, and positive impact on our school community will not be forgotten.

Our thoughts and prayers are with Mr. Seidel’s family, friends, colleagues, and the many former students whose lives he touched throughout his years of service.

May he rest in peace, and may his legacy continue to inspire all who had the privilege of knowing him.

Dearest Reader,

It appears that at KHELS, a most spirited affair has unfolded… Our very own teachers led a Crew Olympics brimming with energy, laughter, and undeniable joy. From the strategic thrills of human battleship to the lively pursuit of a human crossword—where scholars raced to uncover our five commitments: perseverance, courage, respect, compassion, and stewardship—engagement was simply unmatched.

At KHELS, it is clear: the truest victory lies not in the final score, but in the unity, enthusiasm, and heart shown by all.

Until the next grand affair… 💫

Yours Truly,
Lady Bailey T 💋

KHELS as part of the Tilden Educational Campus, collaborated on a Women’s History Month culmination event for all of our women, in each of our schools: it was so beautiful and peaceful, seeing everyone make a bookmark, and/or a bracelet, and/or color in a mandala. ! 🌸💪🏾💖

A little photo recap of our amazing Explore Week! ✨📸

So what’s Explore Week all about? Over the course of 4 days, students dive deep into a topic they might not typically explore during their regular classes. It’s all about curiosity, creativity, and hands-on learning!

On the final day, students come together to showcase what they’ve learned through presentations—each one unique and reflective of their experience. 🎤🎨

Not many schools across the city offer opportunities like this, and we’re so lucky to be one of them! 💫

Huge shoutout and appreciation to our incredible teachers and staff who made it all happen—from planning trips to organizing lunches and managing all the moving pieces behind the scenes. This couldn’t have been done without you! 👏💙
