The Outliers robotics team recently traveled to New Hampshire to compete in the final robotics competition of the calendar year. The two-day competition wrapped up with the inaugural “Girls Behind the Glass” event that required all drive team members to be female or non-binary—no challenge for the Outliers as the drive team is entirely composed of all female/non-binary students! After placing first in the qualification round, the Outliers partnered with teams from Littleton, Massachusetts, and Wolfeboro, New Hampshire, and won the event. Congratulations on another spectacular performance, Outliers!

It`s #FeatureFriday, and this week we`re turning the spotlight on Waynflete alum Ryan Blotnick `00. In this brief interview, Ryan shares his passion for music, addresses how a Waynflete education shaped his career, and reflects on his recent performance on campus with former Waynflete Jazz Combo and Band director Ray Morrow.
What motivates you, and why does what you do matter?
“Music is all about connecting, and connection is the greatest thing about being human. We love to celebrate, rejoice, and feel things together. At Waynflete, I remember I had to memorize the definition of humanism—the belief in the power and dignity of humans. When you listen to incredible music, you can feel the power and the dignity in it, even in the absence of words. I think part of my mission with music is showing that non-verbal ways of thinking are valid. There is a long history of oppression and hierarchy built into our language, and I love that improvised music cuts right through that and creates a space where everyone can be creative together.”
What aspects of your Waynflete experience do you think influenced or supported your career?
“Playing in the big band and combo under the direction of Ray Morrow was a huge inspiration. Ray was a teacher who exemplified excellence and dedication to the music, and you could hear him practicing his horn all the time—he practiced what he preached! He was an incredibly generous educator as well. He really got us fired up. And learning how to write essays may have been the most useful skill I got out of high school. For example, when I met the president of Songlines Recordings, I wrote to him and sent some music. He was a literature major and was impressed with my ability to write about my music. I think that helped us build a rapport that led me to three records on his label. Whether it’s writing to a label, writing to clubs to book gigs, or applying to grants, it is all basically variations on essay writing. I think that what I learned about writing at Waynflete even helped influence my musical composition process.”

You may have heard—it`s Election Day!
Liv Therrien ’25, Mia Haley ’26, and Gianna Barbieri ’25—who are all members of Youthwork Makes the Boothwork, an organization that aims to get young people involved by serving as poll workers—recently organized an Upper School mock election on the 2024 ballot questions. The goal was to engage students in the democratic process, increase awareness of current issues on the ballot, and help build an informed, civically minded student body at Waynflete. By simulating the voting experience, the mock election encouraged students to think critically about real-world issues and prepared them for future participation in local and national elections.
Middle School students completed a political issues ranking exercise to help them discover their voting preferences. From there, they “voted” by checking in at a new classroom with their voter registration cards and student keycards, casting a ballot behind a voting screen, and depositing it in a ballot box created by Visual Arts Department Chair Jona Rice. Teachers shared the results with students during community discussion time.

Upper School ceramics students recently embraced the art of pinch pots, transforming them into beautiful sculptures and functional pieces. After glazing these pieces, students turned their attention to their upcoming stamp-making project. They began brainstorming designs and carving them in clay. Soon, they`ll fire their stamps and use them to create a pattern on a slab that can be molded into a small dish. Stay tuned for more updates!

Our Upper School students recently participated in their special advising day, a valuable opportunity to pause classes and engage in meaningful work as a community. They divided into advisory groups and completed a variety of community service projects.
When asked about their experiences students shared:
“It showed me how quickly a meaningful connection can form.”
“I think it changed my perspective in that now I know how those primary documents end up online, and it makes me more appreciative to be able to use them.. People have spent so [much of their] time to let us have access to this wonderful history.”
“It made me realize how big the world is and how we should help to preserve nature.”
