From the Editor

Momentum is more than forward motion — it’s the force that builds when curiosity, purpose, and community come together. And at Harvey, that energy is unmistakable.

The moment you step onto campus, you can feel it. It’s in the classrooms where students stretch their thinking and are comfortable asking big questions. It’s alive in our science labs buzzing with students probing scientific theories, in the robotics lab where future engineers probe how things work, and in creative spaces where students write, direct, and produce their own video sketches. You hear it in the upbeat chatter of Harvey Radio, where student voices quite literally take to the air. Everywhere you look, momentum is powered by students eager to understand, create, and connect — and by faculty who encourage them to chase their interests and passions with confidence and resilience.

That same spirit carries far beyond campus. Our alumni continue to forge paths driven by meaning, passion, and a genuine desire to contribute to the world around them. The alums featured in this issue share a deep appreciation for community — and for Harvey — recognizing the ways their time here helped shape their vision, their values, and their drive.

Whether we are coming together to celebrate Homecoming, enjoy an alumni basketball game, or to cheer on Harvey hockey alums as they face off on the Evarts Rink ice against New York Rangers alumni, we share a common energy that enkindles our sense of community and our commitment to Harvey. We know that when we leave Harvey, we walk away better for the experience, and ready for what comes next.

In this issue, we celebrate a school that never stands still. A place where curiosity fuels progress, where passions take flight, and where momentum isn’t just something we observe — it’s something we create together.

Happy reading!

welcome from the head of school

Dear Harvey Community,

As I sit down to write my final welcome letter to introduce the Harvey Magazine, this year’s theme — “The Power of Momentum” — seems apropos. This issue of the magazine captures that power beautifully, showcasing the ongoing progress achieved by students, faculty, and alumni alike.

Momentum is not merely movement but rather a persistent energy that is difficult to stop. At The Harvey School, this energy is generated by our students’ curiosity and hard work, our teachers’ commitment to their students and to their craft, and our families’ unwavering support. This collective force propels us forward, building upon past successes to reach new heights.

On campus this year we see a tangible example of that momentum. This summer we celebrated the grand opening of our historic Weil House and Alumni Barn, a yearslong project that required the collective strength of our community to maintain the forward motion that brought us to the stunning building that now welcomes people to campus and serves as the administrative hub of school operations. This project embodies the Harvey spirit, honoring the foundational values of our past while investing in a vibrant and modern future. The dedication and sustained effort required to see this project through is a testament to the powerful, enduring commitment of our community.

As you flip through these pages, you will read stories of alumni whose achievements are the result of the trajectory established during their time at Harvey. You will see highlights of creative endeavors, academic accomplishments, and athletic successes that represent the culmination of countless hours of dedicated practice and commitment. You will learn of new initiatives, such as our school radio station, that build on past programs and create fresh channels for student voices. These stories are not endpoints; they are markers on a continuous, upward path.

This year marks my 10th and final year as head of The Harvey School. While this chapter is closing for me personally, the powerful momentum of this special place is only gathering speed. I will leave with absolute confidence in knowing that Harvey is poised for an exciting next era in the school’s history. A new head of school is not a break in the flow, but rather a source of energy and vision that will build upon our strong foundation and propel Harvey into the future with renewed purpose.

It has been an honor and privilege to lead The Harvey School. I am proud of everything we have achieved together, and I will be forever grateful for all that this community has given to my family and me. Thank you for the shared commitment to the values that ground us, the unwavering belief in our mission that guides us, and the opportunity to be part of this incredible, ongoing journey.

I now invite you to enjoy this latest edition of the Harvey Magazine and take pride in the remarkable momentum it reflects.

With sincere gratitude and optimism for the future,

Bill Knauer, Head of School P’23

BUILDING BRIDGES

THE MOMENTUM BEHIND ONE ALUM’S MISSION

By Karen Grazia

“I wanted to have a more direct impact on those in my community. Educating and impacting the next generation is important to me.”

When Rohan Cassells ’16 first stepped onto The Harvey School campus as a new sixth grader back in 2009, he had no idea just how transformational the years ahead would be. What he did know — even as a middle schooler — was that this new chapter held the potential to profoundly shape him, both academically and personally.

When he was growing up and attending elementary school in Mount Vernon, New York, you could say his eventual journey to Harvey began when his fourth grade teacher encouraged him to apply to REACH Prep. A Stamford-based nonprofit academy founded in 1994 for girls and expanding to boys in 2000, REACH Prep advances a bold mission: “to provide exceptional educational opportunities for students across Fairfield and Westchester counties and the Bronx so they can graduate college equipped with the confidence, skills, and knowledge to make a meaningful impact.”

Accepting that challenge, Rohan dove into REACH Prep’s rigorous program. He quickly realized what a life-changing opportunity it was. “Although the schoolwork was challenging and the sacrifice was great, the investment in my education continues to pay dividends to this day,” he said.

Late in his fifth grade year, a family friend suggested he look at The Harvey School for middle school. Rohan toured in mid-August, hoping for the best. “I found out I was accepted and would be attending Harvey along with two of my friends from REACH Prep,” he recalled. “From then on, the rest is history!”

DISCOVERING PASSIONS AT HARVEY

At Harvey, Rohan found himself immersed in possibilities. He was excited to participate in competitive sports for the first time, have a locker of his own,

and have access to a high-quality lunch each day. This was the foundation that led to Rohan feeling comfortable and confident, prepared to learn and grow both in and out of the classroom. What he discovered went far beyond that.

“Harvey exposed me to diverse and unique experiences such as improvisational acting classes, a trip to Italy, and the ability to participate on the golf team,” he said. “These enriching experiences broadened my perspective on life and made me a more well-rounded person.”

The opportunities helped him uncover talents and interests he continues to nurture today. “At Harvey, I discovered interests I would not have known otherwise.”

A CAREER BUILT ON CURIOSITY — AND A CALL TO SERVE

Rohan went on to graduate from Temple University in 2020 with a bachelor’s degree in finance and sports management. He launched a successful career at JPMorgan Chase in the Commercial Bank before moving to Citi Bank’s Investment Management Group.

“I had great success early in my career and learned a tremendous amount,” he said. “Nonetheless, I wanted to have a more direct impact on those in my community. Educating and impacting the next generation is important to me.”

That calling led him — full circle — back to REACH Prep, where he now serves as Director of Placement and Assistant Director of Programs.

“The journey back was pretty organic,” he shared. “I was planning to conduct a financial literacy workshop for the high school seniors when I was approached with the opportunity.” The role aligned perfectly with his desire for leadership, purpose-driven work, and a chance to empower

young people. “My ultimate goal is to instill confidence in students, assure families navigating the independent school landscape, and deepen connections with partner schools so our students are successfully placed each year.”

REBUILDING THE HARVEY–REACH PREP CONNECTION

One partnership Rohan is particularly excited to strengthen is between his two cherished alma maters. That relationship began back in 2009 when Rohan and his two REACH Prep peers entered Harvey Middle School. The partnership between the two schools flourished for several years. More recently, however, the momentum has waned.

“With no current REACH Prep students attending Harvey as of the 2025-2026 school year, my goal is to reestablish Harvey as a desirable destination for our families,” Rohan said. After meeting with Harvey’s Director of Admissions Roger Del Pozo and returning to campus several times to experience what Harvey looks like today, he’s eager to get to work. “I plan to send gifted and dynamic REACH Prep students to The Harvey School on a consistent basis to augment the great culture on campus and strengthen the school’s diversity.”

Mr. Del Pozo shares Rohan’s vision for their future partnership. “I’m very excited to reestablish our relationship with REACH Prep, and especially to work with Rohan, whose insight into the Harvey experience is invaluable,” said Mr. Del Pozo, adding, “As an alumnus of both REACH Prep and The Harvey School, he brings a unique perspective on the opportunities Harvey offers, and I’m looking forward to collaborating with him to extend those opportunities to other REACH Prep students.”

Looking back, Rohan describes his Harvey years as some of the “most fun, memorable, and edifying” of his life. The friendships, faculty support, and countless enriching experiences left a lasting imprint.

“Harvey was not just a school, it was a family,” he said. “Its small, close-knit community means you really get to know your classmates, teachers, and the campus. Sometimes, all it takes is one interaction with an old friend or teacher to reinvoke all the great memories.”

Rohan hopes to encourage more Harvey alumni to stay engaged. “I gained so much while at Harvey. I hope to give back by encouraging others who have been positively impacted to stay connected and support the school as well. After graduation, our life as Harvey Cavaliers doesn’t end, it simply evolves. I encourage every alum to stay connected and give back whenever possible, for the rewards are immense.”

A FUTURE FUELED BY MOMENTUM

Even as he builds a new career in education and mentorship, Rohan continues to pursue the things he loves — family time, basketball, staying active, board games, learning new skills, and playing the piano. That dedication to growth is something Harvey helped instill.

Rohan is moving forward with enthusiasm to make his own impact on his community and the young people around him. “In today’s isolated world, community is as important as ever,” he said. For Rohan Cassells, the Harvey experience sparked a momentum that continues to move him forward — and now, he’s channeling that same momentum to uplift the next generation.

“Harvey was not just a school, it was a family, Its small, close-knit community means you really get to know your classmates, teachers, and the campus.”

Harvey’s Media Makers

By Karen Grazia

Harvey’s Media Arts program is buzzing with creativity as students explore storytelling across sound, screen, and rhythm. From producing live broadcasts on Harvey Radio to crafting original comedy in the Video Sketches elective class and learning the expressive power of lyrical writing in The Language of Rap Music & Performance Middle School elective, students are discovering new ways to share their voices. Guided by inspiring faculty, they write, record, edit, perform, and collaborate — building confidence, honing technical skills, and learning to communicate with impact. At Harvey, Media Arts isn’t just a set of classes; it’s a dynamic creative playground where imagination is on full volume.

Tune In: Harvey Radio Makes Its Debut

Harvey Radio is now live and on air! An incredible addition to our Media Arts program, the student-run and operated Harvey Radio is making quite a debut this school year.

The radio was born out of The Podcasting Club that was started by seniors Dean Jones and Jake Karamehmedovic. “The club was popular and the students had a lot of fun creating their own podcasts and sharing stories,” said media arts teacher Nate Alexander ’13. “However, the students didn’t have an outlet for their finished productions. Harvey Radio was inspired by that student club.”

There is a buzz coming from Harvey Radio, with the Radio/Podcasting/Broadcasting class hosting radio events and curating music. The Podcasting Club is still ongoing, meeting during club time and creating more content. Seniors Peyton Forde and Summer Jarbath are in charge of the Friday Morning Announcements on air.

“I got involved with Harvey Radio after running for student body president with Peyton, unfortunately losing the election yet accomplishing a very moving speech that truly made an impact,” said Summer. “Peyton and I spoke with confidence and emotion, resulting in Mr. A offering us the position to speak on the radio, hoping we would be able to deliver the same uplifting impact we had during our speech.”

So far, student and faculty feedback alike confirms that Summer and Peyton are indeed delivering on their uplifting message.

“From what people are telling me around campus, Harvey Radio is a good addition to our community’s morning on Fridays,” said Peyton. “I have heard nothing but positive, constructive feedback.”

“We’ve had a great number of people listening to our music and special events and enjoying our announcements in the morning,” said Mr. Alexander. As enjoyable as the content is, there are greater lessons at work for students involved in Harvey Radio.

“There are so many skills that the radio station helps teach students,” Mr. Alexander

said. “First and foremost, it forces students to practice public speaking and communication skills. Speaking on air challenges students in a constructive and safe environment. Students will also help grow and add to the Harvey community by performing on air,” he said.

The Friday morning announcements duo couldn’t agree more.

“I’ve learned that radio hosting is a fun way to get over any social anxiety that you might have of public speaking,” said Peyton. “Being behind the microphone allows you to be yourself while not being in the spotlight. I learned that if you choose to do something you’re nervous about, doing it with a friend will allow you to ease whatever nerves you have and enjoy the moment,” she said.

“I’ve learned that mistakes are OK, and even more so, that mistakes are great,” shared Summer. “They are learning curves that everyone must accept as part of the journey. My second time on the radio, I ended up laughing a whole bunch. It was embarrassing and I felt awful; however, it changed the way I view public mistakes,” she said, adding, “Everyone moves on, everyone forgets, and life continues to pass.”

But it’s not only Upper School students who are having all the fun at Harvey Radio. This winter term, Middle School students are enjoying a radio class taught by Performing Arts teacher Austin Morgan and music teacher William Norman. “The class covers everything from creating DJ personas and making their own playlists to scripting transitions like a radio show would,” Mr. Morgan said, adding, “The middle schoolers have been writing scripts for morning announcements, just as the Upper School radio does every Friday.”

If Harvey Radio isn’t on your playlist yet, now’s the moment to tune in!

Live From Harvey…

It’s

Video Sketches!

In its second year as a media arts elective, Video Sketches has been nothing short of exhilarating, educational, and hilarious — both on set and in the final sketches. While some students are drawn to the filmmaking process and others to acting, roles in this class are evenly distributed with all students making at least one appearance in front of the camera.

The class is helmed by media arts teachers Austin Morgan and Nate Alexander ’13, with 10 students in the class tasked with writing and directing a video sketch under five minutes long. “The students take an idea from the brainstorm stage to the final edited project,” said Mr. Morgan. “In that process, the students learn to write a script, storyboard their shots, scout location, set up the location, costume their actors, direct their actors, direct the camera on how to film the actors, as well as edit and score the final product,” he said.

“The students have been traveling around campus and even into the village of Katonah to film their scenes,” shared Mr. Alexander. “It has been a great and rewarding experience.”

Mr. Morgan agreed, adding, “We staged a fight scene in the conference room of the Weil House. I mean, does it get any more fun than that?” he said with a smile.

The students have immersed themselves in the process, gaining numerous skills through working in a collaborative and cohesive environment.

“The most interesting part of this class is that the whole class can come with ideas and help make each other’s sketches better with input. It’s a great team-building experience,” shared Linus Lindahl ’28, one of our international students from Sweden. “At the start of the school year everyone was kind of shy and didn’t really want to open up. Three months later, there hasn’t been a class where anyone hasn’t been laughing.”

“The most interesting part of this class for me is letting loose before I need to go to AP Calculus,” joked Tory Janush ’26. “Also, the number of times I laugh in class, the exploration of the Weil House, and the different classrooms we have filmed in, and the creativity and bonding that my peers and I have experienced,” she said.

Mr. Morgan and Mr. Alexander, while representing opposite sides of the creative process, both technically and in personality, are the living, breathing examples of the magic of collaboration and creativity.

“Mr. Alexander is an absolute genius with technology,” shared Tory. “I have had several intricate questions for Mr. Alexander during this editing process, and he never fails to help with kindness and efficiency. Mr. Morgan has helped me step out of my comfort zone more and is teaching me the way of life as an actor, ensuring that I wear the same clothing on secondary film days,” she said, adding, “They are an incredible team of teachers and I hope that I can take another class with them both in the spring.”

“I have learned so much from Mr. Morgan and Mr. Alexander,” said Bex Waisman ’28. “I have learned how to work the camera and sound for film, how to edit, and how to work around logistical issues while filming,” she said, adding, “I really enjoy getting to participate in every aspect of the filmmaking process.”

“Not only have I learned to control a camera, I’ve also learned to assemble and disassemble mics and headphones, find shots, and everything in between,” said Linus. “I’ve learned to have fun in a working environment. I feel like sometimes we forget to have fun. This is my favorite class and I have never been an artistic guy. But this is actually fun,” Linus said.

We are looking forward to when the final production is shared with the community.

“There may be a need for a Harvey Film Fest in the future,” said Mr. Morgan. Sounds like the perfect wrap on this rewarding hands-on experience.

Beat Builders: Harvey’s Young Rhyme Makers

Harvey middle schoolers are exploring their creative side through learning about rhythm and finding “the sweet spot” lyrically in a new elective for students in grades 6-8 offered by Middle School performing arts teacher Austin Morgan. The Language of Rap Music and Performance empowers these young students to write their own original lyrics, develop rhythm and flow, and confidently perform their original verses by the end of the term.

“This is a class I created to encourage student expression through creating original music and lyrics,” shared Mr. Morgan, Harvey’s own master rap performer who has written and performed rap songs for community events such as the 8th Grade Moving Up Ceremony, school fundraisers, and school talent shows. Mr. Morgan’s energy and enthusiasm has served as an incredible motivator for his students. Since the goal was for students to write a rap about something they knew well enough to “teach the class,” the lyrics part came a bit easier at first.

“In the beginning of the class, we did an exercise where you say a little bit about yourself and talk about what you like,” shared Logan ’31. “My rap is about kickboxing. I like how Mr. Morgan gives us the opportunity to express ourselves in the form of singing and rapping,” he said.

“What’s great about the rap-making process is that there is something in it for everyone,” Mr. Morgan said. “One student in particular was drawn to creating their own beat on Soundtrap, a cloud-based digital audio workshop. They used skills of active listening and trial and error

by playing with different instruments and seeing what fits together. For others, the writing part is where they shined. Others really shine during the vocal performance or recording section because they get to use their voice and personality as an instrument,” he said.

Caleb ’32 was working on creating a paper airplane to use in his rap video about airplanes. “I’m new to rap music but I like when it rhymes and goes together so well,” said Caleb. He can’t wait to see the final results of both his own rap and his fellow classmates. “I like making stuff,” he said. His classmate Wayden ’31, who was working on his rap about shoes, also doesn’t listen to rap music, but he was enjoying learning about the recording process in particular.

While Hunter ’30 didn’t know anything about rapping before he took this class, he is really enjoying the process. “The class is fun,” said Hunter. “There are a lot of interesting things that we’re doing.” Mr. Morgan heaped praise on Hunter’s growing abilities, adding, “Hunter took the beat-making, producing part of this to the next level.” Mr. Morgan and Hunter enlisted the help of Upper School dance student Abbigail Holder-Berry ’28 to work with Hunter, who was happy to choreograph his video and another video for a fellow classmate.

Shooting the music videos involved an entirely different range of skills, and the students eagerly gravitated toward the elements that interested them the most. “Some were drawn to storyboarding, filming, and editing the shots while others really liked performing and being in front of the camera,” said Mr. Morgan. These Harvey Middle School rhymers are flourishing by tapping into self-expression, storytelling, and the power of words to inspire and connect.

More Than Miles

By Karen Grazia

When

Christian Coscio

was hired to teach Upper School history at Harvey in 2019, he was excited to also be asked to coach the school’s existing cross country team, the only running sport being offered at the time. This was the beginning of a new Harvey athletic dynasty. Where we once did not have an organized track and field program, Coach Coscio saw the opportunity to add those two seasons to Harvey Athletics, and the now robust program has become the largest of the sports offered at Harvey year after year, despite limited facilities yet bursting with unlimited drive and passion.

Since taking the helm as Harvey’s head coach of all three programs, Coach Coscio has seen Harvey cross country student-athletes win four team HVAL

championships, five individual HVAL titles, and one NEPSAC championship. In addition, under his watch, numerous athletes have earned individual titles as all-league and all-conference honorees, and national qualifiers season after season. Just this past fall, ninth grader Ally Zimmerman repeated as the HVAL cross country individual girls champion, earning the title in 2024 as well. While the accolades are incredible, the accomplishments of his team mean something deeper to Coach Coscio, or Coach Cos, as his athletes call him. “The running achievements, of

—Coach Coscio

course, are awesome, but I have really loved seeing my athletes grow into true runners. The love and passion they have for the sport is exactly what I want my athletes to walk away with when they graduate and leave Harvey,” he shared.

Coach Coscio officially started his own running career as a high school freshman, joining his track and field team in the spring season. With a father who competed in track and field and ran in college, and an older sister active in running since middle school, Coach Coscio decided it was his turn to give it a try. “It was the best decision I’ve ever made,” says Coach.

“My friends convinced me to join cross country, even though I was a sprinter, and then I joined the indoor track team in my sophomore year. From then on, I ran all three seasons for the remainder of my high school career,” he said.

Recruited by a few schools, Coach Coscio finally settled on the Marist College (now Marist University) D1 program, where he focused primarily

on the 400-meter dash. Coach Coscio is a testament to running as a lifelong passion and he believes strongly in the life lessons that the sport provided him, and now to his athletes.

“This sport is great for allowing people to challenge themselves. While you compete against others at each meet, you are also trying to beat yourself,” he said. “I have seen athletes finish last in a race who are ecstatic because they hit a huge personal best time. This sport is a metaphor for life. You get out of it what you put in and usually the secret to success is just to put in a good effort.”

But Coach Coscio also notes that sometimes your best might not be good enough to get the prize, and there will still be people who are better than you. Herein lies a vital lesson. “Learning how to respond to that is an important life lesson that our athletes deal with often and sets them up for success beyond the sport,” he said.

Coach Coscio is heartened by the benefits his student-athletes reap from being part of his program. The most obvious benefit of better health and fitness is apparent to most, but there are many more hidden gems once the spikes are laced up and

the clock is running. “We have athletes from all different backgrounds participating,” said Coach Coscio. “This gives our athletes the opportunity to meet and compete with many others they may never have met or interacted with before joining the sport. Being able to handle the controlled chaos of a meet at The Armory in New York City, with thousands of athletes competing across five events happening at the same time can be overwhelming. Athletes in multiple events such as the sprints and jumps learn how to manage their time and communicate with officials, especially when their events are happening at the same time. These skills benefit our athletes as they move on to college and the workforce and need to juggle their many classes, family and social lives, and everything else life throws at them,” he said.

Coach Coscio would love to coach every student at Harvey to show them the sport he loves. He enjoys watching leadership skills emerge within his student-athletes. “It is so awesome to see a student that is quiet, almost afraid to speak when they first start at Harvey, then become a captain who has no problem vocalizing to their fellow athletes and leading them,” Coach Coscio said. “I love and hope to continue to give our athletes the opportunity to grow and find their voices.”

Coach Coscio’s example of leadership is a testament to the special bond that his athletes form with each other. Training closely day after day creates close friendships, and with teammates bringing in other friends to try the sport, the bond only strengthens and the program continues to run deep. “Our captains are a big part of setting the tone and protecting the team culture,” Coach Coscio said. “They are often doing little things for each other, like making ‘psych cards’ before each meet with encouragement for their teammates heading into competition which helps to build the camaraderie among the team.”

Coach Coscio hopes all his athletes walk away from the sport having a positive experience overall, regardless of whether they continue to pursue the sport or not. “I hope they can take some of what they learned and translate it into another aspect of their life,” he said. “I hope they see the passion that I have for the sport and think about what they are passionate about. I was a track coach before I was a teacher, and the coaching side of things really made me realize my passion for teaching and working with students to help them achieve their goals. I hope my athletes realize they can continue pursuing their passions as they get older and find ways to stay involved in the things they love,” he

said, adding, “Often the things they love will lead them to new things that they may have never thought they’d be a part of.”

With a powerful blend of veteran competitors, rising newcomers, and a coaching staff that truly knows how to bring out the best in each athlete, Harvey’s cross country and track and field programs are poised to propel student-athletes to new heights.

Senior Captain Mollie Weisberger ’26

Growing up playing soccer, Mollie never imagined that she’d be running track and field. Then she had Mr. Coscio for ninth grade Global Studies and he suggested joining the team. The sport grew on her, and now four years later, Mr. Coscio became Coach Cos.

Mollie’s favorite events are high jump and short sprints. “I have tried many events,” says Mollie. “I run anything from the 55-meter and 400-meter dashes. If Cos needs me to do an event to help the team, I’ll do it,” she says.

When asked what she’s learned from Coach Cos, her response was immediate. “What hasn’t Coach Coscio taught me! He taught me to be confident in myself and push myself even when it gets difficult. Cos taught me to use my frustrations

“

[CoachCoscio]taughtmetobe confidentinmyselfandpush myselfevenwhenitgetsdifficult. Costaughtmetousemyfrustrations as motivation.” —Mollie Weisberger ’26

as motivation,” says Mollie. “This team has taught me leadership skills, as being a captain has a lot of responsibilities. I have had to learn how to be a good teammate and help the new athletes who are doing track for the first time.”

Mollie’s favorite part about being on the team is how supportive everyone is, saying she feels most comfortable being her “weird, silly self, and knowing I won’t be judged, which I love.” While track is an individual sport, it still feels very much like a team to Mollie.

Mollie has committed to the Women’s Track and Field program at the University of Rochester, while majoring in special education and psychology with a possible minor in American Sign Language.

After a fall season winning the girls varsity soccer HVAL championship title with the Harvey team, Mollie is now in her final year on Coach Coscio’s track and field team, ready to lead and take in every moment. “I’ve absolutely loved competing for Harvey. No matter how much I complain about being cold or sore, I would not trade it for anything,” she says.

O’Neil Ellis ’26

O’Neil joined the cross country team for the first time this past fall and found the exposure to running longer distances has significantly contributed to improving his endurance in the indoor track season, readying him to challenge some of the school records in his events. For the winter indoor season, he competes in the 55-meter, 300-meter, and the 600-meter dashes, and the 4x200 and 4x400 relays. In the spring outdoor season he concentrates on the 100, 200, and 400-meter dashes, and all the sprint relays.

“Having Coach Coscio as a coach has been one of the greatest parts of my Harvey experience,” shares O’Neil. “He brings energy that makes practice enjoyable by mixing productivity and amusement. Hehashelpedmefind myvoiceandgain confidence,onandoff thetrack,thatIonce never had.” —O’Neil Ellis

’26

His sarcasm never fails to make people laugh, but he is also solemn and knows how to push us beyond measure,” he says.

In Coach Coscio’s program, O’Neil has developed mental toughness, built his stamina for sprinting, and helped shape his assertiveness, humility, and discipline. “He has helped me find my voice and gain confidence, on and off the track, that I once never had,” says O’Neil about Coach Coscio. “He has helped me discipline myself, both as a student and athlete, by showing up, giving it my all, and doing everything tirelessly. I cannot thank him enough for pushing me to do more and for seeing a side of me that I did not discern within myself.”

O’Neil says Coach Coscio encourages his athletes to grow and describes his coach as the “quintessential Human Megaphone,” famous for his chant “Here We Go!” to uplift and motivate his athletes to keep pushing. His words enkindle a fire in each and every one of his runners.

“Coach Coscio is very vocal about what he looks for in an athlete — drive, dedication, and vibrancy,” says O’Neil. “He establishes that the team is welcome to all types of people, whether you are a star runner, a newcomer, or just preparing for another sport. He does not care about your experience. All he wants are athletes who want to be there.”

O’Neil is thankful to have learned so many important life lessons through running and Coach Coscio as he prepares to embark on his next journey, studying fashion marketing at college.

Ally Zimmerman ’29

Ally started running in seventh grade at Harvey with absolutely no experience. “Coach Coscio saw my potential when I was running cross country in middle school and asked me to join the varsity track team,” said Ally. “Then I joined the varsity cross country team where Coscio helped me grow into the runner I am today. He helped me evolve by giving us specific training and workout plans, even on days off from school. With his coaching, it allowed me to travel to many new places such as Maine and Boston to do what I love most,” she said.

Ally shared that this sport is one of the most challenging because so much of it is mental. With his motivating speeches before races along with strategies to help his athletes execute their plan, Ally has definitely found success on the cross country course and the track. “We practice going out strong, being aggressive on the course, and

having a good finish because with that combination, winning becomes a reachable goal,” Ally said. “He’s taught me to never do anything without giving it my 100% effort.”

As the reigning two-time HVAL girls varsity cross country champion, Ally also runs the 800-meter race in track, an event which qualified her to compete in the New Balance Nationals last season. She runs all events, from the 400 meters up to 1500 meters, and hopes to beat her personal records (PR) in the upcoming indoor and outdoor seasons, and qualify for Nationals again.

“I’m not sure what my goals are just yet, but I’ve come so far so I can see myself pursuing running in college,” said Ally. “I know Coach Coscio will continue to be a supporter in my life. He stays in contact with his high school coach and even uses workouts from his high school running days for our training,” she said, adding, “ I hope to continue to grow in this space and find a bright future for myself with Coach Coscio in my corner.”

Mr. Saltz encouraged me to join the Science Club he recently founded, where our one-on-one conversations now have many ears listening. I presented my ideas to other members, turning me from a student to a teacher.”

STEM-ing FROM

Sonia Espitia ’26 has an interesting story to share. On the first day of her AP Biology class, everyone wanted to know which unit would be the most challenging. Harvey teacher Brandon Saltz replied that most students found Unit Three, Cellular Energetics, the most difficult, especially the light-dependent reactions. Not one to shy away from a challenge, Sonia promised herself that while previous AP Bio students had struggled with this material, she would ace the unit test when the time came.

“When I reached the unit and opened my hefty textbook to a photosynthesis diagram, I couldn’t believe my eyes. The entire page was covered with ions, protein complexes, and reactions,” said Sonia. “I peeked over at my classmates and all of them looked just as lost as I was. However, I would not let this steer me away

By Karen Grazia

from my promise, so I decided to schedule after-school meetings with Mr. Saltz.”

As they met, Sonia’s understanding of the material began to build, and her curiosity grew. Before the Unit Three test, Sonia pondered why the word “electron” was used in the term “electron transport chain.” Sonia had questions: Did this imply that electricity was a crucial part of photosynthesis? Since electrons are a major component of conducting electricity, is there an electric current inside a photosynthetic organism? She researched, she studied, and she had even more questions for Mr. Saltz.

Sonia met with Mr. Saltz during one of her free periods and spent the entire time sharing her findings and asking hypothetical questions. “While these reactions happen within the walls of

tiny units within the organelle of a microscopic cell, my mind ran wild with questions,” Sonia shared. “Mr. Saltz encouraged me to join the Science Club he recently founded, where our one-on-one conversations now have many ears listening. I presented my ideas to other members, turning me from a student to a teacher. Afterward, students who had never taken AP Biology came up to me, eager to learn more. Gradually, I began sharing complex articles for discussion,” she said.

These questions and discussions fueled new ideas among the students. “My group is currently developing a research proposal, hoping one day to create new green energy through plants,” said Sonia.

Sonia’s curiosity also extends to other passions in her life. She is taking a class at Westchester Community College to get her EMT certification, learning all aspects of patient care in emergency situations. Sonia is also an accomplished powerlifter, finishing first in her division at Raw Nationals. She has competed over the last four years, breaking five New York State records. “My goals are to keep increasing my total, go to High School Nationals in March, and eventually compete internationally,” said Sonia.

Sonia praised her college counselor, Director of College Counseling Meg Booth, for her help with the college process. “She checks in with me when the process gets overwhelming and always finds a way to break things down so they feel manageable instead of terrifying,” said Sonia.

The future looks bright for Sonia. She plans to study biology, and more specifically, dive deeper into plant biology to continue on with her research proposal involving new green energy, and a pre-med track remains on the table.

Henry He ’26 has always had a curiosity for learning new things and trying to figure out how things work. Arriving at Harvey as a sophomore in the International Student Program, Henry has eased into American culture and adapted to being away from his hometown and family in Shanghai, China during the school year. “I feel like I fit in at Harvey very well and I have my own friend group,” Henry said. Living in the dorms has also helped him to grow tremendously both as an individual and as a student.

“Harvey helped me academically in many ways,” said Henry. “There’s only about 10 students in each class, so there’s more opportunities to talk to the teacher about the things I’m confused about. Last year I spent so much time talking with Mr. Kelly about AP Physics outside class time.”

When Henry first came to Harvey, his favorite subject was fine arts, and he was excited to improve his drawing skills and combine his love of anime to explore his interest in concept art in game projects. He said back in 2023, “At Harvey, I want to create more things with my own ideas and I want to draw them out using my skills.” It’s no wonder that two years later, Henry has built on these early interests and abilities, and found a path that now includes robotics and math.

“I get a lot out of robotics tournaments,” shared Henry. “I love learning how to build a durable robot and get better with team work. On my team, everyone has their own job, so we always have to manage our time with each other to max out our work efficiently.”

Always curious, Henry took it upon himself to learn how to pick locks and understand the mechanism involved. “My friend and classmate, Ryan, got me started and I enjoy doing it because it’s a calming feeling with every pin click in the lock,” said Henry. “Plus I love to do things with my hands. It’s testing my patience all the time.”

It is no surprise now that Henry is planning on majoring in mechanical engineering in college due to his love of robotics which he discovered at Harvey. He is grateful to his college counselor for her one-on-one commitment to his success.

“Ms. Feighery helped me a lot during my college submissions. She always wanted to know more about me so that she could recommend some good schools that she thought I would like. Working with her is the easiest thing in the world,” said Henry.

On my [robotics] team, everyone has their own job, so we always have to manage our time with each other to max out our work efficiently.”

Harvey Hockey—

By Chris Del Campo

ON SOLID ICE

Harvey gives us the platform to build complete student-athletes who can compete at the next level and be leaders on and off the ice.”

MEET COLTON ORR, FORMER NHL PLAYER

Director of Hockey Programs and Outreach

Katonah’s a long, long way from Winnipeg in Manitoba, Canada, in fact, nearly 2,700 kilometers (about 1700 miles) from where Colton Orr, Harvey’s Director of Hockey Programs and Outreach and varsity coach grew up and learned how to skate at age 11. The great distance between the two locales is not the only difference, with Katonah being but a small hamlet in the town of Bedford with about 2,000 residents and Winnipeg, a bustling capital city with a population of about one million. Yet, when Coach Orr, a former NHL player, dons his skates and steps upon the ice at Harvey’s Evarts Rink to coach his Cavaliers, he feels very much at home, feeling very much like he did way back in Winnipeg.

Coach Orr, who came to Harvey in August 2024, saw early on how much the school community, including both current and past families, values and appreciates the rink. It reminds him of his youth. “The game was a big part of our community and identity in Winnipeg, where I fell instantly in love with the game, not just the competition, but the discipline, teamwork, and lessons it taught me,” Coach Orr said.

His love of the game led Coach Orr to hone his skills playing junior hockey with the Swift Current Broncos, Kamloops Blazers, and Regina Pats in the Western Hockey League, a part of the Canadian Hockey League considered as a primary pathway for aspiring professional hockey players, especially those who wish to play in the NHL. Coach Orr attained his goal of playing in what is considered the world’s premier professional ice hockey league where he enjoyed a career that spanned more than 10 years, suiting up for the Boston Bruins, New York Rangers, and the Toronto Maple Leafs.

“I built my career on hard work, accountability, and protecting my teammates, values which still define my approach to coaching today,” said Coach Orr, who, after retiring, transitioned to player development and coaching, where he said he “found the same passion for developing and helping young athletes reach their potential goal.”

The chance to share his love and knowledge of the sport with the Harvey community was too good to pass up for Coach Orr. “What drew me to Harvey was the opportunity to build something meaningful from the ground up, creating a hockey culture that develops strong players, but more importantly, strong young men and women,” said Coach Orr, who liked what he saw from the very first time he set foot on campus. “I could sense the community spirit, the commitment to academics, and the pride in representing Harvey,” Coach Orr said. He is committed to working toward making the hockey program complement the school’s mission.“I want to combine top-level hockey with outstanding academics and character,” he said, adding, “Harvey gives us the platform to build complete student-athletes who can compete at the next level and be leaders on and off the ice.”

In his role as Director of Hockey Programs and Outreach, Coach Orr welcomes the opportunity to meet prospective student-athletes and their families, and show them “who we are at Harvey and what makes this community special.” He explained, “For many prospective student-athletes, their first conversation with the school might be through hockey, and I view that as an opportunity to introduce them not just to our program, but to the broader values of Harvey.” He said what he likes most about his outreach role is the opportunity to build relationships. “I get to meet families, players, and coaches from so many different backgrounds, and every conversation gives me a chance to share what makes Harvey unique. It’s rewarding to see a student’s eyes light up when they realize Harvey could be a place where they grow not just as an athlete, but as a student and person.”

Well into his second year, Coach Orr said his first year experiences have helped guide him to having a clearer vision. “My first year at Harvey taught me a lot about balance, balancing player development with academics and competitive goals with the culture we’re trying to build,” Coach Orr said, adding, “I learned how important communication is between players, parents, and staff and how much pride families take in being part of the school.” He said he’s working to build a varsity program that is not just about wins and losses but “about building a foundation of respect, accountability and work ethic that will sustain success for years to come.” He said he’s seen firsthand how supportive the school leadership and community are, which has given him “even more confidence in what we can achieve here.”

Speaking specifically about the school’s hockey program, Coach Orr said his vision “is to make Harvey a competitive hockey program, not just a school with a hockey team, but a true hockey destination.” He plans to work toward growing the program, having a more competitive schedule, and developing a JV and middle school system that builds from within. He knows it won’t happen overnight. “The key is to keep the long-term vision and focus, building sustainable success — not quick fixes, but the right partnerships, planning, and community support,” Coach Orr

explained. “We want to improve every season and we look to bring in the right student-athletes who support the same goals and vision,” he said, adding, “I want players to love to come to the rink every day and take pride in the school, wearing the Harvey jersey and representing Harvey hockey.”

Evarts Memorial Ice Rink is an iconic landmark in Northern Westchester, a recreational facility which hundreds of area families have enjoyed using since its opening in 1969. Coach Orr sees it as “hub for the community” and envisions it as a place “where Harvey students, alumni, and local youths can come together around the game.”

Coach Orr recognizes there is no group more passionate about Evarts and the hockey program than the alumni. “They are a huge part of this program’s heartbeat,” Coach Orr said. “Many of them played here when hockey was in its early stages and they cared deeply about seeing it thrive again,” he said, adding that he wishes to tap into their fervor.

“My goal is to reconnect with them through events like The Harvey Alumni vs Ranger Alumni Benefit Game, mentorship opportunities, and a stronger hockey alumni network that supports the next generation,” he said. Coach Orr sees the alumni as role models who can share their stories, experiences, and pride in Harvey hockey. “By bringing them back into the fold, we not

only honor the past, we strengthen the future of our program,” Coach Orr said.

This year, Coach Orr has joined another constituency of the Harvey community. Since his daughter Charlotte enrolled as a seventh grader this fall in the Harvey Middle School, Coach Orr is now a school parent, and he’s enjoying the company on his daily commute. “It’s special for me to drive to school with Charlotte every day and to see her growing within the same environment where I work every day, and,” he added, “Charlotte loves her experience so far.” Being a parent has given him a new perspective. “Seeing it through a parent’s eyes, I’ve witnessed how dedicated the teachers are and how supportive the community is. It reinforces why I chose to be here.”

It’s highly unlikely that the 11-year-old playing youth hockey back in Winnipeg had anything more on his mind other than beating an opponent to the puck and slapping it past the opposing goalie, but some 30 years later, the one-time NHL player who is now leading Harvey’s hockey program has grown to see how much the sport means to him beyond the slapshots and forechecks. “Hockey has given me so much in my life,” Coach Orr said, “and being able to pass those lessons on through coaching, mentoring, and community-building means a lot.” And the Harvey hockey community is happy he’s on their team.

Welcome Home, CIAN KEOHANE ’18

Cian Keohane is back at Evarts Rink and loving every minute of it. A member of Harvey’s Class of 2018 and a Fairchester Athletic Association (FAA) all-league hockey player in both his junior and senior years, Cian is serving in his second year as the assistant to head coach Colton Orr, getting a close-up view of what’s behind the buzz throughout the community following the hiring of the former NHL player to lead Harvey’s hockey program.

Currently working on obtaining his master’s in education at the University of Mt. St. Vincent, Cian is also getting advanced learning in coaching hockey from a 10-year NHL player. “Working alongside Coach Orr has been everything I’d imagine and more,” said Cian. “The way he sees the game, the drive he has to push student-athletes to be the best version of themselves, is infectious,” Cian said. “I think he does a really good job motivating the players to come to the rink every day and focus on one area where they can really grow their game,” Cian added.

Coming to Evarts every day in the winter season is pure joy for Cian, whose fervor for hockey goes way back to childhood when he was just 2 years old and his father bought him his first pair of skates. With his passion to skate and play hockey growing as he entered his teens, Cian participated in competitive travel hockey for the former Bronxville Blackhawks and played for Yorktown

High School’s hockey team before transferring to Harvey for his final two years of high school. He had two remarkable years for Harvey hockey, leading the team in scoring both seasons.

In his senior year, Cian enjoyed one of the finest seasons any Cavalier had recorded. One of the team’s two senior captains, he led the Cavs in goals with 34 and total points with 55, and was selected an FAA All-League player for the second consecutive year. He helped lead Harvey’s 17-4-1 team to finishing tied for first place in the FAA with Rye Country Day — the first time in school history.

His senior year achievements and the team’s history-making success no doubt left an indelible feeling of fondness and pride for Harvey hockey. “Being a part of that unforgettable season is something we will all cherish together,” Cian shared. He said he will never forget Harvey hosting Rye Country Day at Evarts in the FAA championship game. “To see that rink completely jammed and to see students and teachers on the glass supporting the Harvey hockey community was something I took immense pride

in,” Cian said, adding, “I remember that week the school was absolutely buzzing with so much joy and excitement.”

Hockey was not Cian’s only sports passion. When he wasn’t picking up his hockey stick, he’d be twirling his long pole, and starring for Harvey lacrosse in the spring season, leading his team in scoring in both the 2017 and 2018 seasons, receiving HVAL All-League recognition both years as well being named NEPSAC Division III All-Star and NEPSAC All-American. He went on to be an all-conference player in lacrosse at Nichols College.

Now that he’s back on campus as an alum returning to his hockey roots through his coaching, Cian is pleased to hear of Coach Orr’s desire to more fully engage the hockey alumni community. He understands why what happens at Evarts means so much to his fellow alums. “Harvey hockey has a tradition that runs deep,” he said. “Seeing all the old pictures of players who paved the way before me is something that I was educated

on while I was a student here. The way the rink is built and the tradition it holds is so impactful to each player that laces up their skates for The Harvey School. It’s really a family-like atmosphere in that rink where you pretty much see the same people each day. It feels like my home away from home.”

Cian said he’d love to see alums continue to support the hockey program in any way they can, “whether it’s coming to home games and showing current players that there is a deep-rooted history of Harvey hockey, or even donating to the program if able to.”

Cian’s love of Harvey is rooted in more than just his memorable hockey and lacrosse experiences. He is grateful for the teachers he had at Harvey and regards them as the reason he chose education as his career path. “At Harvey I had some pretty impactful people take a chance on me, and from there I’m always willing to help people the way people once did for me,” said Cian, who is feeling very much at home at Evarts.

Harvey hockey has a tradition that runs deep … The way the rink is built and the tradition it holds is so impactful to each player that laces up their skates for The Harvey School.”

Harvey Community Gathers for Homecoming 2025

Autumn arrived right on cue on October 25 for Homecoming 2025, wrapping the campus in crisp air, fiery leaves, and an unmistakable sense of Harvey spirit. Harvey families cheered on our student-athletes, alumni returned to campus with memories in tow, and students radiated the kind of energy that turns a fall Saturday into something unforgettable.

Athletics provided the pulse of the day, and the Cavaliers on our varsity teams did not disappoint. One by one, the Harvey’s girls soccer, boys soccer, volleyball, and football teams delivered commanding wins — four games, four victories, and a sweep that sent cheers echoing across the fields and court. But the triumphs on the scoreboard told only part of the story.

Homecoming unfolded like a festival of creativity and connection. At the Family Tent, Carolyn Bean, English teacher and creator of the Harvey Grown elective course, shared her deep knowledge of sustainable gardening, guiding families through an eco-friendly activity that blended hands-on fun with environmental curiosity. Nearby, the Petite Art Studio welcomed young artists eager to paint, glue, and craft their own take on school spirit, while face painters added extra color and plenty of Cavalier pride to the occasion.

Community members browsed offerings from the Katonah Museum of Art, Auburn Jewelry, and Thrive Alliance, while the Community Service Club drew a steady stream of supporters to its bake sale. With onlookers watching in awe, acclaimed pumpkin carver Jessica Manfro transformed a giant gourd into a Harvey-themed sculpture — a generous gift made possible thanks to Harvey parent Sari Shaw.

Music, too, had its moment to shine. Members of the Harvey Chorus took center stage before the volleyball and football games, delivering a stirring rendition of the National Anthem that earned warm applause from fans and families.

And woven through the entire day was a familiar pop of Harvey blue and maroon.

The Harvey Swag Booth buzzed nonstop as students, parents, and alumni stocked up on apparel and gear — visible reminders of the pride that ties generations of Cavaliers together.

In the end, Homecoming 2025 felt like more than a celebration. It was a vivid reflection of Harvey itself: spirited, creative, welcoming, and grounded in tradition.

A place where community gathers, friendships deepen, and pride shines just a little brighter against the backdrop of a perfect fall day.

Alumni Barn Welcomes Alumni Back for Reunion Weekend

This year’s Alumni Reunion carried a sense of milestone celebration, marked by meaningful connections and a beautifully refreshed campus. Harvey alumni returned to a transformed setting, gathering in the newly renovated and dedicated Alumni Barn for an evening that blended nostalgia with excitement for the school’s future. Homecoming Weekend festivities kicked off Friday evening with a cocktail reception, where alums mingled, reconnected, and toured the new Alumni Barn, the Maury Leone Welcome Center, and the Weil House — all now anchoring the welcoming entrance to campus.

Saturday continued the spirit of celebration. After a full day of Homecoming activities and athletic victories, alumni gathered once more in the Alumni Barn for a sit-down surf and turf dinner. A highlight of the evening was the recognition of the Class of 1965, celebrating their 60th reunion and reflecting with amazement on how Harvey has grown and evolved since their time on campus.

A touching moment came when Mac Starring ’65 surprised former Director of Alumni Relations Sally Breckenridge (2002-2020) with a plaque honoring her enduring impact on their class. As Sally — also a past Harvey parent of Harold N. Muntner ’06 — accepted the tribute, alums rose in a heartfelt ovation, celebrating the relationships she nurtured across generations of Harvey graduates.

It was a reunion filled with gratitude, pride, and renewed connection — a memorable chapter in Harvey’s continuing tradition of bringing alumni home.

Harvey Perspective

The Value of a Skills-Based Experience

By Dr. Brendan Byrne, head of middle school

The journey of a student in the Harvey Middle School encompasses studying the core subjects of history, math, English, science, and world language, exploring electives such as graphic design, robotics, chorus, and forensic science, and pursuing extracurricular endeavors in the arts and athletics. While these programs are designed to be fun, educational experiences, the thread tying these experiences together is that our young students are learning, developing, and practicing essential skills that will set them up for success in high school and beyond. In our Middle School, we distill skills-based learning down to five main areas — collaboration, communication, critical thinking, curiosity, and creativity.

Though knowledge-based learning is still a relevant aspect of middle school, access to factual knowledge is at everyone’s fingertips, especially with the emergence of AI. Therefore, it is the skills that students are developing that will best serve them moving forward, and we define these areas for students so they can take ownership of their own development and grow their awareness of it. Collaboration involves students working with each other cooperatively and appreciating each other’s viewpoints. Communication helps students listen actively, speak clearly, and write coherently. Critical thinking challenges students to understand information, make inferences, and ask clarifying questions. Curiosity inspires students to investigate further, learn more, and dive deeper. And, of course, creativity inspires students to explore new, innovative approaches to problem solving.

All throughout our program there are examples of skills-based learning in action. For example, the speech contest highlights both communication through writing and public speaking. Science labs prompt students to practice collaboration and curiosity. The new chess elective inspires creativity, critical thinking, and collaboration. Even when students move into their after-school activities, collaboration and communication are evident in the theater productions and on sports teams.

“THE REAL MAGIC OF LEARNING IS WHEN MULTIPLE SKILL AREAS ARE BEING PRACTICED SIMULTANEOUSLY... These are the dynamic moments that help students grow and become valuable reference points for future learning.”

However, the real magic of learning is when multiple skill areas are being practiced simultaneously. In our Middle School, teachers aim to create lessons and activities that incorporate the development of various skills. Our teachers design projects that spark creativity and curiosity, incorporate collaboration with classmates, require critical thinking, and conclude with a presentation that reinforces communication in the form of speaking and listening. These are the dynamic moments that help students grow and become valuable reference points for future learning.

Of course, the work goes beyond the classroom as well. During the holiday season, the student government facilitated a food drive that yielded hundreds of donations. The project began with students thinking critically about how to help the local community address food insecurity. This led to communication among the student leaders who informed their classmates about the initiative and inspired collaboration among advisory groups.

If middle school is to truly prepare students for the changing landscape of education, then complementing a knowledge-based approach with one that is skills-based is critical. Fortunately, the robust academic and extracurricular program the middle schoolers at Harvey experience each day serve to enhance their growth in the relevant skill areas that will help them find success in high school and beyond.

The Adventures of Richard W. Montague ’48 Never Stop Exploring

The Class of 1948’s Richard Montague isn’t letting anything slow him down as he continues to embark on adventures around the world. We always look forward to having Richard share his explorations with the entire Harvey community.

In August of 2025, my wife, Verena (84) and I (now age 91) traveled to The Isle of Sylt. This German island lies in the North Sea off the southwestern coast of Denmark. This location is about as far north as Edmonton, Alberta, well above the U.S.-Canadian border! Sylt’s climate is made possible, in part, by the Gulf Stream. This offshore island (which also contains Germany’s northernmost point of land) is well known in Europe as an excellent location for summertime beach vacations. In some ways, the island of Sylt is to Germany what Cape Cod is to New England.

Technically, much of Sylt is the result of a geest formation, a geological landform which represents a moraine relic of the last ice age. There are several such geest formations along the North German shoreline that stretches from Denmark to The Netherlands.

In the photo at the top right, Verena and I are resting on one of the benches on the observation platform which winds down from the Red Cliff area of Kampen (a small village on the western side of this island) to the open beaches on the North Sea, which lie below the Red Cliff area. The Red Cliff area is near to the highest point on land on Sylt (the Uwe Düne, a sand hill which rises to ca. 170 feet in elevation). Consequently, the seaside cliffs in this area are very impressive. Verena and I were watching the sun set into the west over the North Sea shortly after 8 p.m. Always a wonderful sight to behold. We often like to view these sunsets.

For someone, like myself, who grew up in Connecticut’s Fairfield County, such an event is always novel since along the Atlantic Coast in the USA, one sees the sun

rise out of the ocean in the east! My wife and I asked a fellow visitor that evening, who was also witnessing the sunset, to snap the photo with my Apple iPhone.

As you can see in the pictures, the weather on this offshore island is always changing. The day before was warm, and Verena and I could enjoy strolling along Sylt’s beaches and then resting in one of those beach chairs (Strandkörbe), which are so typical of the North German coast line. They’re great to sit in! I was able to go swimming that day in the surf of the North Sea, where the water temperature was 68 degrees Fahrenheit. But look at how we are dressed for the sunset picture the following day! Great experience, and we hope to be able to do it again next summer. One has to be prepared, always, for changing weather on Sylt.

Verena and I have taken our summer vacations for many years on Sylt. This past summer we were very fortunate to have many members of our family (children and grandchildren) with us to share beachside holidays on this very remarkable T-shaped island. Sylt has an “open” north-south trending shoreline along the North Sea for upwards of 25 miles. One can hike along this western beach from the northernmost tip of Sylt to the southernmost tip of the island. This is quite a unique experience in over-crowded modern Europe.

One of the adventures I always enjoy undertaking is trekking along Sylt’s beaches to reach the northernmost point of land in Germany (55 degrees 3 minutes north), which lies near to the village of List. In many ways, Sylt’s western coast is still a very pristine region with little but North Sea water, the surf, the horizon, ubiquitous sand dunes, and the open sky.

I enjoy collecting visits to “geographical points” like Germany’s northernmost point of land (see photo on the opposite page). I’ve been to Germany’s southernmost point of land, too, but that’s a very different adventure since that point (border cairn #147) lies on the Haldenwanger Eck (corner). A strenuous mountain trek is required to a deserted location which lies atop a mountain saddle between Germany and Austria. The Haldenwanger Eck lies at ca. 6,160 feet elevation (more than one mile high). Not too many visitors trek to this point each year.

I remain totally convinced that one of the reasons for my own personal longevity (I was born in March 1934) is that I have remained physically active throughout my entire life and have always enjoyed (and still do) getting out into “off the beaten path” kinds of places. Keeping active and “exploring” is a major key to remaining healthy.

In Their Own Words

Profiles from the International Student Program

Hanna Choi GRADE 9 // GYEONGGI-DO, SOUTH KOREA

Although I was born in Los Angeles, California, my hometown is Gyeonggi-do, South Korea. My family consists of my mom, my dad, and me. Our family has traveled a lot to other countries since I was a child, so it made me have a dream to study and live abroad with a broader perspective, and it brought me here.

I have lived in Gwangmyeong-si for about 10 years. It takes only five minutes by car to drive to Seoul, the capital city of our country, so the transportation is really convenient. My hometown has a famous historical cave where many festivals and fairs take place. It was used as a mine for extracting gold, silver, and copper during the Japanese colonial period, and in 2011, our city transformed it to be a cultural landmark where everyone can enjoy and learn about its history.

My favorite subject is math because I can solve the problems just after understanding the formulas and concepts, and I can solve the problems logically and clearly. I’m in the Community Service Club now as I want to do something for other people that makes them always happy and makes us proud to be club members. Additionally, I did cross country in fall term, and I am taking free-form art after school.

At The Harvey School, I love to talk with my friends because they are all generous and polite. They helped me and understood the barrier of language, and teachers are all willing to help me when I ask questions. Even though it’s been just a few months, I see that Harvey encourages students to go forward and to challenge themselves and explore their dreams. It makes me expect a stupendous rest of the first year at Harvey and imagine my future with the great development that I might get in the future here.

In Spain, I love doing various plans with my family: weekend road trips, mainly to small coastal towns where we eat good food and walk by the sea; movie nights at home, cooking big dinners together, and going to the mountains for a long hike when the weather is nice. All of these experiences, first in Spain and now here, are allowing me to grow and find myself. I’m so excited for everything that’s still in store. I chose Harvey because I liked the option of having both a residence and a host family experience. I was also very excited about being in New York and the possibility of skiing during Christmas. It felt like a dream. I still remember the first time I came to this school. I felt nervous and excited at the same time. The building, the people, even the way classes worked — everything was new. I worried about making friends and understanding everything, and I felt a bit lost on the first days, but my feelings are very different now. I feel so much more confident and integrated. I know all my classmates, and I really feel that I belong here.

GRADE 12 // VALENCIA, SPAIN

My parents are Francis and Inma, and I have an older brother whose name is Carlos.

The two of us have always been very close; we talk about everything, and I know that I will always be able to count on him.

I live in the city of Shanghai with my parents and brother Justin (Siji) who is 6 years old. Shanghai is a big and popular city. The most iconic attraction is the Bund, famed for its view of Huangpu River and four landmark skyscrapers, which have become symbols of Shanghai’s modern history. I really miss Chinese food such as pork chop with rice cake, braised pork belly, and noodles. I like to eat different kinds of noodles like yang chun noodle soup and sour and spicy noodle soup. Shanghai is a fast-paced city with many skyscrapers while Katonah is a quiet town with natural scenery. In the first week, I missed my parents and faced some challenges in the classes, but I felt comfortable after the first week. What made it even more special was that I had never stayed in a dormitory before, so the experience of the dorm felt unique to me. Math is my favorite subject. I find it interesting because solving tough problems makes me really happy. I chose the Community Service Club. In this club, we can help people. For example, I wrote encouraging cards to children in the hospital. Volleyball was my after-school sport for fall term. Volleyball helped strengthen my arm muscles and improve

my flexibility. I chose to do after-school art for winter term. Playing piano is my favorite extracurricular activity. I enjoy drawing, watching movies, and chatting during any free time. I found Halloween to be interesting. I went trick-ortreating around the neighborhood with my host family. I saw that every house had decorated their gardens for Halloween. What I like the most at Harvey is the ninth grade Common Ground class. The teacher took students around the campus to find animals and plants. Also, I like doing the Field Guide Project posters about animals and plants.

I had high expectations of The Harvey School, in terms of language, life in the dorm, academic skills, and basically everything. The moment I arrived in Katonah, I was immediately struck by how much more beautiful the scenery and the Harvey campus are compared to the photos that I had seen. The campus has a refreshing and uplifting atmosphere, and what I find the most appealing is its convenient access to New York City. Being at Harvey allows me to enjoy fresh, natural air in Katonah, and the vibrant, bustling life in the city. I’m really happy with Harvey.

GRADE 10 // IBI, ALICANTE, SPAIN

My mom’s name is Gloria and she works as a civil servant.

My dad’s name is Antonio and he’s an architect. I have a little brother whose name is Martin and is 10 years old. My hometown, Ibi, is a small city but not too small, more or less 24,000 people. I like the Moors and Christians festivities, a week in which I can hang out with my friends from 8 a.m. to 4 a.m. the next day. There are a lot of parades of each troupe, organized as Moor or Christian. Normally, each troupe is based on some important knight or old civilization. The people who parade must costume themselves as knights. In the first days I was here at Harvey I felt nervous, but also excited. My favourite subject at Harvey is history because I love to learn about what happened a long time ago. I joined the Business Club because I want to learn about money. In the fall, I chose to play soccer because I love to play and watch it. I chose to ski in the winter term.

10 // GYEONGGI-DO, SOUTH KOREA

My family is composed of four people: my dad, my mom, my younger brother, and me. My younger brother is 14 years old and goes to middle school. My dad works in the hospital as an orthopedic doctor, and my mom manages a small cafe business.

Approximately 290,000 people live in the city of Suncheon, which is mainly known for its aesthetic and majestic landscapes of nature, including Suncheon Bay, and environmental animals. The most well-known Suncheon wild animals are the hooded crane and the mudskipper. These two animals are truly unique, and since the hooded crane is an endangered species in Korea, it adds even more special meaning to Suncheon.

My parents and I live in Gyeonggi-do. During vacation, we usually read a book or travel somewhere together. Gyeonggi-do is not as big a city as Seoul, but it still feels like more of a city than other places, especially since there are so many academies, stores, and apartments. My hometown is totally different from here in Katonah. First of all, the overall environment is completely different. In the United States, there are wide natural spaces while my hometown feels much more urban. Harvey’s first day was amazing. There were so many international students, and they were all kind and nice to me, especially my roommate. When I met her I was so happy because she was so very nice to me. My favorite subject is chemistry because I had learned some concepts from Korea and I’m pretty good at chemistry. I got 100% on every test! Since I want to major in nursing, I need chemistry and bio credit. The reason why I want to major in nursing is that my grandmother was a nurse and I want to help people who are in need. Now, I’m taking the Debate Club. When I was considering the club, I wanted to talk with American students and to improve my English skills. My fall after-school activity was soccer. I’m doing indoor track during the winter season to develop my stamina. Also, I’m going to apply for an extracurricular activity which is related to medicine. Lastly, if I have free time, I enjoy playing guitar and listening to music.

As time went by, I’ve adapted to an American’s perspective, which is very different from a Korean’s. It was hard to understand at first, but now I like the American perspective more. I like Harvey’s Study Hour system because I can do homework during that time. I also like that Harvey has so many activities that I can join. All the students and teachers are so nice to me and they always help me kindly when I’m in trouble.

in the Sports Club because I love sports and my friends are in this club. I chose to ski in the winter term.

At Harvey, I like how the teachers teach and the distribution of the classes, specifically that I’m in 10th grade and I can be with people of any grade in class.

Back home, I live with my parents and my four younger siblings. I have three brothers: Marwan, who is 16 years old; Zakwan, who is 11; Nadjwan, who is 5; and I also have a younger sister named Meyssane, who is 3 years old. My hometown of Saint-Denis is a small city and the capital of Réunion Island. It’s located near the sea. One of my favorite things to do where I live is going to the beach. The weather is warm all year. Life in Katonah is very different, especially with the cold weather, which I’m still getting used to! During my first few weeks as a boarder at The Harvey School, I felt excited. The transition was easier than I expected because everyone was so welcoming, and I adapted quickly. It is my first time in boarding school and I enjoy it. I also enjoy discovering new things and visiting new places. My favorite class is ceramics because I love working on art projects and creating things. I played soccer after school during the fall. In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my friends. I love how friendly and open people are. I’m really grateful for this experience and excited to see what the rest of the year will bring.

GRADE 10 // CARTAGENA, SPAIN

In my family, we are five people, my parents and my two sisters. My family and I love sports, hanging out with friends, and traveling. I love them because they are very similar to me. I live in Cartagena, which is the most beautiful city in Spain. My city is small, but I have everything I could ask for.

When I arrived, I felt so nervous because I thought I didn’t have a high enough English level to talk with people. But the next few days, by going to the Statue of Liberty and making plans with the international students, I started to talk more. The first days of school I didn’t know people and I thought that I was talking too much in Spanish because I came to America to speak and learn English. The first week my sister was in her friend’s house in New York, she came one day to school so she helped me to adapt, telling me to speak more and be more sympathetic when people talk with me. Now I have more friends and I feel really comfortable. My favorite subject is physics. In the fall, I was on the soccer team because I love watching and playing soccer and it is also a very typical sport in Spain. I’m

GRADE 12 // MILAN, ITALY

I live with my parents and my 20-year-old sister, Adele. Milan is a really big city, with a population of approximately 1.4 million people. I love the fact that everything you need is always so close: restaurants, shops, parks, and a lot of other things. Living in Stamford, Connecticut, is really different from what I’m used to. Here in the United States all the towns are really far away from each other, and if you don’t have a car you are a little bit stuck. From the first days on Harvey’s campus it’s always been great. I like living with people my age and almost everyone is really friendly.

My favorite subjects here are AP Macroeconomics and AP Statistics. I’ve never studied subjects like these before, and I think they could actually be useful during my life for what I want to do in the future. I find them really interesting and fascinating. In my future I would like to create my own businesses, maybe start with a start-up to build a financial base and then move to real estate and end up diversifying my investments in various businesses. I’ve always been fascinated by business and money in general, so I’m sure that this is going to be my path in life, and due to all these reasons obviously I joined the Business Club at school.

My favorite activity, for sure, is soccer. I’ve been playing since I was 6 years old. I played on the varsity soccer team in the fall term and we won the HVAL league championship. In the winter I play club soccer and do weightroom. During my free time I like to be productive and work on my personal growth. I also create some small businesses to learn as much as possible about this world.

In these first few months I learned that every place has a different culture and people can think differently from me. I enjoy almost everything here in America. I enjoy being always with my friends for the whole day and being responsible for everything I have to do.

GRADE 10 // XIAMEN, CHINA

I come from a warm and loving family in China. There are four members in my family — my parents, my younger sister, and me. We also have two adorable cats at home, one white and one black. They are like part of the family, always making our house full of laughter and life. The atmosphere at home is always happy and peaceful. My hometown is Xiamen, a beautiful coastal city in southern China. It’s famous for its clean air, blue sea, and delicious local food. There are many special dishes, such as sha cha noodles, sea worm jelly, and all kinds of fresh seafood. The Harvey School has had a long history, and the students in the dorm all get along very well. My favorite subject is history. I think history is the most challenging and interesting subject because it helps me understand the world and broaden my horizons. The teachers here are patient and caring about their students. Everybody has a chance to meet with their teacher and let them answer their questions. I am participating in the Fitness Club now because I have a hobby of working out, and I want to get stronger so that I can adapt to the basketball team’s winter season training.

Ella (Lingfan) Yi

GRADE 9 // BEIJING, CHINA

I live with my mom, dad, and my 10-year-old younger brother, Eaason. We love spending time together.

My hometown, Beijing, is the capital city of China and has a population of more than 21 million people. Beijing has many delicious foods, such as zhajiangmian and tanghulu. What I miss most about home is my grandma’s homemade zhajiangmian. It is really delicious! Katonah is completely different from Beijing. Beijing is a big city with many modern buildings, but Katonah is a quiet town surrounded by trees and hills, with a much smaller population than Beijing. When I first arrived at Harvey, I felt very nervous and lonely. Everything was new, and I didn’t have friends to talk to. But after a couple of weeks I felt much better. I made some close friends and they were very friendly and kind. They will help me when I have some problems, and now I feel comfortable and even look forward to school days. My favorite subject is math. I really like math because I enjoy the satisfaction of solving problems. I also find that calculating is easier than learning English. I hope to pursue a career related to math or art in the future. I joined the Community

Service Club where we made greeting cards for kids in the hospitals, and it’s rewarding. For sports, I played volleyball in the fall. I think my teamwork and quick reflexes have improved. For the winter after school, I chose art. In my free time, I play pickleball, badminton, and tennis. I like pickleball the most because I think it is lighter and easier than tennis. I also draw pictures and do jigsaw puzzles during free times.

The most interesting part of American culture I’ve experienced so far is Halloween. All the students wore funny and cool costumes and went trick-or-treating. It was so exciting. What I like most about Harvey is that everyone here is very warm and friendly. They not only help me when I face difficulties but also spend time chatting and playing with me, which makes me feel very comfortable.

GRADE 8 // HEBEI, CHINA

I live in Hebei, China with my parents and my brother. I have an older brother named Felix. He is 25 years old. My hometown is not big, but it has everything that you want to buy. There are around 750,000 people in Hebei. My favorite part of Hebei is hanging out with my elementary school friends. The difference between my hometown and Katonah is that my town is more convenient. I can buy everything I need and get delivery fast.

The first few days when I boarded I felt confused. But after a month I felt better because I found a group I can play with. I feel comfortable now because I found my besties who are in middle school.

My favorite subject is geometry because math does not need a lot of English, and because the class is very small I can relax and get more focused. For my future career, I have three ideas, the first one is medical examiner because I am so curious about forensic science. Another career would be psychotherapist. I want to be a good psychotherapist to save a lot of people. The third career goal idea is what all of the people want, which is to find a job that can earn a lot of money. I joined the Needlecraft Club because my friends have all joined and I want to learn new skills. I played volleyball for my fall after-school activity. It was so much fun being with the volleyball girls.

I like the culture here at Harvey because when I sneeze, even though we are strangers, the person says “Bless you,” and I like that. I also like Harvey’s education and attitude. The education is very good but also there’s a lot of homework to accompany it. The attitude is if a student has a problem, the teacher will fix it very fast and positively. The teachers are nice and outgoing. Harvey is the best school ever!

GRADE 11 // PHNOM

PENH, CAMBODIA

Back home, I live with my parents and two younger siblings. The nice thing about me and my siblings is that we are all three years apart from each other, with the oldest being me. I am 16 years old, my sister is 13 years old, and my brother is 10 years old.

Phnom Penh is still a developing city with a lot of construction. There are tall buildings everywhere, and a lot of traffic. Phnom Penh is very loud compared to Katonah where it’s mostly peaceful, which is nice. There are a lot of things for me to miss about my city — the food, the weather, the traffic, the relative closeness of everything. But if I were to choose the thing that I miss the most, I would probably say the people. There is not a day that goes by when I don’t miss my family and friends. The idea of coming to a new country alone always makes me feel like I have all the freedom in the world, until the feeling of homesickness sets in. I always try to keep myself busy to not think about it too much, and there is always something to do here anyway.

My favorite subject here is probably Statistics and US History, mostly because Mr. Paguada is a pretty great teacher and a pretty cool person in general, and Mr. Lazzaro is just great. I haven’t thought much about my career path yet, but the business side of things has always captured my interest, which is why I joined the Business Club. I am not much of an athletic person, but I did soccer in the fall, since it is the only sport that I watch and follow.

Overall, everything here is pretty great.

in my life. I wasn’t used to sharing my room with someone or eating this type of food. I was a little bit afraid and homesick but nowadays I’m more comfortable and glad to be here. My favorite subject is drawing because I love art and all that it can express. I’m in the Sports Club because I also enjoy doing physical activities and after school in the fall I was on the girls varsity soccer team. Soccer is a sport that I’d never tried before so I joined to see if I like it and to have a fantastic time.

In my opinion, the best thing here at Harvey is that here the people are so friendly and kind and everyone is disposed to help you if you feel lost or just looking for something.

My family is composed of my mother Marta, my father Xavier, me, my older sister Ares, my brother Eduard, and my younger sister Victoria. I really enjoy being with them and, although I miss them, I know they are very happy that I am here. I live in a tiny village called Alpicat in Lleida, a city next to Barcelona. I like it because there’s no noise and you can be relaxed, but if you need to buy some clothes or new accessories, you live next to a big city where you can find everything. The things that I miss the most from my home are my bedroom, my mom, the food like “jamón” or “tortilla de patata,” and my friends. My first day here was so strange because everything was new

GRADE 10 // SEVILLA, SPAIN

At home in Sevilla, I live with my dad, my mum, and my younger brother, who is 12. My family enjoys spending time together, especially on weekends when we have family meals or go out for activities. Living in Sevilla means celebrating many wonderful holidays together, like La Feria and Semana Santa, which are always fun times to reunite with friends and enjoy ourselves.

In my host family, we’re four boys — Ruggero, Piotr, Marc, and me — and, of course, our host, Señora Menacho, who treats us like we’re her own sons. For sports in the fall I played on the varsity soccer team and I loved it. I’m also looking forward to the rugby season this spring, which I think is going to be amazing.

In the few months that I have been in the United States, I have enjoyed discovering new aspects of American culture, especially the welcoming attitude of people at Harvey. The best part of my life at Harvey is making friends, sharing amazing experiences, and playing one of my favorite sports, soccer.

Adrian (Heongi) Yang

GRADE 11 // YANG-JU, SOUTH KOREA

I decided to study in the United States for a broader opportunity and better education, but, most importantly, to familiarize myself with English for a better access to the newer source of information. I came to this country three years ago, and I switched from the Storm King School to The Harvey School for my junior year because I wanted to expose myself more to the American system and culture. Storm King had a large population of international students, which I do not prefer

when it comes to adapting to the new environment in the USA. Harvey has a much smaller portion of international students and provides me with more opportunities to interact with domestic students, which helped me improve my English skills and adapt to the culture. My hometown isn’t so different from Katonah. It’s a few hours away from the big cities and has small towns and malls nearby. Art is my favorite subject because I have fun with it, but I’m not planning to major in it in college. I want to study brain science in the future because the vastness of our brain’s capability and creativity just fascinates me. I’m doing art for the winter activity because, again, I find it very interesting to do. I like my life in Harvey. The school has some great systems to keep track of my school work.

Lucas Marin Gomez-Hortiguela

GRADE 10 // MADRID, SPAIN

In Seoul, I live with my mom, dad, and my younger sister, Isabel, who is 13 years old. Seoul, my hometown, is a large and vibrant city with a population of over 10 million people. It is full of energy, culture, and convenience. There are always new places to visit, delicious food to try, and fun things to do. Compared to Katonah, which is quiet, small, and surrounded by nature, Seoul is much busier and faster-paced. What I miss most about my hometown are my family and friends. Since I also lived in a dormitory when I was in Korea, living in the dorm at Harvey didn’t feel very different to me. I was able to adjust quickly and didn’t have a hard time adapting. My favorite subject is art because it is what I enjoy the most and feel I am best at. Although I have not decided on a specific career yet, I do have a life goal. I want to help return cultural heritage items located abroad and establish a foundation to build orphanages around the world, sharing love and care with children. This is my personal life mission. I have joined the Debate Club because I want to hear different perspectives from students on various global issues and topics. This fall, I played soccer, and in the winter, I joined the Art Club. In the few months I have spent in the United States, I have found many aspects of American culture interesting and enjoyable. I especially like how friendly and open people are, and how there are so many opportunities to explore new activities and ideas. What I like most about my life at Harvey is the welcoming community, the supportive teachers, and the chance to spend meaningful time with my host family. Living here has been a wonderful experience, and I feel happy and comfortable in both my school and dorm life.

My family has six members. I live in Madrid with my dad, Enrique Marín, my mom Lucia Gomez-Hortigüela, my brother Nicolas, my sister Claudia, and my dog Paco. My favorite food is the tortilla de patata. I love doing sports like soccer, skiing, and wing foil. I’m a very active guy. Coming to school at Harvey, I have the experience of living in the States and learning English. I came to the United States because I wanted to live in America like a guy from here. I like that Harvey mixes a boarding school with an American house experience. Here in the United States life is very different from Spain. Life here is much more chill. In Spain all kids my age hang out all day after school in the city, but here it is different because people like staying in their own houses more. School is also very different. I love that being here you can do sports every day like soccer. Not like in Spain where you can’t practice or play every day. Here the school counts the homework and your participation and notes more whereas in Spain they really pay more attention to test scores.

I love being in the dorms during the week because I get to hang out with my friends, and I love being with my host family because I can sleep on the weekends! I am enjoying skiing in this country this winter and improving my physical condition in the weight room. I am also looking forward to improving my English.

GRADE 10 // ONSALA, SWEDEN

I grew up in Onsala, Sweden where I live with my mom and dad, who works as a business development manager at a medical company. We live only about 300 feet from the shores of the Kattegat (the strait that connects the Baltic Sea to the North Sea).

Onsala is a very peaceful town with a small population, pretty much the same size as Katonah, but I just miss the coastal closeness. I felt excited to come to Harvey and the United States and the transition wasn’t that big of a deal for me. My favorite subjects are math and physics as well as the Video Sketches class. For my extracurricular activities, I chose to join the short game Golf Club, hockey, golf, and weight room. After Harvey, I would like to go to college here in the U.S.

Teacher Ananda Burra Making an Impact

Harvey Middle School math teacher Ananda Burra was honored as the 2025 recipient of the Faculty Impact Award at the State of the School evening last September. Mrs. Burra was celebrated for her dedication, leadership, and profound influence on her students and colleagues.

Presenting the award was Head of Middle School Dr. Brendan Byrne, who said, “Mrs. Burra continues to challenge, motivate, and engage her math students. Not only does she work with our middle schoolers, but she frequently gives up free periods to help out former students who are now in the Upper School.”

As a respected and trusted colleague on campus, Mrs. Burra generously shares her time and knowledge with fellow teachers. “She has even been known to leave an encouraging note and piece of candy on a colleague’s desk from time to time,” said Dr. Byrne.

Given the profound impression she has made on our community, we can’t think of a better recipient of this year’s Impact Award than Mrs. Burra.

The Impact Award is a distinguished honor recognizing those who embody Harvey’s spirit, give generously of themselves, and make a lasting difference in the community.

Harvey Alumni

Rangers Alumni

Fundraiser

By Chris Del Campo

Evarts Rink Evarts Rink

was buzzing from start to finish Saturday, Jan. 10, as The Harvey School hockey alumni faced off against an all-star roster of New York Rangers Alumni in a fast-paced, highly skilled exhibition. It was an unforgettable showdown that combined elite hockey, community pride, and a shared commitment to renovating and preserving Harvey’s Evarts Memorial Ice Rink, one of Northern Westchester’s most cherished landmarks. The marquee matchup served as a fundraiser to support renovations to the rink facility, and by every measure, the afternoon exceeded expectations.

The event was made possible by Harvey’s Director of Hockey Programs & Outreach, former NHL player Colton Orr, who leveraged his background and connections to assemble an impressive roster of New York Rangers alumni to compete against Harvey School hockey alumni. The result was a truly star-studded lineup that drew a packed house and delivered an authentic big-game atmosphere.

The Rangers Alumni playing alongside Coach Orr included Adam Graves, Chris Kotsopoulos, Stéphane Matteau, Brian Mullen, Boo Nieves, Kevin Shattenkirk, and Marc Staal — each player generously donated their time as well as their game-worn, signed jerseys, which were auctioned to further support the fundraising effort.

Proceeds from the event will go toward critical rink upgrades, including realignment of the boards, fresh ice lines, locker room renovations, and other enhancements aimed at improving the overall experience of both fans and players.

“This event could not have gone any better,” said Greg János ’98, Harvey’s Director of Alumni Relations. “Putting together something special for our Harvey hockey alumni and ensuring our New York Rangers Alumni felt welcomed and at home was incredibly important.”

Game-day sponsors included Body Armor, Howie’s Hockey, Kanin, Old Town Barns, Wah Gwaan, and Wandering Dave’s.

Coach Orr described Saturday as “a truly special day at Harvey. It wasn’t just about raising funds to renovate the rink, but also about celebrating community. You could feel the buzz — kids were chasing autographs, and parents were reliving their childhoods as legends like Graves, Matteau, and Mullen glided across the ice.”

The hockey game itself lived up to the moment. The evening opened with a stirring performance of both the United States and Canadian national anthems performed by members of the Harvey Upper School Chorus. Once the puck dropped, the action was immediate and intense. Alum Richard Mack ’91 had the honor of dropping the first puck to start the game.

The Harvey alumni opened the scoring and carried a 2-1 lead into the first intermission after Rangers legend Adam Graves rifled a blistering shot off the post and into the net. Cavaliers goaltender Mark Siegel ’15, later answered with a highlight-reel save, robbing former Ranger Marc Staal on a breakaway to keep the game within reach.

With the Harvey alumni leading 6-5 late in the second half, the drama peaked in the closing minutes as the Rangers pulled their goalie for a six-on-five advantage, and even briefly snuck in a seventh skater to the delight of the crowd. Despite the chaos, Siegel stood firm. A loose puck kicked off the boards to János, who pushed it ahead to Brandon Hickey ’12, who then buried the empty-net goal to seal the 7-5 victory for the Cavaliers.

Beyond the final score, the night was defined by camaraderie and connection. Players skated with visible joy as they shared the ice with their hockey heroes. Autographs, photos, interviews, and stories filled the rink long after the final horn. The Rangers alumni were gracious, approachable, and genuinely impressed by the character and style of the historic rink, embracing the community with enthusiasm throughout the day.

While Evarts Rink is home to the Harvey Cavaliers, its reach extends far beyond the school. The facility serves figure skaters, local youth hockey programs, men’s leagues, learn-to-skate initiatives, and open skates for the broader community. That shared history is what made the day so meaningful.

“Harvey Hockey and Evarts Rink have such a storied history. As we continue to build this program, we’re committed to honoring that legacy while giving the next generation of players a place that inspires pride and passion,” Orr stated.

The game was fast, a little physical, and entertaining. The cause was meaningful. And in the end, while the Cavaliers alumni earned the win on the scoreboard, Evarts Rink, and the entire community it serves, was the true winner of the night.

Dear Harvey Alumni,

As we reflect on this publication’s theme, “The Power of Momentum,” I’m reminded of how far The Harvey School has come — and how high its trajectory continues to rise. When I graduated in 1995, Harvey was already a place defined by close relationships, dedicated teachers, and a culture that encouraged each student to grow into their full potential. Even then, there was a quiet but undeniable forward motion, a sense that Harvey’s best chapters were still being written.

Three decades later, I’ve had the unique privilege of witnessing that momentum through a new lens: as a Harvey parent. This spring, my son graduated as a member of the Class of 2025, and my daughters, now juniors, continue to thrive in an environment that has only strengthened in purpose, vision, and possibility. Their experiences highlight how Harvey has evolved — embracing innovative academics, expanding arts and athletics, and deepening its commitment to nurturing confident, compassionate leaders.

Today, Harvey stands at an exciting intersection of tradition and progress. Programs that once existed only in early stages have grown into signature strengths. Student opportunities — whether on the fields, in the studios, or in the classroom — are more vibrant and far-reaching than ever. Each strategic initiative, each expanded offering, and each success story contributes to a collective momentum that is pushing the school toward an even more dynamic future.

As alumni, we are part of that forward movement. Our shared history forms the foundation on which current students stand, and our continued engagement helps fuel what comes next. With pride as both an alumnus and a parent, I see the power of momentum at Harvey every day — and I cannot wait to see where it carries us in the years ahead.

Warm regards,

Lara Casano

’95, P’25, ’27, ’27, Alumni Association President

Rangers + Harvey = A WIN-WIN NIGHT!

Harvey alums brought their energy and spirit to Madison Square Garden in November for a New York Rangers game. The evening kicked off with a lively pregame meet-up at Bourbon & Branch, where more than 20 alums — joined by several past parents — caught up, reconnected, and shared stories with Harvey’s Director of Alumni Relations Greg János ’98.

Once inside the arena, the Harvey crew even spotted fellow alumni attending the game independently, who quickly joined in on the fun. And to top off an already memorable night, the Rangers clinched a win — perfecting an already exciting Harvey outing in the city. Mark your calendars for next fall — we’re ready to do it again!

RAPHAEL MIRANDA ’95

John DePalma ’01, Lara Casano ’95, Raphael, and Greg János ’98

Raphael Miranda ’95 returned to campus in November to meet with Harvey middle schoolers and talk about his career as a two-time Emmy Award-winning meteorologist with NBC 4 New York. With the seventh grade currently studying weather, it was an inquisitive group of middle school students who listened intently to Raphael talking about how he got his start as a meteorologist, his passion for predicting weather and tracking storms, and how he works with a team to keep the New York metropolitan area updated when storms are approaching. After Raphael finished speaking, he opened up the floor to questions. Students and teachers alike asked everything from how he predicts storms and bad weather, to what time he wakes up in the morning, and where he has to be when storms are hitting (the answer is directly in the action!). Students were also curious if anyone walks up to him on the street and complains that he got the weather forecast wrong (yes, they do!). It was a lively conversation that even covered the Northern Lights and the International Space Station.

Raphael graduated from Harvey in 1995 and began his career at NBC 4 New York in 2007, first as a weather intern before moving into production and on-air roles. His coverage of Superstorm Sandy in 2012 earned him his second Emmy. He earned his first one for coverage of Hurricane Irene.

Raphael appears regularly on MS NOW, the “Today” show, “NBC Nightly News,” “Early Today,” “Weekend Today,” and “CNBC World.” Fluent in Spanish and Portuguese, Raphael also appears on NBC’s sister station Telemundo 47, delivering the weather forecast in Spanish.

Raphael graduated from New York University with a degree in Spanish, and also received degrees from Brooklyn College and Mississippi State University in broadcast journalism and geosciences/meteorology. He is a member of the American Meteorological Society and holds the National Weather Association Seal of Approval.

Philip Sayres ’55

August 3, 2025

Essex — Philip “Phil” Cooke Sayres Jr. died Aug. 3, 2025 while vacationing with his family in Idaho. He left his wife, Starr Ellsworth; two daughters, Aurelie Sayres of Oregon and Minta Watson (Matthew) of Bermuda; and three grandchildren, Isabella, Emma and James. He is survived by his sister, Barbara Williams (Staunton); his niece, Jennifer O’Leary (Kevin); and nephew, Timothy. He is also survived by his beloved sister-in-law, Ann-Toy Ellsworth Broughton (Porter); and brother-in-law, Timothy Ellsworth (Janet). He was predeceased by his mother, Ruth Hopwood; and his father Philip C. Sayres of Old Lyme, Connecticut.

Phil attended the Westminster School, Boston University and the University of Hartford.

Phil was a gifted builder and carpenter who loved working with his hands and had an affinity for like-minded people. In his early married life, he set about building a home for his family,

learning the trades by seeking the knowledge and experience of others and reading “how-to” books. He had a talent for inventing a better way to do things, and developing new systems and tools was among his greatest joys. He willingly shared his knowledge as chair of the building committee for a large school renovation project in East Haddam, Connecticut.

Phil loved the creatures of the wild, celebrating the arrival of bats each evening, and could often be heard summoning the owls or chatting with the turkeys. His friends knew him as “Country.” He adored his children and grandchildren, happily accommodating rides on the backhoe, floating makeshift boats in the brook, or sledding on a winter’s afternoon.

An avid skier and lover of symphony, opera and fine art, Phil was a steadfast gentleman to his last day. And no one ever made a better gin and tonic! (Published by The Day on Aug. 29, 2025.)

He graduated from The Harvey School, received his Bachelor of Arts in History from Curry College (Milton, MA), and his Masters of Science (Middle Childhood Education) from Mercy College (Yorktown, NY).

George worked at Yorktown Beer and Soda for many years and then started his career with the Peekskill City School District working as a one-on-one teacher’s aide. George loved working with special needs children and approached each day with morning smiles and greetings..

FORMER FACULTY

John J. Dunford

August 30, 2025

John Joseph Dunford of Brewster, New York, passed away peacefully at the age of 80 August 30, 2025, in Danbury, Connecticut.

John was born May 2, 1945, at Danbury Hospital. He was the son of John Thomas Dunford and Marion Scolpino of Brewster, New York.

A lifelong Brewster resident, John graduated from Brewster High School in 1962. He bled Brewster Green and was the Bears’ biggest fan. John was the president of his senior high school class and remained heavily involved in BHS activities throughout his life. Following high school, John attended Merrimack College in North Andover, Massachusetts, where he earned his bachelor’s degree in 1966. He often shared fond memories of his college days and the lifelong friends he made there.

John was happily married for 59 years to his high school sweetheart, Phyllis (Mennonna) Dunford. The couple were married January 23, 1966, in a memorable ceremony held during a blizzard at St. Lawrence O’Toole Church. The couple went on to hold many other notable events as they loved entertaining and socializing.

John’s career spanned several industries and always reflected his deep commitment and loyalty to people and the community. He owned and operated a driving school in Brewster in the late 1960s and then went on to teach at The Harvey School in the 1970s. He later served as the Customer Service Manager at New York State Electric & Gas (NYSEG). In addition, he and his wife Phyllis started the Brewster Village Florist, which operated from the mid-1970s to 1996.

George is survived by his loving wife, Norine (Charlonis) Cameron; his mother, Agnes Cameron (Ossining, NY); his brother, Duncan and Erin Cameron (Montross, PA), his nieces, Cadence, Madison and Abigail; and his godmother, Aunt Mary Bruno (Greenwich CT). George is preceded by his father, Edward Madison Cameron III and his brother Edward Madison Camerson IV.

George will be remembered for his love of hockey, especially the New York Rangers, as well as his love of reading all things history. George had the ability to treasure and enjoy the small things in life: a good book, a tasty meal, a suspenseful TV series, heavy metal music, good friends and, of course, a NY Ranger win. A loyal and loving husband, son, brother, uncle and friend, George’s kind heart and caring spirit had the ability to make anyone around him feel comfortable and welcome.

George, you were loved by many and will be missed. Thank you for the memories, your friendship, and your love.

John’s greatest legacy came through his decades of public service in Brewster and the Town of Southeast. He was elected mayor of the Village of Brewster, serving from 1977-1979, and later held multiple terms as a Southeast Town Board Councilman. He also served as Commissioner of the Putnam County Board of Elections. In 1988, John brought the Big Apple Circus from Lincoln Center to Brewster High School, where he was famously seen riding an elephant.

Finally, John served a four-year term as the Town of Southeast Supervisor from 2003-2007. In recognition of his many contributions, the John J. Dunford Civic Center in Southeast was named in his honor. He also co-authored the first history book of the Town of Southeast, ensuring that the story of the community he loved would be preserved for future generations.

His gift for making every encounter, whether at the grocery store or post office, a connection with those faces familiar and unfamiliar, made him not only the literal mayor, but also the mayor of the people. He will be deeply missed by family, friends, and the countless members of the community whose lives he touched.

John will be remembered for his charismatic personality, quick anecdotes, gleaming smile, and infamous dance moves, which were loved by many. He had a way of making others laugh while also sharing wisdom.

John is survived by his wife Phyllis, his sons: Mark Dunford of San Diego, California; Jonathan Dunford and Kristen Kulas of New York City; Adam and Katelynn Dunford of Newtown, Connecticut; and his two grandchildren, Emily and Jack Dunford of Newtown, Connecticut. He was predeceased by his sister Ellen Jane Knox.

A Memorable Alumni Reunion Weekend — A Reflection on Connection and Momentum

Dear Harvey Alumni and Friends,

As the dust settles on our wonderful 2025 Homecoming and Alumni Reunion weekend, I am filled with gratitude and pride for the moments we shared, the connections we rekindled, and the generous support that continues to strengthen Harvey’s momentum. This past year marked a particularly meaningful chapter in our alumni engagement efforts, and the reunion weekend reminded us just how powerful our community can be when we come together.

We recognized our milestone reunion classes, including the extraordinary 60-year celebration of the Class of 1965. Their continued dedication to Harvey exemplifies the lifelong connections that define our community and the enduring legacy each class leaves behind.

My heartfelt thanks to all those who supported our fundraising initiatives, including our November Day of Giving. Because of your dedication, Harvey continues to make tremendous strides in expanding scholarships, enhancing innovative programs, and improving campus facilities. The impact of alumni leadership in groups such as The Captains Society and The Cavaliers Society is especially meaningful.

Whether through annual leadership gifts of $1,000 or more or consistent long-term support, your involvement makes an immediate and measurable difference in the daily experiences of our students.

Looking ahead, I warmly invite all alums and past parents to join us for any of our upcoming events throughout the year. Whether you attend regional gatherings or return to campus for Homecoming festivities, performances, athletic competitions, or volunteer opportunities, your continued involvement strengthens our community and fuels the momentum that defines Harvey today.

Thank you for being a vital part of the Harvey family and for the many ways you continue to uplift and support our school. I look forward to the connections we will renew, the memories we will create, and the momentum we will build together in the months and years ahead.

With warmest regards,

Five Harvey alums and current college students participated in a College Panel Discussion on January 5 at Morning Meeting while home for the winter break.
