At USASA National Championships, she came in 3rd in Boarder-cross.   Chloe was invited to be on the Pacsun USASA Snowboard Team for the 08-09 season.  This is an elite team of the top 22 male and female riders under 19 in the country!  Chloe was one of 3 girls chosen for the boarder-cross team.  Congratulations on a great season Chloe!

Wilbur Brown

The Lowell Whiteman School lost a good friend and board member last week when Wilbur Brown passed away.  Wilbur was one of the first campers to enroll in Lowell’s A Western Camp for Boys and a long-time trustee of the school.   Walt Daub, Head of School stated “I will miss Wilbur’s loyalty to the school and his ever-present sense of humor. Wilbur loved the school and what we stand for.”  Wilbur’s devotion and contributions to the school will long be remembered.                                                                                              

Chemistry Chaos
Chemistry might seem daunting to most but not to Mrs. Hoff’s Intersession class. While learning about the geometry of molecules,  students constructed balloon atoms and paper hats to demonstrate the structural components of elements
