School News Hour of Code/Girls Who Code In December, Trevor participated in its 2nd annual hour of code. Joining millions of students worldwide, hour of code was a 60-minute introduction to computer science, designed to demystify code and demonstrate that anyone can learn the basics. To engage younger children, Trevor brought in guest speaker, Ashley Gavin, from the organization, Girls Who Code. Ms. Gavin immediately caught the group's attention when she explained how she helped to build a robot that secured buildings affected by the 2011 earthquake in Japan. She further explained how computers are an integral part of almost everything that the students use every day—from microwaves to video games—helping them reimagine computer science as a fun activity and a cornerstone to their worlds. at West 88th Street, hour of code was in full effect as MS students gathered in the common room to explore GroK learning courses, including emoticon Madness! and Disease epidemic!

Gender, Your Kids, and Trevor e Diversity committee of the Parents Association works tirelessly to produce a year-long series on a particular diversity topic. is year's theme is Gender, Your Kids, and Trevor. e series explores how gender affects the way children approach learning, perceive their options in life, conceive their identity, and interact with others. e goal is to spark discussions at school and at home, as children tend to embrace the message more when they hear it in both places. e Gender, Your Kids, and Trevor series includes these visiting speakers: Derrick Gay, an educational consultant with 15 years of independent school experience as a senior administrator and teacher. he serves as a resource to independent schools on issues of community life, diversity, and inclusion. Peter Kuriloff, a professor at the University of Pennsylvania Graduate School of education, whose areas of expertise include gender dynamics in schools, their impact on the opportunities of children, and the reinvention of schools as more inclusive and effective places for students. Rosetta Eun Ryong Lee, a diversity consultant and Middle School science teacher at Seattle Girls' School, and a nationally recognized speaker focused on ending gender bias in education, particularly for girls and women in STeM. e Diversity committee will also screen two films, which parents and students can attend together: Miss Representation explores the under-representation of women in positions of power and Boys Varsity Soccer Wins NYCAL Championship 2014 was a banner year for Boys varsity Soccer. e Trevor team went into the NYCAL semi-finals with a record of 6-8, facing the #1 seed, lycee Francais de New York, who had remained nearly undefeated the entire season.
