Welcome to ANI In the Air, Under the Tent and Around Baltimore, your daily podcast briefing of all the goings ons, ins and arounds, arts and ideas, Sudbury School.

So, today was another beautiful day out here under the tent.
0:14
We missed the morning because I had another admissions interview. We are still going like crazy.
0:21
We're kind of at the point where anybody knew, we're kind of saying, "Well, we're going to have to deal with it later in the fall."
0:30
I think we're pretty much at our limit, so that's pretty good.
0:37
Hopefully in the fall we'll have a good strong start with any luck, not having to worry too much more about this pandemic stuff.
0:46
Fingers crossed. But it's looking pretty good.
0:51
I was looking at the numbers today. It's like 1% positivity rate. Maybe like 3 new cases in the city.
1:00
And almost like no deaths from COVID now. So, we've really turned a corner and it's wonderful and amazing.
1:10
Let's see. Yeah, so I don't know what happened in JC. I imagine it was a fine thing as always.
1:20
We did have school meeting where we did change some things for JC Clerk. Namely, JC Clerk would no longer be able to vote.
1:32
So, instead we'll just rely on the team more.
1:41
We've kind of added another person to the minimum of the team to make sure there's enough people voting.
1:48
The idea was essentially, well, one side of it was the JC Clerk could have too much power by doing that.
1:55
I don't really like that because I don't think JC Clerks have used it or anything.
2:00
But I do think that a lot of times the weight of it falls on the Clerk to keep it moving when it should really be the team that's making motions and moving forward.
2:14
It passed and so we'll see how it goes. Still need to find a JC Clerk for the rest of the month.
2:23
I guess it's good to have this change before we get a new one so we can mention that when we ask for JC Clerk.
2:32
And then, I guess all the staff passed for the staff election returning, which is good.
2:49
What else? There's also a beach trip got funded today in school meetings so hopefully that will get the word out for one day or another.
3:05
And then, let's see, yeah, really gorgeous day out here. The snowball stand continues to be popular.
3:19
What else? Yeah, I guess the yearbook is nearly off to the printers so that's pretty exciting.
3:31
There's another fantastic yearbook. I was just looking at some of the older yearbooks and remarking on how nice and wonderful it is.
3:39
In the moment, I tend not to appreciate it as much but certainly having something to look back and be like "Oh yeah!" is kind of cool.
3:49
Anyway, and of course as I'm looking at it or whatever and thinking about my yearbook picture for this year, I was like "Oh, I could have done this!" Oh well.
4:01
Anyway, I had the idea of, this is not what I did, what I did was just a very simple photo of me and my friend Chuckles the Snowman in front of my house when we were all online.
4:17
But my idea was to do a 1980s computer, green text, black background, and just do a little zoom shot in that. I think that would have been cool.
4:35
Would have been a good marker of that. Wouldn't be funny. But anyway, such as it is. Anyway, I guess that's about it.
4:47
I guess I never actually, because I was out last week, I never mentioned that we did have the thesis panel last week and all the graduates defended it and as far as I know all of them had a great time with good feedback.
5:02
And certainly I did get a chance to talk with the panel afterwards and they all were impressed and over the moon with all of our graduates.
5:09
So a good time I think was had by all and it's a really great process and really loving the fact that it's not a yes or no thing but just really genuine feedback.
5:20
Which is pretty much, you know, the most useful thing to really get.
5:30
Anyway, so that's Wondrous Wednesday. I mean, that's Wondrous Wednesday which I made a recording of already and it was basically on the wonder of kids making decisions here at school.
5:49
Simply because that's what they did yesterday for the staff. So I think that's just fantastically wondrous.
5:57
all right uh you all have a good one and i will see you when i see you
