At the conclusion of this morning’s Opening Assembly, the Class of 2027 marked the start of their senior year with another Wheeler tradition: a group photo followed by the Senior Sprint! 💨💜💛
Well done, Class of 2027 — and here’s to a wonderful senior year! 🎓

And now for one of the most spirited traditions of Opening Assembly: the Color Sorting Ceremony! 💜💛 New members of our community found out whether they’ll be cheering for Purple or Gold this year, with some enthusiastic help from our mascots 🦁 🐮, who made sure the crowd was ready to celebrate!

Head of School Mark Anderson P’27 kicked off Opening Assembly 🎉 first with a few selfies with the Class of 2027 and the crowd; then he reminded new and returning students that they belong here, and that the power of our community comes from being kind to one another and doing the right thing. “I know it’s going to be a great year!” said Mr. Anderson, before passing the mic to several Upper School student leaders, who took turns offering advice and inspiration for the 2026–27 school year.
A common theme was the importance of being present in the “now” and appreciating both the good moments and the challenging ones, knowing that each (like this morning’s rain) will eventually pass — wise reflections that even the adults in the room could appreciate!
Up next: Color Sorting! Stay tuned! 💜💛
