The group returns to Naples on Monday, October 24, and participating students will host their new BIS friends in March 2017.

CSN Celebrates Six National Merit Commended Students ![]()
In addition to the seven members of the CSN Class of 2017 who are National Merit Scholarship Semifinalists, we are proud to announce that six others have been named Commended Students! They are Katja Gilman, Aaron Harris, Bruce Nakfoor, Zachary Tretter, John Vito and Meghna Yadav. In late September, more than two-thirds (about 34,000) of the approximately 50,000 high scorers on the PSAT/NMSQT® received Letters of Commendation in recognition of their outstanding academic promise. Although Commended Students do not continue in the competition for National Merit® Scholarships, some of these students do become candidates for Special Scholarships sponsored by corporations and businesses. What wonderful models of academic excellence!

Get Your Robots Ready!
Get Your Robots Ready!![]()
Nearly 20 ambitious CSN students from grades 2-5 invested several hours on a recent Sunday morning learning how to program Dash and Dot robots in preparation for participation in the second annual Wonder League Robotics Programming competition. In addition to gaining hands-on experience with computational thinking, these students are developing their creativity and persistence, as well as their collaborative and problem-solving skills. Over the next 45 days, these dedicated students will invest three more Sundays and three days over Thanksgiving Break in order to complete all of the competition tasks. Last year approximately 1,000 teams competed. This year, over 5,200 teams from across the globe have thrown their iPads in the ring. The top-scoring teams will win a $5,000 grant for their school and Dash robots for each team member. We wish our programmers-in-training the best of luck!

Three of our Upper School students, Bridget Denzer, Victoria Gendron and Kirill Kuznetsov, have made it into the Florida 9-10th Grade All-State Concert Orchestra! To put this in context, only three students made it from all of Collier County, and all three are from CSN! Their past and present CSN Strings teachers, and all the rest of us, are immensely proud of these students for their hard work and determination. This is truly an amazing accomplishment for them. The Orchestra will perform at the FMEA conference in Tampa in January.

Dr. Johnson reports the fantastic news that his former student, Welles Harris ’16, currently studying at UNC, was one of 34 in the world to receive a perfect score on the AP Macroeconomic exam last May. According to the College Board, his performance “was so superior that it falls into a very select category.” Out of 135,000 test takers, just 0.03% achieve this result! The College Board letter goes on to say, “We applaud your hard work, diligence, and enthusiasm and wish you many future successes.” Welles himself wrote to Dr. Johnson to say, “Thank you for being such a great teacher and for sparking my interest in economics.” Congratulations Welles!

Sophomore Emma Feehery won gold at the Class 1A State Championship meet on November 11 in the 500-yard freestyle. She will be in the record book as the first gold medalist for CSN in the history of our Swimming and Diving program! Her swim of 4:49.00 also qualified her as an All American, meaning her time is in the top 100 of all of the high school swimmers in this event. She cut six seconds off her personal best in the race, after taking a silver medal last year in the 500-free. Emma also finished 9th in the 200-freestyle for the second consecutive year. The Naples Daily News chose Emma “Prep of the Week,” saying she is “Collier County’s sole gold medalist in girls swimming this season. Prior to Feehery, the program has never had a swimmer win a gold medal.” Congratulations Emma!
