THE JOHN COOPER SCHOOL<br />
FROM CURIOSITY TO WISDOM<br />
VOLUME ONE // ISSUE ONE // WINTER 2020<br />
CONTRIBUTORS<br />
This issue includes a<br />
feature that looks at<br />
the part of our mis-<br />
sion charged with developing responsible leaders and<br />
citizens. The Assistant Heads of each division – James<br />
Choi (Lower School), Elisa Inman (Middle School) and<br />
Gillian Crane (Upper School) – each offer a perspective<br />
on how leadership is nurtured in our students.<br />
Jane Choi teaches<br />
science to kindergarten<br />
through second grade<br />
students. She writes in this issue about<br />
the benefits and outcomes of a collabo-<br />
rative project with Cooper’s Food Services<br />
Department that was initiated last summer.<br />
Students, faculty and staff who eat lunch on<br />
campus are reaping the delicious benefits of<br />
this collaboration.<br />
