Ms. Doolan is a science teacher at Jonathan Law. She has been teaching for two years and is excited for the many more years to come. Doolan has taught Biology, Environmental Science, Chemistry & the Earth System, and The Living Earth while at Law. She attended Seton Hall University, which in her opinion is the very best school in the Big East Conference. She has major Pirate Pride because Seton Hall is the better blue in her eyes. At Law, Doolan has helped out with the Science Club. Last year, she was able to attend the Science Olympiad competition with the team and assisted in the Disease Detectives section at the competition.

Doolan has also become a huge fan of the Law basketball teams this year. It started when she played in the student vs. faculty game in the fall and then continued when she turned English teacher Ms. Kelly into a basketball fan so she would have someone to go to the games with. Doolan and Kelly went to most of the girls and boys home games and had a ton of fun playing in the Cornhole Tournament. She also went to watch the girls’ incredible win against Berlin in this year’s state tournament, which was followed up with a celebratory dinner at Chick-fil-a (because, as she says, it’s better than Wendy’s) in her hometown of Newington!

Alexis Broderick: Why did you become a teacher? 

Ms. Doolan: I became a teacher because I have always loved working with kids. I started working with kids as a camp counselor at YMCA Camp Mohawk in Litchfield, CT when I was in high school. I still work at the same camp over the summer but I’m now the Leadership Development Director in charge of the Counselor in Training program. It was while I was working as a counselor that I realized how much I love working with the adolescent age group, which is why I went into secondary education!

AB: What do you like most about teaching? 

MD: I have two favorite things about teaching. I love teaching science because of the “aha” moments that happen when my students are able to think critically about the content we’re studying and apply it to the world around us. Because after all, science is everywhere! My other favorite thing about teaching is the connections that I am able to make with my students. I love all of the random conversations that I have with my students because that’s when I get to learn more about them, what they love, and who they are as people!

AB: What are you doing to pass the time at home? 

MD: I am planning, grading, and contacting my students every day. My favorite part of our virtual school day is when I am able to talk with my students that show up to our google meets. Besides distance teaching, I am spending a lot of time with my dog and my parents. I also gave myself a haircut a few weeks ago. I was just going to trim the split ends but ended up taking off a good amount! I’m trying to get outside as much as can, especially with the nice weather we’ve had recently. I’ve been doing everything from taking a short walk with my mom and dog to going on a five mile hike with Ms. Kelly. I also plan on teaching Ms. Kelly how to play basketball soon so stay tuned to see how that works out!

AB: What is your favorite Netflix show or movie that you recently watched?

MD:I’ve been watching a lot of sitcoms recently. I’ve started watching “The Good Place” and “Schitt’s Creek.” I’ve also been rewatching “Parks & Rec” and “The Office.” I really like these shows because I can kind of just have them on in the background while I’m doing other things!

AB: What do you want to say to your fellow teachers and students?

MD: I miss you all so much and I can’t until we can be all together again in person! I hope everyone is staying safe and healthy. Enjoy the beautiful weather that we’ve been having by getting outside and doing something fun! I’ll see you when I see you, and I hope I’ll see you soon!

Mr. Zuraw has been teaching at Jonathan Law High School for 16 years – two years as an intern, student teacher, and long-term sub, and 14 years as a teacher. This past year, Zuraw taught Humanities and AP United States Government and Politics, but has taught many other courses during his time at Jonathan Law.

Advocate Staff Reporter Adarsh Senthilnathan interviewed Zuraw about his career and his time in quarantine.

Adarsh Senthilnathan: Why did you become a teacher? 

Mr. Zuraw: I never wanted to be. It wasn’t until after my freshman year of college that I realized that’s what I wanted to do. I’ve always liked history, and after being an orientation leader for incoming freshmen over the summer after my own freshmen year I loved working with kids that age. So liking history + loving working with teenagers= history teacher.

This pandemic has been especially devastating in the United States, but what’s happening in the rest of the world? Advocate Editor-In-Chief Morgan Taylor interviewed Lauren “Lozza” Pendall from Australia, who is planning on working in the United States at a sleepaway camp this summer, to see her experience.

Morgan Taylor: What is your country doing to prevent the spread of coronavirus?

Lozza Pendall: We are practicing social distancing and giving fines to anyone is out for non-essential reasons – or driving to somewhere that is non-essential. You are also only allowed a max of two visitors in your household at any one time.

MT: What does a normal day look like for you before this pandemic?

LP: I was working everyday – lifeguarding and swim instructing for normally 8-10 hrs a day and on days off I would go to the beach with friends to swim and surf.

MT: What has been the biggest change for you personally?

LP: Not working as all pools have been closed and trying to adjust the the income I get from the government (which is a lot less).

MT: What are your thoughts about how this could potentially impact your experience at university or in your career afterwards?

LP: People will be hesitant to come back to the pool (as some sources have said Coronavirus can be spread through chlorine) as well as being able to travel and work overseas, i.e. camp because Australia has banned all international travel.

MT: What made you choose to come to a camp in the United States?

LP: My old swimming coach said he did one at my age and loved it and said I should give it a go. So I applied later that night and was hired at Camp Canadensis by the end of the week.

Rachna Vipparala is a junior at Jonathan Law High School who recently won the Yale Bassett Award. She is a member of National Honor Society and the founder and president of Science Research Club. Vipprala also enjoys volunteering at homeless shelters and hospitals. Advocate Editorial Editor Mia Cerrato interviewed Vipparla about her recent award.

Mia Cerrato: What is the Yale Bassett Award? 

Rachna Vipparla: The Yale Bassett Award honors the legacy of Ebenezer Bassett. Born into a Native American (Schaghticoke) and African American family nearly two hundred years ago, Ebenezer Bassett excelled at the Connecticut Normal School and at Yale, where he pursued courses in mathematics and classics in the 1850s. 

MC: How did you apply? 

RV: I was nominated by an anonymous member from the Yale community. The application process consisted of a resume, three essays, and a recommendation letter. Over 1,000 students were nominated across the nation and 20 are selected.

MC: What made you stand out from other applicators? 

RV:  I definitely think that my emphasis of giving back to the community is what made me stand out. A lot of my work involves socioeconomic disparities in both Milford and cross the world, which was what I think made them interested in my application.  

MC: What does this award look for?

RV: According to their website, Yale Bassett Award looks for high-school juniors who demonstrate a record of creative leadership and public service, academic distinction, interdisciplinary problem solving, and experience addressing societal issues that might include, but need not be limited to, race and racism. Students with non-traditional leadership experiences or significant work

MC: How did winning this award make you feel? 

RV: I applied for this award with very low expectations because of how selective it was. So when I received the email that I was one of the 20 students who received an honorable mention from the Yale Bassett award I was super shocked and beyond excited for this opportunity.

By Morgan Taylor – Editor-In-Chief

This pandemic has been especially devastating in the United States, but what’s happening in the rest of the world? Advocate Editor-In-Chief Morgan Taylor interviewed Molly Bugler-Ward from England, who is planning on working in America at a sleep-away camp this summer, to see her experience.

Morgan Taylor: What is your country doing to prevent the spread of coronavirus?”

Molly Bugler-Ward: Social Distancing when we have to go shopping for essential items but also lockdown. We aren’t allowed to leave our homes until absolutely necessary.

MT: What does a normal day look like for you before this pandemic?

MBW: I will get up around 7:30 a.m. and get ready for university. Get there for 8:30 a.m. and do a full day as a Musical Theatre student. I would finish at 6-7 p.m. and then go back to my flat and make dinner, hang out with my flat mates and chill out.

MT: What has been the biggest change for you personally?

MBW: The biggest change was not being able to see my friends and outside family. I am always out with my friends at the beach, park, food, even just a drive and now I’m unable to see any of them I feel very confined and trapped in my house.

MT: What are your thoughts about how this could potentially impact your experience at university or in your career afterwards?

MBW: Especially for me as I am on a Musical Theatre course I would get private singing classes and acting and dance lessons for 1 hour and 15 mins everyday. And because I’m not getting the training I’m afraid that it will have an effect in my fitness and stamina. However, we are doing online classes so I am able to motivate myself to continue my practical studies.

MT: What made you choose to come to a camp in the United States for your summers?

MBW: I’ve ALWAYS wanted to come to America and work at a camp to influence children and show them my “culture” and make an impact on children’s lives. Anything that I can do to help children have an amazing summer as an escape, a break and have fun and just be yourself.
