Adelphian Summer 2021

Letter from the Head of School Summer 2021 Dear Reader: Welcome to Adelphi Academy of Brooklyn’s Summer 2021 edition of The Adelphian — the Academy’s award-winning art journal. This inspiring collection of original student writing, photography and artwork serves as a creative complement to the academic lessons being learned on a daily basis inside the classrooms at Adelphi. A 2020 American Scholastic Press Association award winner, The Adelphian continues to thrive thanks to an ever-expanding supply of creative work from talented Adelphi students and staff. Here you’ll find an impressive variety of original artwork and creative writing — from short fiction stories to works inspired by #AdelphiStrong, the theme of our end-of-year musical revue. Also included are a number of truly incredible photographs taken by our very own students and staff, including the overall winner of the Fifth Avenue BID’s National Photography Month Photo Contest, snapped by Adelphi Upper Schooler Isabelle Zak. I hope you enjoy this very special collection, which serves as but a small sampling of the wonderful work being done throughout the year at Adelphi. Happy reading! Sincerely, Ms. Iphigenia Romanos Head of School 2 Cover Art by Erika Xiang, Grade 12
