He wrote for The Courant, the school newspaper, since his sophomore year and was the Sports Editor as a junior. This year, he was one of the Editors-in-Chief. Outside of journalism, he was the goalie and one of the co-captains for the varsity soccer team in the fall, and was also a board member for the Service League of Boys, a club at the school. As a junior, he was the Publicity Coordinator for the club where he wrote multiple newspaper articles about different events that the club participated in, and this year, he was the Parliamentarian. He also played volleyball this spring. Next year, Sam will be attending Bates College, and his twin brother, Will, will be attending American University. Over the summer, he is a lifeguard at Waveny Pool and Kiwanis Park.

Friday Night Lights proved an ideal time to attend New Canaan’s annual May Fair due to an early closure caused by rainy weather on Saturday. Children and adults of all ages gathered at St. Mark’s Episcopal Church to go on rides and eat a variety of the fair’s classic foods ranging from hot dogs and pizza to cotton candy and ice cream. Kit Devereaux, one of May Fair’s organizers, said Saturday’s rain had a positive effect on the fair insofar as it brought crowds in earlier. “Friday Night Lights, in its third year, was the most successful we’ve ever had,” she told NewCanaanite.com.
