At the end of every Marlborough school year, students from grades 7-11 get the chance to vote on who they want to represent the eight positions on All-School Council. The members chosen last spring are very passionate about bringing their own ideas to the 2025-26 school year.
All-School President Rainey Renwick ’26 strives for a stronger connection between all grades, as she herself is leading by example by already making an effort to foster an environment where students can feel comfortable interacting with their All-School President.
“I wanted to be Marlborough’s All-School President so that not only I would be in a position to truly advocate for people, but also so that I could make people feel comfortable and know there is one person on campus who is always ready to talk to them — even if we have never met before” Renwick ’26 said.
Meredith Kisker ’26 shares this goal of fostering community as this year’s Wellbeing Representative. Kisker has previously, and still is, involved in Teen Line, a peer-to-peer hotline that provides support for teens, and wanted to bring that experience to Marlborough. She also wants to make Marlborough a more stress-free campus so students feel supported throughout their learning process.
Kisker is currently working to ensure that wellbeing is represented throughout the entire school by advocating for more relaxed school days on campus, such as pajama days.
“At the end of the day, wellbeing isn’t just about your mental health, it’s about your physical wellbeing too,” Kisker said.
Ever since being the 7th and 9th Grade Athletics Representative, Addison Seidel ’26 has looked forward to running for the All-School Athletics Representative position. Seidel partakes in three sports at Marlborough and she hopes to continue Marlborough’s athletics newsletter, as highlighting Marlborough athletics is one of her goals for this year.
“School sports should be a place where athletes can go and have fun and have a break from their really competitive outside school experiences,” Seidel said.
Similar to Seidel’s love for athletics, Arts Representative Sylvie Spivak ’26’s involvement in the Arts Department inspired her to run for the position. Spivak hopes to bring more representation to Marlborough Arts through social media, as she believes it is the most beneficial way to spread information about the department.
“We also want to work to create opportunities for the visual arts program and the performing arts program to work together,” Spivak said.
Lorelei Davis ’26 is another leader on council who hopes to bring awareness to her department as Environmental Representative. Thanks to her mom, who influenced her love for the environment, she has developed a genuine interest in helping make a change in our ecosystem around Marlborough. Some goals that she has are continuing the advocacy for no plastic utensils and eliminating the waste that is accumulated at Marlborough.
“It’s a genuine interest in doing things that are better for the environment, especially if I change just one habit that’s tiny, but if everyone can change it then we can make an even bigger change,” Davis said.
Community Partnerships Representative Maddie Moon ’26 believes that it is very important to continue to foster connections outside of Marlborough and advocate for areas that need more support around Los Angeles.
“Having the position of All-School Community Partnerships is crucial because Marlborough does not have community service hours that you need to track, and that’s because community service is so accessible at Marlborough,” Moon said. “There needs to be a position that reinforces that to ensure that everyone is doing their best to help out.”
Middle School Representative Kensi Renwick ’29 has always been interested in leadership at Marlborough and bonding with older students, for she is a younger sister of two Marlborough students herself. One of her main goals is to make sure that Marlborough feels like a comfortable and welcoming environment, specifically for the Middle School because there are more upper schoolers.
“When events and ideas are being planned, I try to think of myself in 7th grade,” Renwick ’29 said. “I think, ‘What would make me feel the best if I were a 7th grader, what would make me feel safe, what would make me feel welcome?'”
Assembly Coordinator Mila Klein ’26 says that she has always been drawn to the sense of community at a girls school. Some of her goals for this year’s All-School Meetings are having a better plan for introducing speakers, find ways to keep meetings engaging and staying organized.
“I’ve never seen any other school, not even in terms of university level, where it is required on a school-wide basis, to hear from such amazing speakers talk about really important topics,” Klein said.
Ever since 7th grade, this year’s All-School Communications Representative Ruby Fox ’26 has been excited about advocating for her role. One of Fox’s most valuable skills is time management, specifically when ensuring the weekly emails are informative, and sent on time, in order to set the tone for the week ahead.
“I love being able to connect with different grade levels, both within the council and just from my emails. It is always exciting to see people respond well to the emails and give any kind of feedback,” Fox said.
This year’s All-School Council will be working hard to advocate for the goals and ideas they have in order to make the upcoming school year one to remember.
