Annie Dwyer, our dance teacher, has often talked about the close connection between dance and sports. Our soccer team is experiencing firsthand this reality as they learn Hip Hop moves from Ronnie West. As a result of an idea of Annie's, they have worked with Ronnie for the past few Friday afternoons. "It's really hard to remember which move comes when," remarked one happy soccer player. I appreciate their willingness to step into what for most of them is uncharted territory.
On a hot afternoon, Jonathan Henderson's Samba class could be found drumming at Millar's Bluff.
In our freshman Biology classes, students have been studying the life cycle and characteristics of life. If you are on campus, I hope you will check out the display outside Frances Brindle's room. I learned a lot!
Our Senior Service class is enjoying a giant take-apart project as they dismantle one of the bridges that crosses our stream. It will be their job this term to build a new bridge. Each year, our seniors choose a service project on campus. We look forward to watching their progress as these hard working seniors learn the intricacies of bridge building.
What's coming up this week? Our Fall Sports Day is this Friday. Friday will be a Spirit Day in the Upper School as we all wear our school colors: green and white. All of our teams will have home games Friday afternoon. Food trucks will be on hand. I hope you will be able to join us as we support our sports program and cheer for our teams.
Just a reminder about our DC trip on Thursday, September 27th. The cost is $45, which should be turned in to Willy Rotella. Willy is also collecting $15 from students who are signing up to take the PSAT, which will be held on Wednesday, October 17th. Scholarships are available for each of these events.
THE WEATHER IS COOLER. WE HAVE A FULL WEEK OF CLASSES AHEAD OF US. FALL SPORTS DAY IS FRIDAY. OUR THEME OF CAMPUS STEWARDSHIP IS GOING WELL.
I HOPE YOU HAVE A GREAT WEEK!
