Moments from the Penultimate Week of School

It is only a four-day week this week because of Memorial Day on Monday, but we have squeezed a lot in! Unfortunately, "we" (meaning "I" had to make the final decision) had to cancel Lower School Track and Field Day due to rain and soaked fields--the first T+F Day cancellation in my tenure. Mrs. Sewell and Mr. Vorsteg will do their best to get in as many events as possible during the remaining PE classes. Also this week....Middle School exams, Pilot Class Fathers' Day Coffee, 10th Age Closing Exercises practices, the final Board of Trustees and Alumni Board meetings of the year, and a terrific retirement party last night for Eileen Batt, Debbie Frey, Marie-Camille Havard, and Karen Burdnell!

I also had the pleasure of having four 7th graders in my office...and no, they were not in trouble! They won "lunch in Mr. Martire's office" at the Middle School points auction. We enjoyed some delicious Eddie's sandwiches (I had the cobb salad wrap without onions--always a good choice) and talked about exams and summer plans. It was an enjoyable lunch during a very busy day. You can see the happy boys in the picture below.
