24 Hours of Activity!

The successful events listed below all occurred between Friday afternoon and Saturday early evening:
  • a home track meet.You are correct in thinking that we do not have a track on campus! However, that fact did not stop us from hosting a multi-school, multi-event meet on the Krongard Field. The field was lined and cut for sprints, distance, and the shot put.
  • Girls' A lacrosse beat Bryn Mawr in the season finale.
  • the 7th grade girls had a sleepover in the Middle School with four (very brave!) chaperones.
  • Girl Power Club had its final (3 mile) run on Saturday morning--6 half-mile laps around campus. Ten girls (ranging between 9th Age and 5th grade) completed the run, along with their running buddies. I completed the run without an injury so that was a big personal success.... :)
  • Two hilarious shows of the 7th grade comedy Baby, Baby, Baby, Oh No! The plot?  There is a death threat on French President Nicholas Poirot’s life, and the French Police Department needs help in foiling the plot and saving the incoming President’s life. The Chief of Police enlists the help of party planners, La Chique Soiree, and The Justin Bieber Band, to help protect the President during the inauguration party. Clumsy and egocentric Inspector Clouseau is asked to go under cover in The Justin Bieber Band, which requires him to look and act as “American” as possible. Congrats to the performers and the directors (Mr. Hardesty and Mrs. Williams) for a job well-done!
