You may
find this hard to believe, but today is day 18 of the 2012-2013 school-year. That
means that we have already completed 1/10 of the school-year. Didn't we
just start? I guess it is true what they say - time really does fly when
you are having fun!
I just
wanted to let you know that our annual Advisory Kick-off Day was
a resounding success! Here are some highlights:
· I spent a wonderful
day getting to know the Class of 2016 and watching them work a s a team to
solve different tasks. I found them to be polite, respectful and kind
young men and women.
· Our sophomores spent a
great day doing community service throughout Hull. They painted at
Wellspring, did fall clean-ups and other chores at the senior and C Street
housing, helped get the Sunset Point Camp ready for the winter and painted
railings up on Strawberry Hill. In the word of one resident of the senior
housing (who left a message for me here at school), "This was by far the
finest, kindest and most concerned group we have ever had up
here."
· Although the boat was
a little late, the juniors and seniors had a great day exploring Boston and
many of the colleges located there. One
student, who listened to Mr. MacKenzie and Mr. Sivo give a tour of the Freedom
Trail said, “Yeah – it was actually good.
There is some pretty cool stuff that happened in Boston.” I couldn’t agree more!
I hope you are enjoying the beautiful start of the
fall. I look forward to seeing you soon.
