Happy New Year!



At the school’s Opening Faculty and Staff Meeting, Middle School English Teacher, Assistant Director of Athletics for Middle School, and Varsity Track Coach, Pete Jennings delivered a provocative treatise on time and quoting Rudyard Kipling’s poem If, reminded us that “If you can fill the unforgiving minute with sixty seconds’ worth of distance run, yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it.” Pete says, “Kipling seems to be challenging us to recognize the hard truth that time moves on, and really our only choice is to cram whatever we can into each of these finite moments.”  To enjoy the whole convocation address, please click here.
