	2/27/2010 - With power out in the South Side dorms, what was "usual" for a Friday evening got turned upside-down. The girls in Macomber dorm, for instance, found their way last night into the Macomber's living room for a spontaneous slumber party in front of their fireplace, which had been "cozy-ing up" the place since the afternoon. We hope to see the power back on ac...   View

	2/24/2010 - Yesterday, Mr. Teaford's 11th grade English classes were outside learning how to build a fire. The purpose was twofold. First, from a literary perspective, one needs to know about fire-building to truly understand the plight of Christopher McCandless - the real-life protagonist in Jon Krakauer's "Into the Wild," the book currently on the radar for all junior English classe...   View
	2/24/2010 - And the word for the day is snow. A winter storm came in last night, and dumped wet snow on us all day, forcing Mr. Galvin to cancel the majority of today's games and causing everyone to bundle up as they moved from class to class. The weather did provide great packing snow for a quick snowman (or is it a bull?) out on the Quad in front of Weld. Happy snow!...   View

Head's Holidays give everyone a break from the regular schedule, and help re-energize us fo...   View
