	5/8/2009 - Happy "Cinco de Mayo!" Well, all right, it's a few days ago, but it's still a great picture.

We had (non-alcholic) strawberry Margaritas, guacamole, salsa chips, a pinata filled with candy, key lime pie, som...   View
	5/8/2009 - To the winners go the spoils, or so the saying goes. Webster Dorm, victorious in the Winter Carnival 2009 competition, earned themselves a week of no dress code, and they decided to cash in this week. And they picked a nice one with the generally pleasant spring weather. Congratulations to Webster; enjoy basking in your glory... in t-shirts and shorts. Above the cre...   View

	5/6/2009 - Latin's at it again. Over the past several years, Latin classes at Holderness have engaged in a variety of interesting spring activities, trying to understand (in the words of Latin scholar Mr. Kendall) "how the other half lived." These have included a set of preliminary aqueduct arches, a human-powered chariot, and a medieval siege engine, to name a few. Last nigh...   View
	5/5/2009 - Holderness welcomed a new member to the community a few weeks ago. Mr. Benjamin Lewis was born to Admission Director Tyler Lewis and history teacher Renee Lewis on April 21. Everybody's happy and healthy, and we were thrilled to see the entire family on the sidelines and in the dining hall this past weekend. Above, Ms. Lewis shows off Ben on the sidelines of the tu...   View
	5/5/2009 - Happy 40th birthday, Lori Comeau! Every now and then, one of our faculty or staff celebrate an important "landmark" birthday, and their friends make sure that it's celebrated appropriately. Such was the case today, as Larry Gosselin came in early to put up balloons and decorations and students sang "Happy Birthday" to an embarrassed Lori at lunch. Above, a quick pic...   View
	5/4/2009 - Friday the Class of 2009 engaged in what has become a Holderness tradition: Senior Skip Day.

Activities were varied under the cloudy skies. Many seniors walked to the Boston Aquarium and s...   View

	5/2/2009 - Yesterday at assembly, AP Biology students Jack Hyslip '10 and Ji Eun Sung '10 provided the student body with a thoughtful - if somewhat light-hearted - introduction to the H1N1 virus. Their presentation addressed the virus's history, transmission, symptoms, current geographical distribution, common misconceptions, and what we can all do to prevent its spread. It wa...   View
	4/30/2009 - At Monday morning's chapel, Laney Hayssen '09 shared a personal statement about her own journey to faith, talking about her struggles with religion and doubt.
