	11/13/2008 - Head's Holiday! Randy Houseman said to me last year, "There are three times when I am really envious of your job, and those are the three times when you get to announce a Head's Holiday." This year is somewhat unique in that I was in NYC and had to work with Mr. Macomber and use email to announce the day. Regardless, hopefully it will be a day of rest and getting ahead for...   View
	11/12/2008 - It's athletic transition week at Holderness, and most of our teams have put away the soccer balls, footballs, running shorts, mountain bikes, climbing gear (but not all the field hockey sticks!) and are getting ready for winter sports. It's a time to rest for some, and a time to play for others anxious to get some fun time on the basketball court or the hockey rink. Above,...   View
	11/11/2008 - In the hands of the right teacher, Smart Boards can be great for demonstrating concepts in new and interesting ways. As they also allow faculty to save their lessons for later viewing by students, they can also be great for a student studying for a test or out on a college visit. Above, math teacher Vicky Stigum uses the Smart Board in her lesson to her Algebra 2 class....   View

	11/8/2008 - Tabor Day dinner is a festive meal, where teams sit together, the dining hall is decorated with balloons, music is playing, and everyone is in great spirits. In addition, faculty and staff do all the jobs so the students can enjoy the night off from work. Some teams even dress for the occasion. The girls JV 1 team dressed like the 80's.

	11/8/2008 - Bonfire! One of the highlights of Tabor Day is the bonfire. After study hall last night, we went to Hagerman and saw a sports slide show, laughed at a Tabor Day video, and enjoyed two skits by the improv team. After short team meetings, everyone went to the Southside where we gathered around the bonfire. As is evident in this picture, the seniors set the tone. They cover t...   View
