	4/24/2010 - Spring Dress for Boys! Yesterday Ashleigh Boulton presented a proposal to the administrative team that we allow the boys to move to spring dress code.

As part of Ashleig...   View

	4/22/2010 - This morning, as students and faculty walked into Schoolhouse, they were greeted by large arrows on the carpet made of Dixie cups. The arrows led to Mr. Teaford's and Ms. Brewer's classrooms. Inside Mr. Teaford's classroom, we found hundreds of Dixie cups on his table, each filled with water. A few cups held colored water, spelling out "M.M. Prom?" A few paces down the hal...   View

Today after the girls convincingly beat Gould in their varsity lacrosse game, they surprised Ben Lewis, Coach Lewis, and all of the fans by singing Ben Happy Birthday!

	4/19/2010 - Head's Holiday! A variety of factors came together this morning to make today a Head's Holiday, a day of rest, relaxation, and friendship that happens three times each year.

	4/19/2010 - Head's Holiday Baseball! Because of the Head's Holiday today, we canceled all classes, practices, and most athletic events. The two exceptions to canceled events were varsity golf and varsity baseball. Although Mother Nature provided us with lots of sunshine today, the temperature never got much above 50 degrees. Needless to say, that didn't keep Holderness s...   View
