Modified Sports Take to the Field

Grades 7 & 8 can participate in HAC Athletics modified sports program. This is a great opportunity to learn physical skills as well as what it means to be a good teammate. Go Wolves!

One Fish, Two Fish

Grade 2 has been reading about fish, studying how fish breathe underwater, catching crayfish in the creek, adding fish, subtracting fish, and on Wednesday they drew and painted real fish; a delightful and aromatic undertaking for all. Thursday, Mrs. Sharman and Mr. Cinquino piled class into cars and headed out to the fish hatchery.

Colleges Want Our Students

The hit parade of college visits has begun, and our Upper School students are (wisely) taking advantage of the onsite opprtunity. By the end of the year, we’ll have roughly 80 schools sharing information and answering questions in small group settings.

Upper School Bonds at Aerial Adventures in Bristol

Ziplines, tight rope walks, ladders & bridges challenge our oldest students as they work together in multi-grade groups. The goal? Forging relationships with students across grades (and fun, of course).
