We Love It When Our Alums Drop By!

Last week John Kwak, class of '06 and member of the first eighth-grade graduating class, dropped by and shared his news with Assistant Head of School, Aaron Cooper. John is a senior at Peddie School and has begun the college search.

Where Would We Be Without You...

Our thanks, today, to the volunteers who helped write letters on behalf of The Apple Tree Fund in the Morrow House library.

Getting To Know The Instruments

At yesterday's assembly in The Little School, Elisabeth Morrow music teachers had a chance to introduce the sound of their instruments. After which, students may elect to take classes for that particular instrument.

"Henrietta Hudson"

"Here's the story on how Henrietta got to my room. Ms. Malmstrom, our technology teacher at Morrow House, found this stray bunny in her driveway after she came home from Family Field Day. She called me as I was pulling into the Boat Basin garage on my way home from the event. I told her to try and capture the rabbit. If it was domestic then it wouldn't survive very well in the wild. She did, and she brought her in the next day. I wonder if the father was a wild bunny???" ~Dr.Day

Originally named "Hudson," the rabbit's name had to be changed to "Henrietta" since he, or she rather, had babies. The family currently resides in Dr. Day's classroom. The babies are well looked after, shown here nestled comfortably in staw and Henrietta's fur.

Getting into Pickles
