Brandon and Greg Take the New Tandem for a Spin...


If you stopped by the Frazier House this afternoon, you would have seen a group of students (Paige, Eliza, Lexi, Ryan, Patrick) eagerly assembling Paige's new tandem bicycle. The New Guy (aka Brandon Mazur) and Greg were among the first to take it for a spin. Needless to say, they didn't get very far. Apparently the tires were still rather flat the breaks were "WAY too loose."

I have a feeling this bicycle will log many miles around campus in the coming weeks.

The optimist eats alone

Since spring term has started 'The Optimist Club' had been eating lunch outside everyday. Sometimes they're joined by lots of others, other times not so much.

Another day, another workout.

Probably too early in the spring for these expressions, but maybe we were just hungry.

Mardi getting ready for USST tryout

Today Mardi and John went to Jay Peak to sharpen her skills to get ready for the USST DTeam tryout. Mardi did a progression of the skills quest drills and is ready for round 2 next week. Great job today.

Spring has arrived!

It hasn't exactly felt much like spring around here with a string of cold, windy, snowy or rainy days since the season officially commenced last month, but perhaps that's exactly how spring in the NEK should feel.

Yesterday was different, and a group of staff skinned & hiked up the mountain to celebrate the gorgeous April afternoon.



There's still plenty of snow on Dippers and Warren's Way!

Welcome Back to School!

After a two week spring break, students and staff returned to school and kicked-off the spring term with Reading Period on this Monday morning. It appears that Warren and Charlie slept-in quite a bit during their breaks and are having some difficulty adjusting to the schedule change...

 
Parents and families, we hope that you enjoyed having your child/ren home for a bit! It's good to have everybody back on campus and we are looking forward to another BMA spring!
