AROUND CAMPUS It may look like Saturday Night Fever, but the girls above are blowing off some 'mid-term exam steam' during a much-needed session of Zumba. The Upper School students were treated to a study break last week that included activities to nurture their bodies and their spirits. Holton faculty and staff offered this break from studying for exams as a way to teach the girls a balanced approach to studying. In addition to Zumba, activities included pool games, yoga, a walk around campus, and guided meditation. (Because really...can you think of a better way to find your moment of Zen than by meditating in the Simm's Reception Room?) Sixty-eight Lower School students and family members found themselves making sandwiches as part of the Lower School Day of Service on Monday. In celebration of Martin Luther King Jr., the girls gathered in the dining hall and under the guidance of Mr. Bane and Ms. Poon made hundreds of sandwiches to be delivered to Martha's Table - a local non-profit dedicated to creating positive outcomes in the lives of others. (Sounds like our kind of place!) Last week at morning gathering the girls learned that Dr. King's definition of greatness is to serve others and we have to say...you all definitely achieved greatness on Monday! Have a great week and stay warm. Oh! And if you are looking for something fun to do indoors this weekend why not create a piece of artwork for Mosaic - they are due Monday.
