This weekend has been action packed for our boarders. After the delights of hot chocolate, whipped cream and marshmallows on Friday evening, the community came together to support the school's annual Open Day event, which was a great success. We were delighted with our boarders' outstanding manner; parents commented on their enthusiastic and welcoming approach as they proudly toured the house.
Saturday sports and a trip to town was followed by some evening respite - indulgent movie majesty in the form of Disney's live action Beauty and the Beast! The magic of 'Tale as Old as Time' sweetened the minds of our boarders as they slept, before awaking to Sunday's activities. Mrs. Curtis and Mr. Thatcher thoroughly enjoyed the company of our boarders as they participated in a 'good morning' Benchball tournament, then happily prepared and cooked their own Sunday lunch! To cap off the afternoon, a treasure hunt was completed around the grounds; this was enjoyed by all.
