Before wrapping up break, students and faculty gathered for one last dinner together. With some students departing early due to a wintery forecast, everyone remaining on campus gathered together including students, faculty, and their families.
Friendsgiving Community Dinner
Friendsgiving was a family style dinner in Memorial Dining Hall. Students sat with their advisory and made room for additional friends so that every table was full.
Gratitude
As a reminder of the importance of the upcoming holiday, and in order to take some time reflecting on our community, each table was set with a card and pen. Over dinner, students took time to write notes and share their gratitude for other individuals in our community.
Thank You Faculty
Most of the notes were written to a member of our faculty. There is much that we are grateful for within our community, but students are right to take a moment and say thank you to the teachers that work around the clock to support our school. Whether in the classrooms, houses, studios or on the fields, court and ice, our faculty love what they do and they are dedicated to the education and success of their students.
Happy Thanksgiving
We eat many meals in Memorial Dining Hall, but the family style of Friendsgiving and most of our community dinners, helps us slow down and enjoy on another’s company. With Thanksgiving right around the corner, it seems appropriate to kick off the holiday with our close friends, trusted mentors and teachers, and also share our gratitude for Husky Nation.
Happy Thanksgiving from New Hampton School.
