Candidates and Colors

This will be a quick post as there is much going on this morning including a visit from the fire department as someone decided to toast an oven mit(?) on Jaffe 2. All is fine and our thanks to the fire fighters who were responsive and good natured as usual. I did want to share a couple of photos that Elliot Harvey took yesterday as they capture some of the excitement on campus:
While much of the country is focused on Obama and McCain, here at Winchendon we are in the midst of our own campaign season as students run or Student Council President and Vice President and other positions on the council. The competition is thick with many entrants. Speeches will be Wednesday night with the voting scheduled for Thursday. Stay tuned for the results!

We are just off of a terrific Parents Weekend. More will be coming on that. I would be remiss not to mention the success of the soccer teams on Saturday. JV Soccer fought back from a two goal deficit to tie Vermont Academy and the Varsity Soccer team continued their undefeated streak by beating Hoosac School. Tomorrow the Varsity takes on Andover. We all be helping getting excited for that with a Winchendon Green Day scheduled for the students and faculty tomorrow.

Finally, mother nature is treating us to a beautiful fall, as evidenced by the picture that Elliot snapped from East Wing yesterday afternoon. Should we be charging more for rooms with a view like this?!

Have a good day.
