A view of Winchendon - Mountain Day 2009

Mother Nature treated us to a spectacular fall day today as The Winchendon School community took time to climb Mt. Monadnock. It was a wonderful day, made even more spectacular by the success of some initially reluctant climbers who ultimately conquered this southern New Hampshire pile of granite. The hike and the aches were worth as the view was almost unlimited in all directions, including back to our own Winchendon School.
The quick break came at a perfect time after five weeks of hard work and tough practices. The festivities started with last evenings surprise announcement at what was billed as an all-school Global Dynamics film viewing. That actually proved to be a an ice cream snack and a school viewing of "Remember The Titans", which almost all including your writer were captivated by. This morning people slept in, wolfed down a big brunch and then went off to climb the rock. This evening it was back for a special dinner which all seemed to enjoy.

I send a special thanks out to Mr. Magay and his helpers who pulled off another flawless Winchendon adventure.
