Camila was never one to play sports as a kid. She always blamed her inadequate hand-eye coordination for constantly getting hit in the head with a dodge ball during P. It was safe to say that Camila was not cut out for being an athlete. But that did not mean, that she did not like watching sports. Camila loved the competitive aspect of the game and cheered constantly each time Lauren got a hit or made a good defensive play. Although Camila loved being a spectator,she found it hard to relax while watching her play.
All of the worst case scenarios popped into her head of Lauren getting hit by a pitch or of her breaking her neck while diving after a ball.
Alright Camila knew that example was crazily obscene and outrageous, but she could not get these ideas out of her head. Now ten years after high school, Lauren is back on the field and Camila could not be more ecstatic. Except this time Camila is here to watch their daughther, Peyton, play softball for the first time. Lauren and Peyton had formed a quick and unbreakable bond since birth. Camila swears that Peyton is an except replica of her wife. If she did not go through the seven hours of child labor, Camila could have sworn that Lauren gave birth to their daughter.
After seeing several pictures of her mom playing softball and hearing stories about her softball experience, Peyton decided that she wanted to play. Lauren readily agreed to be the coach, because she really missed her days on the softball field.
Today was Opening Day of the Season and the three Cabello girls could not be more excited. She nervously bounces her leg up and down as she watches her daughter play catch with another girl to get warmed up before the game.
Stop shaking your leg. I know its one of your nervous habits. She has me out there with her and you know I will do anything to protect her. I love watching you guys play but I always get worried no matter what. You should probably get going, it looks like your team needs you. Lauren blushes and turns to walk away while throwing a thumbs up over her shoulder. It is finally game time and Camila can barely contain her self.
She was only seven years old, but could easily make contact with the softball and cleanly field a ground ball. For instance, Ms. In addition, when I came home the other night, my dorm was busy carving pumpkins in the backyard.
I had no idea how creative they would be with their carving! It was a well played game with lots of fan support! This year I tried to plan it so it fell at a time when everyone needed a break, and the day would give seniors a chance to finish their college applications—especially those applying early decision and early action. Part of the day is finding two students to help ring the chapel bell.
I found Alec doing strength work at in the gym, and Terry, who lives in Webster, came out into the hallway when I went into his dorm. We only had one problem. When Terry and Alec pulled on the cord, the entire cord came down.
Pictured here: Alec and Terry are both excited for the day, but disappointed they were unable to pull the cord to ring the bell. Holderness continues to value our student athletes doing multiple sports and not specializing.
Dopp was a remarkable example of that model. During college Ms. Dopp played varsity volleyball, varsity basketball, AND varsity softball, wow! Dopp is a remarkable example of that model. Congratulations Ms. Many thanks to our Sustainability Coordinator, Elizabeth McClellan, and her support team of students to bring back composting to Holderness.
Here is what the compost bins look like: A few major things to remember: 1. Please do not put utensils, plastic, recyclables, or cartons in the compost. Meat, eggs, fish, and dairy are not compostable. A good rule of thumb: If it came from an animal, probably not compostable. Anything else is fair game. Whether it is our biomass plant, or our several acres of solar panels, sustainability is a priority for Holderness.
Thank you Ms. McClellan for bringing the importance of sustainability to our daily lives. On Saturday morning, we gathered the whole school together with the Board to celebrate the Davis Center. Finally Andrew Davis talked about why he believes in Holderness and his hope that our current students will believe and support Holderness after they graduate.
On Saturday evening, we enjoyed a second celebration for the Davis Center. That event was to thank the many donors who made this dream a reality. On Sunday we celebrated the opening of a second remarkable facility, The Mittersill Performance Center was designed by Holderness alumnus Evan Mullen '00, and the fundraising effort was led by Board member Chip Martin ' The power of this fabulous facility and the Mittersill training complex was two fold.
Ski and Snowboarding Team. Second, this facility is a world class facility that is affordable and available to skiers from all over the North Country. This weekend is our fall Board of Trustee Weekend. As my last Fall Board weekend, it is especially meaningful. For the first time in over a year and a half, we had almost the full Board back on campus enjoying family-style meals, and maskless time on campus. We had a very full agenda, including assessing the impact of possibly being students, listening to our student leaders, looking at future capital efforts, and celebrating the Grand Opening of the impactful Davis Center.
It is both a strategic and fun meeting.
