SCENES FROM FALL FAIR

This year's Fall Fair and Homecoming Day was a big success, with beautiful weather outside and plenty of activity inside. The carnival games added a new flavor to the event. Children enjoyed pony rides and cotton candy while their parents shopped at various boutiques and took chances on a plethora of raffle baskets. It was a wonderful day for the entire W-H community!

SCENES FROM SPIRIT WEEK

Spirit Week was a wild scene, especially at Morning Meeting, during the week of October 10-14 in the Upper School.

Seniors, juniors, sophomores and freshmen showed their class unity by participating in theme days based on colors, seasons and sports. There was plenty of excitement and activity at Morning Meeting.

The Class of 2012 won the Spirit Week competition. The seniors pulled away for the victory after their creative holiday skit honoring the winter theme. Dawn Francavilla, Director of Student Life, was dressed as Santa Claus and Milika Griffiths '12 led the class in singing holiday tunes.

Enjoy these pictures taken by Rudy Brandl '83, who often had to dodge Upper School students to snap photos.

Camille Menns '15, Arturo Martinez '12 Named Athletes of the Week

Patricia Malizia, Director of Athletics, announced the Athletes of the Week at Morning Meeting on October 19. This week's recipients are volleyball player Camille Menns '15 and soccer star Arturo Martinez '12.
  
Camille had 10 service points against Perth Amboy and also played an extraordinary game against New Brunswick and Timothy Christian. She has demonstrated incredible growth in just three months playing volleyball and has a fantastic attitude toward the sport and her teammates.
  
Arturo had seven goals & six assists in three GMC games last week. With his first goal against Cardinal McCarrick on Fall Fair and Homecoming Day, he broke the school's boys' soccer all-time scoring record of 51, which had stood since 1977. Arturo's hat trick that day gave him a career total of 54 goals. He needs just eight more goals to break the all-time scoring record of 61 set by Samantha Barbeito '11 last year.
