Winter Carnival 2005

This week Holderness School is celebrating Winter Carnival.

The Holderness Webite has a great write up on the events of the week including pictures. The follow description is from the Holderness Webite.

In an effort to keep the winter doldrums at bay and celebrate the snow, the school sponsors a week of fun every mid-winter, with dormitories going head to head in friendly competition. The events vary widely, from the "Barton Olympics" (involving the pushing, throwing, and eating of M&Ms, marshmallows, and pies respectively) to an Iditarod competition around the quad.

On Monday night, our Polly took second place in the M & M roll!! We are so proud!!

The M&M roll, in which a standard peanut M&M (of any color) is rolled with one's nose by contestants the required twenty feet.

On Tuesday night Polly participated in the Nordic Relay. I haven't talked to her so I don't know now she did, but she certainly looks as if she put in a good effort.

Tonight is the Lip Synch Competition described on the Holderness Webite as follows:

Lip Synch
Perhaps the greatest and most controversial of the events is the lip synch contest, held every year in Gallop. Dormitories build lip synch skits to music and perform for the school. Costumes, props and music combine to form an evening that is uniquely Holderness

Good Luck to Sargent Dorm !!!
