Sports Corp’s New Goal

For the past year, students at Fairhaven have been playing pickup games of recreational soccer. It started as a mild interest, and folding chairs were sufficient for goal posts. Over time interest grew, and now soccer has surpassed basketball as the most popular game on campus! The students of Sports Corp have decided it is time to raise money for some real soccer goals.

With the goal of having new goals in time for the warm weather’s return, their first fundraiser is in the form of a family game night on Tuesday, February 4th. Pizza will be distributed at 5:30 and board games will begin at 6pm. The students kindly ask for a suggested donation of $15 for attending, but money is not required to attend. If you can’t attend, but would still like to donate to their cause, you can donate here.

Sports Corp would like to thank everyone who contributes to their goal!

Fair Ball

Since we first opened our doors, we have spent hundreds of hours playing kickball. This year, however, tension caused by players trash-talking, disagreements about rules, and a general malaise descending on the game threatened its existence. How the players addressed these issues exemplifies problem solving at Sudbury schools, and might concretize how our community functions.

Presence

Perhaps more than any other quality, presence defines Fairhaven’s students. Sitting in the Chesapeake Room on a sunny Saturday in February as our eight potential graduates declared their intentions to seek diplomas, then fielded questions from assembled parents, staff and fellow students, I could not help but notice this shared trait.
