Congratulations to Seniors Bert Hilke and Warsame Galaydh on winning the 2006 Minnesota State High School League’s Classic Debate State Festival last weekend.  They defeated teams from Stillwater and Eastview in the quarterfinals and semifinals before beating another Eastview team on a 2-1 decision in the finals.   

Instrumental Concert – Thursday evening, December 7 at 7:30 p.m. 

I would like to invite all 10^th grade parents to a meeting before the Instrumental Concert, on Thursday, Dec. 7, at 6:00 p.m. in the Recital Hall.  This meeting will be a chance to talk about how 10^th grade is going, and about the 10^th grade Deep Portage trip in February – a three-day retreat in northern MN.  John Edmundson, who has organized the trip for over 20 years, will be there to talk about the experience.  Phil Trout, our college counselor, will also be there to talk about how to interpret the PSAT scores that your son/daughter will receive in the next few weeks. 

Our next senior performances are Thursday, December 14 at 12:45 p.m. in the Recital Hall.  

The Upper School office will be closed from Monday, December 25, 2006  through Monday, January 1, 2007.  We hope everyone has a restful winter break.
