What could be a better way to make it through the Maine winter than coming to hear this group of wacky teenage musical pirates perform songs on the acoustic end of the spectrum? See you at 6PM tonight in Higgins Hall. You’ll be glad you came.🎸🎶

As we move to the end of the semester, my class has had visits this week from two powerful, inspiring young women who have showed my students how it is possible to live an exciting, purpose-driven life.

talked about what it means to be a student in the 21st century, and international trail running guide/yoga teacher talked about how to build a non-traditional life of passion and curiosity.

Cool to see how their ideas -from morning routines to mindset-reinforce so much of what we’ve been learning all semester and widen the students’ sense of what is possible. Next week we finish up with saunas and float tanks!

North Yarmouth Academy Outing Club trip to the Zealand Falls Hut is on the books. 14 miles, some of it by headlamp, some in the rain. A few soaked boots from stream crossings, lots of hot cocoa, cheese, cookies, card games, and oatmeal. Even more goofiness and adventure. Already planning the next trip.
