[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]15:13 back -- here is an example of "community" too.

Last night, STA had its annual baseball dinner.  It wasn't just for the varsity guys, but everyone.  Lower school (and kids just newly accepted!) too who play baseball.  It was a potluck and there was an inspirational speech by Brendan Sullivan (Headfirst founder and STA alum as well as baseball phenom), but also trivia presented by the seniors.  We were sitting next to a family with a sibling in a different school and the parents could not get over the fact that the 6th grade teacher and varsity baseball coach knew EVERYONE.  He called out kids, parents by name, when someone won a trivia question or a raffle.  It was just really nice to be there and be part of it.  We don't like everyone there, but we suspect any school would be like that and have found that there is a warm and nurturing community within the school that you might not get from the outside looking in.  The baseball dinner was but one example of that.[/quote]

things sure went south for the  Headfirst St. Albans baseball camp run by two former STA buddies:

OMG -- this is even juicier than Newmeyer v. SFS/Huntington.   Great reading on a rainy, Halloween-hangover, day of procrastination and sugar-regret![/quote]
