Dear Alumni & Friends:

LA students and alumni love Mountain Day, a day of community, camaraderie, and cardiovascular challenge that leads to bonding experiences that brand themselves into the memories of every LA grad.

I have just found out that a new LA tradition is emerging—each year groups of LA students are taking pictures at the top of Mondadnock in the same spot, chronicling their climb up Monadnock and through their years at LA.

My heart melted on Monday evening, after this year’s climb, when I received this note with a collage of four photos attached from senior Lauren Kirk:

Hi Mr. Moore,
Hannah Davis, Brian Burns and I thought you'd enjoy this picture of us from freshman (top left) to sophomore (top right) to junior (bottom right) to senior year (bottom left) at the top of the mountain! Really shows the evolution..........

At the end of our second week of classes, I salute Mountain Day traditions new and old and everyone who has climbed over the years, strengthening our community and ourselves, getting a good workout, and taking in great views along the way.

I will be back in touch in October.

Robinson Moore
Assistant Head of School

BTW: The first two weeks of class have been a success. Summer break is a distant memory, and the campus is abuzz with students who are thriving and living the LA mission of recognizing who they are and taking responsibility for who they want to become. You’ll be hearing a lot from me about how our mission is alive and well here on the hillside! I hope to see alumni and friends on campus soon for a performance or a game. Please keep an eye on the LA website and do let me know if you make it up the hillside.

Upcoming Opportunities for Alumni

• Head's Blog: Mr. Scheibe has also just posted the latest edition of his recently reconfigured blog, Some Assembly Required. Check the entry entitled Two Assemblies Worth to catch a glimpse of a young Dan, as well as read (and see) his thoughts on Mountain Day.
• Art Opening: Tonight, Friday, September 19 at 6:00 p.m., LA's Conant Gallery presents the work of Carol Gove in an exhibit titled Boundaries Abandoned. Gove's abstract, mixed-media collages often incorporate pieces of old letters or other memorabilia with the intent, according to her artist's statement, of giving the viewer "a glimpse of a recognizable fragment or common history so that they may be reminded of their own memories."
• Concert: On Friday, September 26 at 6:30 p.m. LA's Conant Gallery presents Trio Veritas. Trio Veritas includes violinist Sasha Callahan and cellist Leo Eguchi from Brookline, Mass., and pianist Dan Perkins, professor of music at Plymouth State University. The program will feature: Piano Trio in E Minor, op. 67 (Dmitri Shostakovich, 1944), Piano Trio in A (Joseph Hayden, 1785), and Piano Trio No. 1 (Nathaniel Stookey, 2009).
• Golf: Join us at the annual Gagné Winterim Classic at Concord Country Club on Monday, October 6, where we tee it up to raise much-needed funds for Winterim scholarships. This day of fun and camaraderie will make a difference for deserving LA students. For more information go to the Gagné Winterim Golf Classic information page. Hope to see you at the CCC!
