Impressive Win!
What a strong display of squash prowess yesterday! So many players performed at the top of their game in our match against Brookwood. Serves landed consistently in hard-to-reach spots, rails bounced deep in the back court, and some tricky boasts caught opponents off guard. While not every player won every match, everyone had shots to be proud of. On top of it all, the level of sportsmanship was extremely high, blending competition with politeness. We look ahead to our last match on February 25th at Squashbusters, where we have a chance to bounce back from our previous performance. Onward! -
Nibi the Beaver Returns to Shore
After returning from Winter Break well-rested and ready to dive back in, students were treated to a visit from a very special furry friend, Nibi the Beaver, from Newhouse Wildlife Rescue! Shore students have been big fans of Massachusetts' 'celebrity beaver', famously labeled as a 'diva' by local media, ever since she waddled through the door of the Lawrence A. Griffin Center for Creativity last year for her first visit. -

Shore spirit was in the air, as students, faculty, and staff alike went all-out with their outfits, energy, and positivity, making this year one to remember. -
We Learn from a Loss
Shore Squash encountered a confident and consistent team at SquashBusters this Tuesday. Our team arrived ready to play, and we delivered many accurate serves and shots, but it was not enough to beat our opponent. Above all, many members of our team benefitted just from managing the emotions which emerge from a larger event. In fact, this was the first match for two players this year. Our more experienced players held their own in the face of the challenge, and they learned how important it is to keep the ball away from the middle of the court. Now we look forward to a rematch against Brookwood this Monday on home turf. -
From Shore to High School: Graduates Step Up, Speak Out, and Thrive
By: Anneke Chang, Upper School Math Department ChairShore’s legacy shines brightest in its alumni, and this fall brought welcome news of success. Not only are last year’s eighth graders loving high school, but they are also joining sports teams, plays, music groups, and clubs.

Classroom Inspiration: The Mathematics of Ancient Athens
By: Katie Sullivan, Upper School Mathematics TeacherAs an Upper School mathematics teacher I am often heard telling my students that the “rules we are learning today weren’t made up by a bunch of old Greek men,” but rather they are based upon the laws of nature and physical truths in the world around us that many of the Ancient Greeks, and other civilizations, discovered over time and out of practical necessity. I knew that exploring the historical and cultural roots of mathematics in Greece would provide unique and valuable opportunities to deepen my own understanding and appreciation of mathematics, as well as allow me to bring back new insights and resources to share with my students. -
