    Grandfriends Visiting Day a Delight for All

    This year’s edition of Grandfriends Visiting Day, an annual Shore favorite, was a heartwarming way to kick off the holidays.

  • Third Grade Welcomes Guests to ‘Egyptian Play’ Jeopardy!

  • A Comedy of Comedies: This Year's Fall Play

    The cast and crew of Shore's annual fall play presented three short comedies to a lively and engaged audience.

  • Proud of Our Team!

    Coach Lucey
    Despite the loss, Shore played some of the best soccer I’ve seen on the pitch in my time coaching here. Our first half began with effective spacing, measured passing, and fierce defending. The balance of play flopped back and forth, and only one untouchable free kick marked the difference on the score sheet.  In the end, Shore Girls Varsity Soccer left everything on the field and has so much to be proud of. Such a gritty performance today, and thanks for a fantastic season!

    Halloween Parade - A Spooktacular Day

    It was the perfect fall day for one of Shore’s most beloved traditions, the annual Halloween Parade! Pre-K students led the festivities and were joined by students from all grades, as well as Faculty and Staff, for a parade around the Oval.
  • Impressive Rebound!

    Coach Lucey
    What a solid way to bounce back! Shore arrived at GUS focused and ready to win. We were much stronger on the ball, played tough defense, and shut the opponent out! Part of this success resulted from the improved ball control we possessed through the middle of the field, allowing us to distribute well to open players. After myriad shots on net, we found ourselves in a commanding lead in the second half, which allowed for some creative positioning. Overall, a fun win for the squad!
  • Lose & Learn

    Coach Lucey
    Despite some fine play and flashes of powerful soccer, Shore fell to Park’s impressive team today. Again I challenge our team to ask ourselves: How can we learn from this loss? Our captains summed it up best in the post-game debriefing. Some quotes include, “They played at 100% (and we did not).” “We can connect better passes, more often.” Let’s take those observations to heart, leave any regrets behind, and rise again tomorrow. Nevertheless, it’s good to still savor the fantastic moments of today’s game: a clutch save, a perfectly timed challenge, a well angled through-ball, a fierce drive towards goal… These are the lessons sports teach us. Cherish the good, grow from the bad, and show up to compete tomorrow.
  • Student Art for Grades 7 & 8 Social

  • Shore Gels to Display the Beautiful Game

    Coach Lucey
    Our game today began very auspiciously, with quick passing, strong possession of the ball, and decisive movement up the field. Within ten minutes, we seemed quite in control of the game, with our forwards striking the ball with incredible precision. GUS was able to mount several threatening moments, but our team responded admirably and kept the pressure on. From there, players were asked to be flexible and creative with their positions and with the game plan, and they responded with maturity. 

    So, what did we learn from this game? Given time and space, Shore Varsity soccer is able to navigate through an opponent with so much skill! Now our task is to repeat that feat against the other teams we’ll face this season. Onward!
  • Proud of Our Grit!

    Coach Lucey
    So proud of our team today. Playing on the road, significantly down in numbers, we showed up and brought the fight. After being stung early by a goal, Shore Varsity Girls Soccer rose up and answered with a great goal and copious chances. Our play through the field looked more controlled, but ultimately their swift strikers tallied a few too many. We fought till the end, notching another score for pride. Wishing a speedy recovery to our sick and injured players!
  • A Loss to Learn from

    Coach Lucey
    A strong, disciplined, and talented team arrived to our pitch today, and we did all we could to keep the score what it was. They say it’s only truly a loss if you don’t learn from it. Hopefully our team, coaches included, can learn from our opponent today. So, yes, we have work to do. Also, we can focus on the positive: Despite all the pressure, our defense AND goalie played incredibly tough, showing remarkable stamina. Plus, our second half was an improvement, with the last ten minutes displaying some of our best possession, particularly with give-and-goes working down the sideline. We sit at the midpoint of the season, poised for some more evidence of our growth. Let’s give it our best tomorrow at Nashoba Brooks!
  • Tough But Respectable Loss to Pike

    Coach Lucey
    Shore confronted a physically tough team at Pike today. While they notched more goals than us, our team showed a ton of spirit by stepping to the ball, standing our ground, and following through. We found some more fun in the second half (maybe thanks to a b-day cheer?!), which opened up our play even more, resulting in a flurry of chances in the last fifteen minutes. Overall lots to be proud of today!
  • September

    A Respectable Tie

    Coach Lucey
    Shore staved off a stalwart opponent in Brookwood today. They out-possessed us and had many more chances than we did, even kissing one off the crossbar. Nevertheless, our stout defense bent but did not break. Strong leadership guided brave new players, and we earned a respectable tie. During our several flashes in the attacking third, Shore looked quite threatening. How to generate more chances? In the words of our captains, we need to build the ball up carefully and possess in their half. That’s the focus of our next practices. Onward!

Though the scorecard did not tilt in our favor, our team glimpsed the next level of racquet sports: the pace of play, the precision of shots, even the intricacies of refereeing a match. Above all else, our players conquered their fears and competed against a worthy adversary. Athletics can teach us so much!

With six playing squash inside and a handful outside playing paddle, Shore battled it out nobly! Coach Lucey witnessed spirited fun on the paddle court, where our team placed many shots in play, hustled to clean up, and cheered each other on to take the win! While we did not win the balance of matches inside on the squash courts, our players gained valuable experience serving, keeping score, and tracking points.  Overall, a fantastic afternoon!
