The Fessenden School–November 16, 2011 The Fessy boys are enjoying the unseasonably warm temperatures for this time of year. They have found plenty of activities and amusement outside and around campus. However, the N.A.P trips are starting to take on their annual holiday theme. This most recent weekend the boys were happy to enjoy a three-day break as Friday was Parent Teacher Conferences. The Fessenden boarding community was in full motion from Friday morning on through Sunday night. Mrs. E, ever the contrarian, bucked the holiday theme and invited a group of Fessy boys to the indoor water park, Cocoa Key. The water soaked all-day adventure was a huge hit.

For the Fessy boys who were gearing up for the holiday season Ms. Westman offered a trip to the Freeport Outlets, in Freeport, Maine. Ms. Westman’s bargain hunting crew had the entire day to enjoy L.L. Bean and the many new stores and renovated outlets Freeport has to offer. During the same weekend Ms. Westman found the time to
bring a lucky group of Fessy boys to the Tazo Chocolate factory for a tour. The sweets did not stop there, Ms. Printzlau offered an apartment evening where the boys relaxed and learned how to make Apple Crisp. Not to be outdone, Mr. Fawcett offered a Fessy favorite, Go-Karting.
better time trick ‘o treatin’ around campus. Over 40 faculty members opened their doors and handed out candy around campus. As this tradition went on, other unheralded traditions continued as well, like Mr. Howe’s handout of choice, Cup of Noodles. The boys went back to their dorms with plenty of candy and good stories to share, many of which now look at Fessenden in a different light, thanks to Mr. Lyons stories of the haunted bygone eras of the school. As old stories are told, new ones were emerging this week, and it looks like the unexplained remained that way, seen here in Mr. Murphy’s photo from the headmasters office. Who knows what happened, but let’s hope Mr. Stettler is ok.
There were pink gorillas, super heroes, goblins, ghouls, and all the like skulking around campus Monday night. The festivities were initiated at dinner on Monday night. There was a wonderful Halloween dinner laid out for all in attendance by our own friendly Fessenden food service staff. Everyone came to dining hall in costume and ready to trick o’ treat. The boys were not the only ones in costume, the faculty came out in everything from drag to star wars.
