Here is a short wrap-up from this past week—May 22 through May 26 —in the Upper School.
On Monday, sets from Something Rotten were deconstructed during the student-led musical strike. The strike came after a weekend of three incredible showings of the musical in Bradley Hall. To read more about the musical, click here!
On Wednesday, Advanced Engineering students took a field trip to the construction site of Parcel 12, a development of two new buildings connected by a public plaza over the Massachusetts Turnpike. The class met with officials working on the project and Jack Botein ’23, a senior currently completing his Senior Experience at the site.
Seniors faced off against faculty/staff in the annual Aaron Hoffman softball game. The game is a moment to remember Beaver alum Aaron Hoffman ’93 and celebrate his infectious positive attitude and love of baseball. In a fast-paced game full of laughter, faculty/staff emerged victorious with a score of 10-5. Following the game, both teams enjoyed a delicious lineup of food trucks outside.
Students explored Chinatown on Thursday on an action-packed field trip. Included in their itinerary was a scavenger hunt, lunch at a dim sum restaurant, and a walking tour of the area.
Faculty/staff and students ended the day with a showcase from Acoustic Coffeehouse. Music, poetry, and snacks were all enjoyed in the courtyard as the club shared their work from throughout the term.
