Buses lined the Warren Street Plaza on the morning of March 25 as Prep students set off on various adventures for the first of two “Prep Days” this year. This annual tradition allows freshmen, sophomores, and juniors to explore beyond the classroom through trips, activities, retreats, and workshops.
Taking advantage of Prep’s unique proximity to New York City, the Class of 2029 dove into Freshman Arts Day and traveled to museums and live performances. The Class of 2028 attended the Koinonia Retreat, and the Class of 2027 visited various college campuses for admissions essay workshops.
As part of select offerings on-campus, some members of the Class of 2029 welcomed a jazz quartet featuring Tim Norton on bass, Greg Glassman on trumpet, Willerm Delisfort on piano, and Jesse Simpson on drums. They performed several styles of jazz songs, and our freshman had multiple opportunities to ask questions throughout the performance.
We thank everyone who joined us and all the members of our faculty and staff who served as organizers and chaperones. The next “Prep Day” on April 29 will feature unique faculty-sponsored offerings, designed to broaden student interests and learning outside a typical school day. Past activities have included a one-day course on animation, an introduction to pickleball, a pizza making class, and more.
