Last week's Field Day had to be held indoors because of rain. While trying to keep the whole school busy and entertained in the gym, Commons, and wrestling rooms was a challenge, the Inter House Council (student government) did an amazing job. In the morning, there was basketball, indoor soccer, paper airplane competitions, and indoor handball. Of course we had friend chicken for lunch.

AP Latin Presentations were last week.

Earlier this month, The Abbey Outdoor Club had their final event of the school year, a challenging hike at Harpers Ferry National Historical Park. Established by students in the fall of 2025, the Outdoor Club had a successful year, with hikes and ski trips in Maryland, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia.

Today was Field Day - and also a wet and soggy day in DC. We ended up holding it indoors. Our Dean of Students and Inter House Council (Student Government) really rose to the occasion with a day full of fun games and contests. While we will have a lot to say about it, we will cut right to the chase - Austin House won the 2025-2026 House Cup. The competition wasn't even close. They were followed by Alban, Moore, and then Main. Congratulations Austin!

Today, we started a new Abbey tradition. The Class if 2026 had their last exams today and right before they received their yearbooks, they gathered to plant a tree. A marker will be placed next to it so that when they come back, they can see how much it has grown. We will continue this going forward with each graduating class. Today's tree is a River Birch.
