In the last thirty years, Cushing has only had three snow days — and this past Monday was one of them. As we hunkered down in the midst of a major blizzard, students were able to meet virtually with their teachers and spend extra time preparing for midterm projects and examinations while our essential services and facilities teams cleared the snow and kept our campus safe.
New England weather is no match for our Penguins. This week, as three-foot snow banks lined our cleared pathways, students began closing out their winter activities. Last night, Cushing Theatre had its opening for the winter musical Annie, a tremendous production that will run through this Saturday. This weekend Cushing hosts the Rust Cup at Iorio Arena and our winter sports teams are all competing for final postseason seeding.
With Spring Break on the horizon, we will see an additional flurry of activities next week — pep rallies, a music recital, playoff games, and, quite possibly, a little more snow.
I know our Penguins are not only up for the challenge, but are excited to close out this winter season!

Happy New Year! To celebrate the Year of the Horse, Cushing had a special Assembly where students from different cultures shared their New Year traditions (and enjoyed a Minute-to-Win-It competition for Mochinut Donuts). Lunch featured dumplings made by students in celebration of the Year of the Horse, and Head of School Dr. Bertin distributed traditional red envelopes to students, extending wishes for happiness, health, and success in the year ahead.
This weekend, Annie lights up the Cowell Chapel stage. The production is a true celebration of our Cushing Community, featuring a full orchestra and talented students, faculty, faculty kids — and even a faculty dog — sharing the spotlight together! You don’t want to miss this heartwarming, toe-tapping show.
