Penguins Roll Into Spring Break
We are a week into spring break, and I am still in awe of how Cushing closed out our Winter season. Through the highs of our outstanding winter musical Annie, a fourth consecutive Rust Cup victory, a strong performance by our students at the National History Day regional competition, and exemplary post-season athletics — capped by Boys’ Varsity Hockey winning the NEPSAC Large School Championship and Boys’ Prep Basketball winning the NEPSAC Class AA Championship last Sunday — our students have been feeding off of each other’s success and support.
The snow is already melting in Ashburnham, and when we return to campus at the end of the month, Drew Common will no longer have a temporary ice rink, but rather a field of grass. I would like to take this moment to thank everyone — students for pushing themselves to excel and be their best, faculty for supporting our students above and beyond, and parents for their partnership in making the Cushing experience possible.
Please enjoy the rest of your break! Let’s return to campus refreshed and restored, and ready to close out a tremendous year at Cushing. Roll Pens!
