Speaking of sports … winter IMs are in full swing and we are a force to reckon with in bowling! This week’s “photo of the week” is from IM bowling captain, Harry Rubin TD ’21, and shows our first-year star bowler, Pheonix Dalto, blowing up the automated score board with an amazing score of 236!
Here is our wonderful bowling team from last Friday. From left to right: Sophia Ross ‘21, Won Jung and Elayna Garner ‘20, Harry Rubin ‘21, and first-years Sumedha Chowdhury, Phoenix Dalto, and Harrison Bushnell.
And congratulations to Caroline Ho ‘22 for winning the Carbon Charge Recess Checklistraffle! In these cold winter months, please remember to close windows, turn off unused lights, and keep your radiator set to a reasonable level.
