Weekly Updates

That’s a wrap on the Middle School Jenga Tournament!

As part of the Garnet and Grey House System, 198 students competed this fall, all leading up to a nail-biting finals matchup on Tuesday. Sawyer F. ’30 and Henry L. ’30 faced off against Teddy K. ’32 and Henry L. ’32 in a showdown that had everyone on edge.

Congratulations to Sawyer and Henry for taking the win and putting the Grey House in the lead for semester one. Click here for more photos.
