MOUNTAIN DAY 2013
By Alan Lewis
EVERY YEAR DURING THE
first
week of school, the Storm King School
community gathers together on the Ledoux
Terrace at Orr Commons and sets their
sights on the peak of Storm King Mountain
behind Spy Rock House. Mountain Day
this year fell on a picture-perfect Saturday.
Faculty and students donned their blue,
white, and gold t-shirts emblazoned with our
motto of Truth, Respect and Responsibility,
and we set out in small groups to conquer the climb. For the
first time in recent memory, every student who attempted the
climb completed it, and the smiling faces posing at the summit
were proof of a challenge met. After descending, the day
Team Truth participates in a team-building game of Helium Stick — a team-building activity
that requires all the team members to be completely in sync in an effort to lower the stick to the
ground without anyone’s finger loosing contact.
continued with students engaged in team-building games and
orientation sessions, as part of a new tradition of “Color Wars”
that pits three equal-sized groups against each other in a year-
long competition for bragging rights.
