Although it feels like the school year just began, it was already time for Eaglebrook’s annual Mountain Day. The entire Eaglebrook community hiked Mt. Monadnock in Jaffrey, New Hampshire on Monday, September 30. Last year, Mountain Day was postponed to the spring due to inclement weather. That was not the case this year, however. The weather was perfect, and Mountain Day All 256 students and 50 faculty members made the climb up the 965-meter mountain that ranks as the second most climbed mountain in the world. Mountain Day is one of Eaglebrook’s most cherished traditions. Adam Williams, the school’s Outdoor Program Coordinator, organizes the fun-filled day each year. The school outing gives our students a chance to spend time in the outdoors and bond with their classmates and teachers. See photos from Mountain Day here and watch a fun video here.
