February 11, 2020 Winter may be here, but Pelicans are far from hibernation! The return from winter break has been chock-full with exciting sports contests, rehearsals for our winter musical The Addams Family, debate tournaments, Model U.N. conferences, community service projects, Fun in the PHI, and, of course, the highlight of the term — Winterfest, the annual week of festivities put on by the Loomis Chaffee Parents Association, culminating in the annual winter semiformal dance (this year's theme: Starry Night). Among all the hoopla, we wrapped up interviewing candidates for the fall of 2020 and are well into reading applications — a process further outlined in my blog post, "The Paradox of Admission Time." We admissions officers may be in hibernation, but we look forward to emerging when admissions decisions are released on March 10!
