Perhaps you've already heard the hype surrounding this year's boy's basketball team. Maybe you saw news footage or read a blog post. Our team had an amazing season, the best in the school's history. They finished their regular season with a final score of 19-1. The boys went on to win the T.A.A.C. championship and made it to the Sweet 16. They eventually lost to Arlington High School in the division 4 regional semi-finals played at BGSU on March 13. You can read more highlights about the spectacular season on Maumee Valley's website. Congratulations boys, we are so proud!

The Upper School art classes are currently working on a permanent art installation for the new Upper School Parry Commons. This large 3D installation consists of objects from the old Upper School building: door signs, sprinkler heads, locker tags, pencil sharpeners, test tubes, drawers, etc. The art students will also use collage materials such as year book covers, old blue prints and class photographs to add a personal dimension to the piece. This is where you come in. The artists invite you to submit photographic memories from your time spent as a student or faculty member in the old Upper School. If you have photos that you'd like to submit for permanent display, please email jpgs to Leah Whitaker '00.
