GIRLS BASKETBALL TEAM MAKES MPA PLAYOFFS!
Our young but scrappy girls varsity basketball team has made the preliminary play-off round of the MPA Western Maine Class D Regional Tournament. The NHCS girls, at #8, will play #9-ranked Seacoast Christian School of South Berwick tomorrow at 1 PM at the Vinalhaven School gymnasium (because our court is too small for MPA tournament play). The winner will go on to the Augusta Civic Center next Tuesday @ 11:30 AM to battle undefeated and #1-ranked Buckfield in the MPA Regional Quarter Finals. The spectator boat/bus will depart from Brown’s tomorrow @ 12:15 PM. If you are interested in riding the bus, please contact Angie at school (867-4707) Seating is limited; first come, first served.
Please note: because of the basketball playoff game, the middle and high school ski trip to the Camden Snow Bowl, scheduled for tomorrow, has been canceled.
HUNGRY? COME TO THE SPAGHETTI SUPPER AT THE GRANGE HALL TONIGHT AT 6 PM TO BENEFIT THE CLASS OF 2010
No need to cook supper tonight or wash the dishes afterward. Instead, plan to come and enjoy a delicious spaghetti supper at the Grange Hall, starting at 6 PM, and leave the cooking and cleaning up to our NHCS sophomores.
Everest Mountaineer Ed Webster To Speak at School and at Waterman’s Community Center on Wednesday American mountaineer (and Maine resident) Ed Webster will give two presentations to NHCS classes during the day on Wednesday, February 13, and then to the community at WCC on that evening at 7:30 PM. In 1988, Webster and three companions attempted to scale a new route up the East Face of Mt. Everest in Tibet without Sherpa support, bottled oxygen, or radios. They reached the South Summit of Everest, the smallest climbing team ever to scale a new route on the highest mountain in the world! An account of Webster’s harrowing Everest climb was published in Sports Illustrated, entitled Snow in the Kingdom, My Storm Years on Everest. Mr. Webster’s acclaimed “Everest Years” autobiography was listed in Outside Magazine as one of the "Top Ten Mt. Everest Books". This should be a fascinating evening. Don’t miss it!
