What a fun way to kick off the season! With six players on the squash court and a few out on the paddle platform, Shore met Brookwood in some good-natured competition. Outside, the paddle players honed aspects of their game by working on groundstrokes, volleys, overheads, and serves. Although we did not keep score for these drills, Shore players committed themselves to a high standard of play. Inside the play seemed fairly balanced, with our squad barely edging out the opponent - only one match tipped the scale in our favor! Thanks to Myopia for hosting such a great event!

Shore’s Pre-K students have been very busy this trimester! Their teachers, Beth White and Tracy Keith shine as they continue to identify and develop engaging learning and growth opportunities across campus for our youngest students.

This year’s edition of Grandfriends Visiting Day, an annual Shore favorite, was a heartwarming way to kick off the holidays. All across campus, hallways echoed with laughter, joy, and conversations as students had the unique, heartfelt experience of sharing a slice of their day-to-day life with their grandparents and special friends.

There’s a reason the ‘Egyptian Play’ is an annual highlight and a community favorite, and once again, third grade exceeded every possible expectation and knocked this out of the park. “Let’s have another Egyptian cheer!”

The Howard Gym underwent a breathtaking transformation, orchestrated by the SFA, with amber mood lighting and intricately built indoor fire pits setting the scene for an evening of fun for the Shore community.

Despite the loss, Shore played some of the best soccer I’ve seen on the pitch in my time coaching here. Our first half began with effective spacing, measured passing, and fierce defending. The balance of play flopped back and forth, and only one untouchable free kick marked the difference on the score sheet.  In the end, Shore Girls Varsity Soccer left everything on the field and has so much to be proud of. Such a gritty performance today, and thanks for a fantastic season!

It was the perfect fall day for one of Shore’s most beloved traditions, the annual Halloween Parade! Pre-K students led the festivities and were joined by students from all grades, as well as Faculty and Staff, for a parade around the Oval.

What a solid way to bounce back! Shore arrived at GUS focused and ready to win. We were much stronger on the ball, played tough defense, and shut the opponent out! Part of this success resulted from the improved ball control we possessed through the middle of the field, allowing us to distribute well to open players. After myriad shots on net, we found ourselves in a commanding lead in the second half, which allowed for some creative positioning. Overall, a fun win for the squad!

Despite some fine play and flashes of powerful soccer, Shore fell to Park’s impressive team today. Again I challenge our team to ask ourselves: How can we learn from this loss? Our captains summed it up best in the post-game debriefing. Some quotes include, “They played at 100% (and we did not).” “We can connect better passes, more often.” Let’s take those observations to heart, leave any regrets behind, and rise again tomorrow. Nevertheless, it’s good to still savor the fantastic moments of today’s game: a clutch save, a perfectly timed challenge, a well angled through-ball, a fierce drive towards goal… These are the lessons sports teach us. Cherish the good, grow from the bad, and show up to compete tomorrow.

Grade 7 and 8 students have been hard at work designing props for their upcoming Halloween dance.

So proud of our team today. Playing on the road, significantly down in numbers, we showed up and brought the fight. After being stung early by a goal, Shore Varsity Girls Soccer rose up and answered with a great goal and copious chances. Our play through the field looked more controlled, but ultimately their swift strikers tallied a few too many. We fought till the end, notching another score for pride. Wishing a speedy recovery to our sick and injured players!

Shore confronted a physically tough team at Pike today. While they notched more goals than us, our team showed a ton of spirit by stepping to the ball, standing our ground, and following through. We found some more fun in the second half (maybe thanks to a b-day cheer?!), which opened up our play even more, resulting in a flurry of chances in the last fifteen minutes. Overall lots to be proud of today!

Shore staved off a stalwart opponent in Brookwood today. They out-possessed us and had many more chances than we did, even kissing one off the crossbar. Nevertheless, our stout defense bent but did not break. Strong leadership guided brave new players, and we earned a respectable tie. During our several flashes in the attacking third, Shore looked quite threatening. How to generate more chances? In the words of our captains, we need to build the ball up carefully and possess in their half. That’s the focus of our next practices. Onward!

What an amazing experience we had out at Fay on Wednesday afternoon! The site hosted us with full hospitality and our players were able to play more than one opponent. Though the scorecard did not tilt in our favor, our team glimpsed the next level of racquet sports: the pace of play, the precision of shots, even the intricacies of refereeing a match. Above all else, our players conquered their fears and competed against a worthy adversary. Athletics can teach us so much!

In our second meeting against Brookwood this season, we split up the roster into a new configuration in order to allow for players to experience as wide a range of competition as possible. With six playing squash inside and a handful outside playing paddle, Shore battled it out nobly! Coach Lucey witnessed spirited fun on the paddle court, where our team placed many shots in play, hustled to clean up, and cheered each other on to take the win! While we did not win the balance of matches inside on the squash courts, our players gained valuable experience serving, keeping score, and tracking points.  Overall, a fantastic afternoon!
