Brittany Hart '09 will deliver this year's Kippy Liddle Day Chapel talk. This annual service honors Katherine "Kippy" Liddle, a faculty member who died during a pre-season practice in 1984 with the Brooks crew. In remembrance of her every year, we honor the outstanding achievements, accomplishments and character of female athletes, while celebrating the virtues of athletics as they apply to all of us.

Brooks School will celebrate the scholastic achievement of students welcomed into the Cum Laude Society with a short ceremony, including an address and awarding of the certificates. Founded in 1906, the Cum Laude Society is dedicated to honoring scholastic achievement in secondary schools.

Join us for an arts cabaret this evening. All welcome!
