The Fessenden School

On Wednesday, the Head of School’s office was treated to an impromptu concert by fifth graders led by Mr. Glenn!

We have been loving the beautiful weather these couple of days! Hope everyone is able to get out and enjoy it just like these Fessy boys did in 1945. #flashbackfriday

Lower School boys made valentines for Fessenden's grand alumni and mailed some Valentine's cheer "from one Fessy Boy to another"! Happy Valentine's Day!

From lion dances to homemade dumplings, we are celebrating with lots of different traditions to welcome the Year of the Tiger. Happy Lunar New Year!

The Lower School Skating Program is off to a great start! The boys had a blast getting on the ice this week. 🐻

Boys in Pre-K receive “kindness spots” throughout the year for doing acts of kindness for each other. This year, the Pre-K boys have been so kind that they have already filled up their board with spots and earned a special Pajama Day!

Congratulations to the cast and crew of “Influencer Nation,” this fall’s Upper School play!

From food drives to working at a nearby farm, boys of all ages have been giving back to our local community. We are proud of our students for the spirit of service they have brought to school!

Fall Sports Awards here at Fessenden today. Varsity Soccer took advantage of a rare spectacular 70 degree mid-November day and held their team gathering outside in front of Hart House.

A big congratulations to the Fessy varsity soccer team—champions of the Eaglebrook Soccer Tournament! And another congrats to Zach '22 for winning the Outstanding Player Award!

Last Thursday, recognition of #BreastCancerAwarenessMonth in Upper School culminated in a PinkOut. Boys and faculty dressed in pink and held a snack sale during lunch to raise funds for this important cause, and the students voted for which charity would receive the funds.

Last Friday, Fessenden hosted our Under the Lights games for the first time since 2019! We loved coming together with students, families, alumni, and faculty and staff to campus to celebrate our community and cheer on our athletes. 🐻 ⚽️ 🏈

Wonderful to see alumni teaching at Fessenden! The latest Fessy bears to return to campus are Warren Charleston '12 (left) and Charlie Danziger '12 (right). Once a Fessy bear, always a Fessy bear! 🐻 #fessendenalumni

As part of orientation, ninth graders hiked Mount Monadnock. Through wind, rain, and sleet, the boys persevered!

Congratulations to the Class of 2021! May you continue embodying Fessenden’s core values of honesty, compassion, and respect as you move on to your new schools. We are so proud of you all!

On Tuesday we celebrated our fourth graders, leaders of the Lower School. Congratulations to these special boys as they move on to Middle School!

Honored on Monday, the boys in 8th grade celebrated both their year together and their time at Fessenden. We look forward to seeing many of you back on campus for ninth grade in the fall, and we wish those departing all the best in their future endeavors! Congratulations!
