The new school year at Harrisburg Academy normally begins with a bang rather than with a slow warm Jared Cook Limited Jersey , and this year has not been any different. We experienced a number of Academy traditions, all of which add considerable value to the Academy advantage.

The first was the All-School Picnic, where more families than ever before gathered for a night of food and fun. Then during the second week of school, our Upper School students launched their flotilla of canoes down the Juniata River on their annual canoe trip, which welcomes new US students to the Academy and reunites returning students after the summer vacation. And in 4th grade NaVorro Bowman Limited Jersey , students take a two-day adventure at Camp Thompson for the same reasons.

In addition to these, we host Back-to-School Nights, Middle and Upper School Matriculation, the Parents Association Scholastic Book Fair, the Paulus Farm field trip Marshall Newhouse Limited Jersey , the fall pep rally, Laps for Learning, and last Friday's John Harris Circle dinner - just to name a few! We look forward to each of these annual events.

And if those Academy traditions weren't enough, our tireless faculty and staff added new ones, activities that might evolve into Academy traditions in the future. On Sept. 22 Mario Edwards Jr Limited Jersey , nearly 50 Academy students and parents spent the day in Queens, N.Y. at the International Maker Faire, which celebrates technology and innovation. Last Saturday, 15 Upper School students planted another 30 trees on campus to demonstrate the commitment of our school community to environment sustainability. (These new arborvitae were a class gift from last year's graduating seniors.)

All of these on-going annual events, and new traditions in the making Karl Joseph Limited Jersey , happen in addition to the remarkable teaching and learning which occur daily at the Academy. At the Academy, we love September and the traditions that it ushers in!
- A Blueprint for the Academy's Future:

In creating the model for our strategic planning, the administration made a few key decisions. First, we endeavored to engage our entire school community in the process. This approach allows all Academy community stakeholders, as well as friends of the Academy David Sharpe Limited Jersey , to provide feedback. We also decided to shorten the strategic planning timeline from five years to just three. This allows the Academy to more quickly adapt and react to the rapidly changing educational world in which we function.

At the core of the strategic planning process is our Planning Committee, made up of trustees, parents, faculty, and administrators. This group attends each of the strategic planning meetings and engages in the many group conversations that generate a whole host of innovative ideas and suggestions.

Our first few strategic planning meetings have resulted in thought-provoking conversations and creative ideas. Each week the dynamics are different Eddie Vanderdoes Limited Jersey , as new parents and community members join the discussion. By using one broad question each week, the meetings become our own Academy "think tank," as multiple groups wrestle with the same question but come up with radically different feedback. The five guiding questions used in our strategic planning model are as follows:

How do we achieve the long term enrollment goals at the Academy?
What internal improvements and partnerships with other organizations (including global ones) can be made to the academic, extracurricular, and co-curricular programs to provide an experience of excellence for our students?

Are you looking for <"http:www.1sw.orgexperiencethings-to-do-in-bristol">things to do in Bristol? Bristol is the UK’s first cycling city. The Ashton Court Estate and<"http:www.1sw.orgexperienceashton-court-leigh-woods">Leigh Woods in Bristol attract mountain bikers from across Europe although the trails here are not just for the pros.

The Nova Trail – If it is your first time attempting to <"http:www.1sw.orgexperiencefree-cycle-bristol ">cycle Bristol the Nova Trail is a great place to start. Graded blue (moderate) it gives a great flowing ride. In places the trail splits so you can continue on the blue trail or advance along a red (difficult) alternative.
Super Nova Trail- This trail is graded red, it branches off from the easier Nova Trail. It offers a great challenge for more experienced riders.

YerTiz Trail – With a blue grade this narrow and engaging trail weaves its way through the woodland. The trail features berms (banked corners), rollers (bumps) and drops and climbs, requiring a mountain bike but also suitable for relative novices to off-road cycling.

The Keener Skills Loop – A blue trail which includes features such as small drops, rock gardens and rollers – the perfect route to progress your riding ability. If you are comfortable on this trail Gareon Conley Limited Jersey , there is the possibility to divert onto more difficult features if you wish.

Gert Lush Trail – Narrow and technical, we recommend that it is only suitable for experienced off-road cyclists. A great (if very short) ‘taster’ of a red grade trail.
