Eaglebrook Celebrates it’s 81st Country Fair

Amidst a foggy start, the 2023 Country Fair and Parents' Weekend exceeded expectations. The excitement of Country Fair officially kicked off Wednesday night when our students, organized by advisee groups, began crafting posters to promote their concessions. Check out these posters here and see photos of the evening here. 

Friday marked the arrival of our students' parents and families. The assembly area was packed with the presence of our extended Eaglebrook committee as we gathered to hear from Harry Kim ’24, the President of the Student Council, give his Sixth Form Assembly. Following this, parents joined their children in attending all seven class periods, offering a unique glimpse into the daily life of an Eaglebrook student. See pictures from the day here. 

Later that afternoon, the moment we had all been waiting for arrived – the 81st Country Fair on Memorial Field. Traditional booths like the Greased Barrel and the Caramel Apple Stand remained as popular as ever. This while new events such as Mr. Bogel’s Maze and Face Painting held by the Manto advising group made their impact on the crowd. Find pictures from the 81st Country Fair here.

Following the Fair,  Sixth Formers and their parents gathered in the Assembly Area for the Secondary School Advising panel, featuring admissions officers from different schools. Simultaneously, Parents' Receptions took place for the Third, Fourth, and Fifth Forms, providing an invaluable forum for sharing thoughts and experiences.

As the day drew to a close, we ushered in an Evening of the Arts, where our talented students delivered a delightful array of musical performances followed by three one-act plays. Find pictures of the event here. Find the 2023 Evening of the Arts videos here.

Saturday witnessed the return of parents to campus for an exciting series of athletic contests. It all began with in-person parent-teacher conferences. After the conferences, families gathered for a delightful lunch followed by the Parents' Association Meeting, where Sixth Formers, Trustees, and our Head of School, Andrew Chase, shared their invaluable experiences with the Eaglebrook community. See pictures of the event here. 

In the afternoon, our fields came alive with numerous teams competing, showcasing the true spirit of sportsmanship. Almost every Eaglebrook sport made its mark in some way. Find pictures of the afternoon athletics here. 

Country Fair stands as a cherished tradition that unites students, families, and faculty for a weekend of sheer enjoyment. We extend our heartfelt thanks to all the parents and alumni who graced us with their presence. We eagerly anticipate your return for the Winter Carnival.
