LA at a Glance September 20, 2021
Mountain Day Lawrence Academy’s Mountain Day always begins with a special guest speaker. This year, LA was pleased to welcome motivational speaker Darryl Bellamy (fearlessinside.com), who spoke to the community about fear: how we can be less fearful, more confident, and challenge ourselves. His goal – to help people transform from fearful to fearless – was put to the test as Darryl joined students and faculty on the hike up Mt. Monadnock! And in the category of LA firsts, Owen Chen, a current senior, took a shortcut to the summit in an airplane that he piloted. Talk about a bird’s-eye view!

Lip-Sync Battle The spirit of SABA (Students Against Boring Assemblies) lives on! The LA community enjoyed a treat this past fall when Mr. Barker and Ms. Svec went head-to-head in an epic lip-sync battle. Mr. Barker and his lip-sync crew, who performed “This Is Me” by Keala Settle, were chosen as the winners over Ms. Svec and her backup dancers, who presented “Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)” by Beyonce. Regardless of who actually won, Mr. Barker and Ms. Svec gave the LA community an assembly to remember!

In-Person Assembly Monday morning assembly in the Richardson-Mees Performing Arts Center (RMPAC) wouldn’t normally be noteworthy. However, Oct. 4 was the first time LA held an in-person assembly since March 2020! Half of the student body was in the RMPAC, and the other half Zoomed into assembly from their advisory groups. It was great to see the RMPAC (almost) full of Spartans again.
