Work continues in the main building as we prepare the classrooms for the boys' return in September. Some classrooms have new floors, some have new Promethean boards, and all are cleaned and waxed.

The Clown Academy is off to a hilarious start! Here are a few photos of the campers learning to juggle and the all important skill of pie throwing. Be sure to stop by on July 30 at 1pm for the Clown Academy circus performance in the Athletic & Convocation Center. Bring the family!

50 boys from the Princeton area attended the NY Giants Youth Football Camp this week at Princeton Academy. Super Bowl XXV Giants players Stephen Baker, Rodney Hampton, and Perry Williams visited the camp during the week and posed with Princeton Academy campers. By all accounts, the boys had a great week!

Work began this week on the installation of Promethean boards in six classrooms in the lower and middle schools. The interactive boards will help to educate our boys using 21st century technology. All faculty will be able to use the technology.

The nature camp took one last trip to the Plainsboro Preserve last week and found all kinds of species on their visit, including frogs.

Princeton Academy's Clown Academy begins on July 19th and runs through July 30. There is still space; if you are interested please contact Tom von Oehsen via email at tvonoehsen@princetonacademy.org.

Summer Camp is in full swing!
Here are some photos of sports camp, basketball camp, reading and writing adventures, and water play. Everyone is having a great time at Princeton Academy's summer camp! There's still room in the last 2 weeks; contact Vince Geraci to register.

Summer work projects have begun. There is a major project which involves the installation of sprinklers in the Manor House, and the arrival of 7 Promethean boards which will be installed in Middle and Lower School classrooms.

The Princeton Academy baseball team had a solid and exciting season this year. The team got off to a slow start but turned things around by winning the last 4 games of the season. When playing fundamental baseball, the team was able to compete with any other. This team scored the most runs in school history and also hit 4 homeruns during the season. The baseball team will miss its strong group of 8th graders, but the team is built for the future. Coach Clewell and Coach LaSpina enjoyed watching this team come together and grow throughout the season and are looking forward to next season.

The Princeton Academy lacrosse team met with instances of success. The team had a lot of talent and a great deal of raw ability. The team was led by eight 8th graders, however, six of those players left to participate in the Barcelona Exchange Program. As a result of this opportunity, the younger players to fill the spaces left by their absent teammates. They were able to fill the positions adequately. Although there were rough spots along the way, Coach Stevens and Coach Ferrante were happy with the progression of the players. The team showed great improvement over the course of the year. Each player was enthusiastic and kept his spirits high. Overall, the team had a successful season and should continue to develop their talents for years to come.

This year's tennis squad was the largest in our school's history. Each match provided an opportunity to develop our sense of the game and its intricacies. Facing many tough and more advanced opponents was a good learning experience, and everyone worked hard and stayed positive. With so many younger players, we should be able to develop our tennis program and have a great season next year. Coaches Trowbridge and Deisher enjoyed watching the individual progress of many players this season and look forward to further improvement of the team in the future.

Field Day is always fun as teams compete in a variety of activities and crafts. Special thanks to the Parents' Association for a wonderful BBQ!

The Class of 2010 became Princeton Academy's newest alumni on June 8.

Graduation took place immediately following the Liturgy in the Manor House Gardens. Congratulations!

The fourth grade Father-Son event found the boys and their dads canoeing in the Pine Barrens. Everyone really enjoyed it!
