FALL JOURNAL

  • Lessons Around Every Corner by Adam

    Edward Richards sums up the entire process by which one can learn from his surroundings in a simple poem. “A wise old owl sat on an oak; the more he saw the less he spoke; the less he spoke the more he heard; why aren't we like that wise old bird?” This poses an interesting question. Why aren't we like that owl?

  • Your Boarding Family

    When I got back to school, the first thing on my mind was seeing them and telling them how much I missed them.

    As the first semester drew to a close, there was one word that resonated through the minds of all Webb students: exams.

  • Winter, Visitors' Day, and Second Semester Senior

    Just this morning I learned--or, rather, remembered--how utterly terrifying it can be to move to a new school, with new people and new classes and new...everything. Today was Visitors’ Day.

WINTER JOURNAL

  • Challenges created deeper friendships

    It was my first time in a sit-in kayak, so I was very excited. I had wanted to go in a sit-in kayak for nearly an entire year. I was very nervous at the put-in, especially sitting in the kayak at the water’s edge. When I went in the water, I was very surprised as how tippy the boat was, but also how much more maneuverable it was than a sit-on-top.

  • Trip provided its own rewards

    I am your average, warm-blooded, Caribbean teenage girl. Unable to go home for Thanksgiving, I chose to go northwest to the frozen tundra in Ohio. While some may say it may not have been the wisest of actions, bearing the twenty-seven degree weather provided its rewards.

  • Service at Webb

    This weekend boarders were given the opportunity to volunteer at the 2nd Harvest Food Band for about four hours. They played music the whole time and everyone had a blast; we talked, hung out, met new people, and, best of all, got to help people we had never even met before.

  • A Victory for Webb!

    Last Friday night the Webb Football team went to play their second football game in history. The score was 36-7 and the game was ours!

  • Webb at the Fringe Festival in Scotland

    This summer was a great one for The Webb Company Players. On Friday morning we boarded a train for Edinburgh, Scotland (yes we were right beside platform 9 and 3/4).

  • From Jamaica to Webb

    The biggest thing that struck me since I have been at Webb is how pleasant the people are, students and teachers alike. That was a big reason why I chose Webb as my school.

    This year we voted on the North Carolina-area and visited nine schools.
