Gingerbread Science

December 17, 2014

Why didn’t the gingerbread man want to get wet?? Well we had our theories. He would sink, get soggy, his icing would wash off or he might even break apart.  So we put him in the water and we watched.  We determined he got very soggy.

From the desk of Shawn Rhoads, Director of Residential Life: It is the special touches in life that can make all the difference.  The personal attention turns a dorm into a home and a staff into a family.  That is our goal in the Brook Hill boarding program.  We are always asking ourselves, What can […]

It’s Not Personal, It’s Puberty!
