Suns Out Guns Out!

Back to school means back to the gym! Here at Govs we love to hit the gym just as much as we hit the books for studying...AKA a lot. Getting in shape and "getting big" is something we fellow Governors aspire to do, athlete or not. Each day when the weight and cardio rooms fill up quickly, we know that with all the hard work and dedication in there, comes blood sweat and tears. So slap on your sweat band, grab a bottle of water, and tie up those laces to come on down to the Governors gym to have some healthy fun!

Welcome back fellow grillers!

Hey Govs Grillers! Sadly, our previous bloggers Ali Grenier and Claire Lilly have graduated, and therefore resigned from The Grill, leaving us to be the new editors. Our names are: Christy Ray (boarder from Bermuda), Julia Healey (day student from Merrimac, MA), Isabel MacLeod (boarder from Wesport, CT) and Amy Levenson (boarder from New Castle, NH). We are all currently seniors of the Governor's Academy, and are so excited to start cookin' up some spicy stories on the grill! Be sure to tune in for our weekly updates and posts! xoxo

new dorm's new name

okay so the grillers just found out that the "new dorm" is now called "doggett dorm" in honor of mr. and mrs. dogget! the new dorm has gone unnamed for far too long (about four years) which was slightly strange to say. outsiders never really understood our "new dorm" sweatshirts. but now it is all figured out  and we strongly approve of the name change! the doggetts will be missed next year!

accent attack

go govs! (add accent if desired)

if you walk around govs for a day you will meet people from britain, australia and maybe a few other places that might not exist. we are one tricky school because most of these people aren't from britain or australia or their pretend far off land. accents are taking over our campus. even the grillers (us) have fallen into this trend. it is hard to go more then 10 minutes without hearing a different accent and once you start speaking with one...its difficult to stop. this trend is so popular that some claim it to be 'annoying' but us grillers find it awesome. go govs for switching it up. there is no doubt we are quite the diverse campus this spring!

CD RELEASE

the release is finally here! after two years of working on the cd ali is getting ready for her show next weekend. the party/show is on saturday (may 7th) at 7pm right on campus in the performing arts center. to start off the night ali will be performing a few of her songs, followed by food and drinks in the PAC lobby. ali is so excited to have this chance to perform a few songs but also to talk about her cd and all the work that has been put into it. there will be cds available for purchase after her performance. it should be a very relaxed night and definitely a lot of fun! 

the cd consists 10 original songs that ali has written after the past few years. she worked on the cd with Tom Eaton, her producer, at his studio right in Newburyport. she was able to spend time recording and working on production as her afternoon activity (in place of a sport, drama, etc.). she requested the project as a special activity and was very excited to get to work. 

it has been quite the process but definitely an exciting one. 

we all look forward to next saturday night!
