At Milton, the sight of snow falling from the sky can be mistaken for Christmas morning. All through the night, as snow piles on the ground, we patiently wait for the call from the head of school, as we constantly refresh the “snow day calculator” on our computers. When the Milton system calls students to notify them of school`s cancelation, shouts of joy can be heard from every room in the dorm. Although day students cannot come to campus, boarders know how to make the best of a snow day. For me, that consists of baseball batting practice in our gym with teammates, snow football, Netflix, and a huge snowball fight on the quad. We take our quad snow football very seriously. In my dorm—Forbes House—winning a snow football game is about as big as winning the Super Bowl.
Snow days connect the Milton Boarding community like no other day on the calendar, bringing us closer through snow shenanigans outside and watching movies inside. Snow days are some of my most fond memories of Milton.
Hi, and thanks for visiting us! We’re the leaders of Milton’s Orange and Blue Key (OBK) Society. OBK is the group of about 160 students who give tours to students and families visiting our campus. We work closely with the admission office to make sure you get a good sense of what it’s like to be a student at Milton. We hope that you’ll visit us in person, and until then, enjoy this “insider’s” view of the School we love.
