A couple of times a year, when the winter weather looks especially dicey, the Milton Academy campus shut down on account of a snow day. Each student waits not-so-patiently, whether it be at home or in their dorm, to get the automated call telling us that we do not have to go to school the next day. Snow days are especially celebrated in the dorm, as shouts and cheers ring through the hallway, and a dance party inevitably breaks out. The day is filled with baking, sledding and snowball fights. On our first snow day this year, my dorm, Robbins House, hosted an annual snowball fight with our brother dorm, Forbes House. After that, we went inside for brownies and hot chocolate, and had a movie night in our common room. Although snow days are rare, they are cherished for bringing us together and strengthening the unforgettable bond forged in a dorm.
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.
