Special Events

Special Events

Five special events mark the passage of the academic year at Northfield. Each event provides students with unique opportunities to learn, to perform and to rejoice. Enjoy a brief look at scenes from these programs over the previous year.

Talent Show

Soon after school begins in the fall, participating students and faculty begin planning and rehearsing for the Talent Show, which showcases the musical skills of the Northfield community.

Thanksgiving

In November, students collaborate with the History Department to produce the Thanksgiving Program, which highlights our national past and contextualizes the present in performances both serious and humorous.

Christmas Festival of Lessons and Carols.

December offers a celebration of faith with the Festival of Lessons and Carols. The evening includes instrumental and vocal performances in the gymnasium, and poetry, dramatic monologues, comic sketches, music, and dance upstairs in Convocation Hall.

For the past five years, the day of the Festival has featured a reading of A Child's Christmas in Wales by Dick Welsbacher.

Americana Night

Americana Night brightens midwinter with musical performances by students and special guest musicians as we ponder what it means to belong to American culture, and what our own places are within those traditions.

Graduate Convocation

In the spring, faculty, students, and families come together to honor our Graduates; speeches written and delivered by some of our student graduates help to make this evening a truly unforgettable experience.
