Daily themes of this much-loved school celebration include High Society Day, Clone Day, Decades Day, and Red and Black Day. The week culminated Friday, Oct. 21 with an afternoon Pep Rally and Bonfire. The enthusiasm continued at Saturday's football game at Dunning Stadium.

Commenting on the week, New Canaan's new principal, , said, "Nothing anyone could have possibly told me about Clone Day could have prepared me for the sight of 110 Oompa Loompas in the Lounge this morning.  It's all in good fun, as long as classes are not interrupted."

GO RAMS!

This has convinced my growing conviction that Patch has moved completely away from any pretense of…Read More being a news source and is simply an electronic bulletin board. By abandoning their prior procedure of approving posts before they go up, they are letting anything go on and then taking them down if they're reported. By then, it's too late: the poster has gotten their message across during the time it's in the lineup. I only check in with Patch occasionally now and so many people in town won't read it at all anymore. I think we need to be honest with ourselves about what kind of a public forum this venue is. This doesn't reflect well on Staples if they are using subterfuge and violating Terms of Use on Patch either.
