  • Injuries Continue to Plague Jets Seven Wounded Players Missed Saturday's Game
    Winnipeg Free Press https://www.winnipegfreepress.com/sports/hockey/jets/injuries-continue-to-keep-jets-in-sick- bay-476497963.html?k=QAPMqC Injuries continue to plague Jets Seven wounded players missed Saturday's game By: Mike McIntyre WASHINGTON — Is there a doctor in the house? It’s been a common refrain for the Winnipeg Jets lately, as they just can’t seem to get close to a full, healthy lineup. Seven players were out due to injury in Saturday’s 2-1 loss in Philadelphia. Here’s what we know about all of them, with further updates expected today as the Jets return to action with a morning skate and then their game in Washington against the Capitals. Mark Scheifele has missed two games with a suspected shoulder injury, and there will be no rushing him back into action. He’s considered day-to-day at this point, and coach Paul Maurice had said last week he was a possibility to play either tonight, or tomorrow in Nashville. But don’t bet on it. Defenceman Toby Enstrom is battling a lower-body issue which kept him out for four games, saw him return in New Jersey last Thursday and then be back out on Saturday. Maurice said it’s a nagging thing that can change day-to-day, so his status is very much a question mark. Defenceman Dmitry Kulikov missed Saturday’s game after getting hurt Thursday in New Jersey. Maurice hasn’t said how long he could be out, only that it’s upper-body. Goalie Steve Mason has been sent back to Winnipeg for further testing on a lower-body injury he suffered late in the game against the New York Rangers last Tuesday, which was his first game back from his second concussion of the season.

  • Student Handbook Rules, Regulations, and Information for the Academic Year
    Student Handbook Rules, Regulations, and Information for the Academic Year { 2010-11 } Mission Statement Avon Old Farms School strives to be the best school for boys by cultivating young men of integrity who honor wisdom, justice, service, and the pursuit of truth. We promote intellectual, creative, and emotional growth in our students by providing a structured, supportive learning environment that encourages self-discovery and social responsibility. % Our core values are central to fulfilling our mission. On pages 37 and 38 we list and define these values. Each year we focus on one of our core values and strive to incorporate it into many of the programs we present. This year we are going to focus on the value of civility and hope to improve the quality of life on campus by promoting this value throughout our community. Civility is treating others with respect and valuing them. In the classroom, on the playing fields, and in all areas of residential life, members of the Avon community are expected to interact with each other respectfully. Because of the close community living that we experience at Avon, we will, on occasion, find ourselves in situations where conflicts arise. In the spirit of civility, these conflicts must be resolved without resorting to physical or verbal outbursts. In truly valuing the opinion of others, we will find emotional balance and civil resolutions to our conflicts. The Golden Rule, which advises us to “do unto others as we would have them do unto us,” has for centuries provided us with wise insight into the essence of civility.
