Afternoon Activities (Athletics)
Because of High Mowing's emphasis on the physical well-being of its students, each is required to participate in a sport or "physical discipline" on weekday afternoons. These are termed afternoon activities, and include both team sports and other activities. The team sports High Mowing offers are Men's/Women's Soccer and Cross Country Running in the fall, Men's/Women's Basketball in the Winter, and Men's Baseball in the Spring for team sports. Other afternoon activities may include, depending on the year and season, yoga, downhill/cross-country skiing, ultimate (frisbee), indoor rock climbing, or folk dancing. Physical education requirements fulfilled by participation in afternoon activities are necessary to graduate from High Mowing.

Famous quotes containing the words afternoon and/or activities:
“If you are one of the hewers of wood and drawers of small weekly paychecks, your letters will have to contain some few items of news or they will be accounted dry stuff.... But if you happen to be of a literary turn of mind, or are, in any way, likely to become famous, you may settle down to an afternoon of letter-writing on nothing more sprightly in the way of news than the shifting of the wind from south to south-east.”
—Robert Benchley (1889–1945)
“If it is to be done well, child-rearing requires, more than most activities of life, a good deal of decentering from one’s own needs and perspectives. Such decentering is relatively easy when a society is stable and when there is an extended, supportive structure that the parent can depend upon.”
—David Elkind (20th century)
