BALDWIN ATHLETICS:
BLUE, GRAY AND GREEN
Baldwin Athletics’ new bicycle is not
the department’s only green practice,
but it is the newest. As a way to scoot
around campus easily to catch more
games and connect with students,
the Athletics department purchased a
bike this fall, instead of a more costly
golf cart or gator. The cross country
and track team coaches also have the
bike available to ride alongside
athletes during training. “It’s a green
and cost-effective way of getting
around campus and the
community,” commented
Deb Surgi, director of athletics.
“We’re very committed to a green
world here in Athletics.” In addition
to the bike, the Athletics Department
recently donated old uniforms
from six teams; the Salvation Army
will shred them and put the fabric
to new use.
UPPER SCHOOL CREW
Members of the Upper School crew team

ASSOCIATION IS STRONG
The Upper School Baldwin Athletic Association
hosted a party on the Athletic Center back porch

work and kicked off another spirited year for the
Athletic Association.
