The Axehead Circular, Episode 4 – Calendar

In this episode Trent does a survey of the academic calendar used by St. Boniface Lutheran School and the St. Sarah Cottage School. He discusses the convention followed by the school for naming its academic terms, makes a digression on the propriety and rectitude of Thanksgiving as a civil Christian holiday, and gives the rationale for the liberal distribution of breaks throughout the school year. The episode wraps up with a discussion of the two testing weeks on the calendar, the reason for the variable lengths of the terms of the school year, why you should eat steak, and the rationale for tying “Spring Break” to Holy Week and Easter Week every year.
