Summer Dance Intensive

Happy summer everyone!

I’m writing to make sure everyone knows that the first ever Williston Summer Dance Intensive will be held in August right here on the Williston campus! Open to dancers aged 12- 18, this week long intensive camp offers technique and composition classes to students who wish to explore their own creative voices, or to work on building their strength, flexibility, versatility, and technical skills. The camp will be held the week of August 13 – 18, and will end with an informal showing of dance for parents and friends on Saturday the 18th.

Registration is happening now and is ongoing until August 1st. There are limited spaces, so please let me know if you would like to participate. I invite each of you to check out the web page for more information at www.williston.com/summerdance. As always, please feel free to let me know if you have any questions. If you know someone who would be interested in participating, but is not a Williston student, please pass this email on.

Thanks everyone! Enjoy your summer!

Final Stretch in the Library

Hello students-

We’re seeing productive work and many interesting topics in the library!  Here are some reminders to help make the final week go smoothly for you:

Ask a librarian for help with your research!
That’s what we do.

Plan ahead with printing
The writing of even the most carefully organized paper has a way of expanding to fill the quickly diminishing time before a deadline, and nearly all of us are guilty of procrastinating at some point.  But it’s not hard to get up early!  So print ahead of the 8:27 crowd waiting at the printer, and you’ll start the day with ease and a smile.  A special treat will be here for those who come in at 8:00 each morning this week.
Ditto for planning ahead and not trying to print right before the period when your paper is due.

Arrange group studying in common rooms or Whitaker Bement, and, during the day, outside
Some students like to study in groups, but the library is not the spot for loud discussions.  If you would like to study with your classmates during evening study hall, it is possible to use a room in Whitaker Bement, after emailing Mr. Fay and/or Ms. Evelti ahead for permission.

Work on collaborative assignments quietly in the library
The iMacs are ideal for laying out multiple pages.  Project partners may work quietly together.  If your project has audio, you are welcome to use the library office for recording.

Finish with panache and pride
The library’s binding machine lifts the level of your paper to a polished publication.  We’ll be glad to fill the display shelf with students’ work!

The Archives Wants Your Work

That’s right.  That fantastic term paper . . . groundbreaking lab report . . . blindingly brilliant photo project . . . senior English portfolio . . . Middle School science project . . .

OK, we don’t always produce blinding brilliance.  Believe me, I know.  But I hope that all of you have, at some point this year, produced something you’re proud of.  Perhaps many things!

So why do I want them?

Because the Archives’ mission is to actively collect and preserve the primary sources of The Williston Northampton School’s history.  The key word in there is “school.”  It’s easy to document history through our publications, theater photographs, box scores, etc.  But we need to document our academic program as well, and that’s harder to do — even though it is the most important reason we’re here.  (Consider this: all those publications, photographs, scores, etc., wouldn’t exist if we didn’t hold classes.)

I’m looking for representative examples of good student work in every subject and every grade level.  I urge you to send me something . . . or a lot of things.  Email attachments and paper are equally welcome, with or without teacher comments.  And they’ll become part of the body of documents that define our history.  Meaning yours.

Thanks,

Mr. Teller
