Happy National Coming Out Day!
National Coming Out Day is a day to celebrate and support people who have come out as lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender. We want to wish every member of our community has a fabulous day!
And we are looking forward to Ally Week next week!

Dear Williston Community,
As many of you know, today marks the beginning of our Fall Trustee Weekend, and so we will be welcoming members of the Board to our meals, classrooms, and sidelines. Please feel free to introduce yourself to any Trustee whom you see—they are all eager to talk about Williston.
For students: Trustees are alumni, past parents, present parents, and others who agree to serve on Williston’s Board and who literally, “hold the trust.” In other words, the Board of Trustees works with administration of the school to ensure that we are Mission directed and future-oriented. Board members are incredibly generous with their time (they are volunteers) and their presence on campus signifies only a part of the many hours they devote over the course of the year to committee work and discussions—all in the service of making Williston the best school we can be.
I hope everyone enjoys this beautiful fall day, and, once again, please extend a warm Willy welcome to our guests.
With Purpose, Passion, and Integrity,
R.Hill

Another Williston Northampton family is in the Daily Hampshire Gazette!
Richard Thayer, Jr. ’77 P’05 ’08 has conserved 38 acres of farmland off Hocakanum Road in Hadley, parts of which have been in his family since 1747.

More recently the land has been leased to Barstowe_SSRqs Longview Farm, which grows hay and silage corn there…The land now has an Agricultural Preservation Restriction, which commits it to farm use in perpetuity.”
Tomorrow is PSAT pre-registration for juniors! During activities period from 3:00-3:45 p.m. on October 11, all juniors should report to the dining commons to pre-register for the test.
