Thanksgiving Dinner on Nov. 19

Our annual Thanksgiving Dinner will be held on Tuesday, November 19th from 5:00 – 7:30 p.m. in the dining hall.  Once again we will be collecting nonperishable food items at the dinner to be donated to the Easthampton Community Center to help with the increasing demand of food items that they encounter this time of year.  This dinner is not only a time for us to come together as a Williston community but to also help those in need in our extended community of greater Easthampton

Veterans Day

Dear Community:

Many of us have relatives who have served or are serving in the armed forces, and while we are hosting our annual Open House for prospective students and their families, I hope you find time today to reflect on those who have made our lives better through their sacrifice.

Veterans Day has special meaning in a year where so many men and women are serving overseas, and again, there are more than a few in the greater Williston family for whom this day holds even greater significance.

I have a friend who was on the Marine Honor Guard at Arlington Cemetery back in the day, and I know that I will reach out to him with a short note of thanks and appreciation.

So on this day of national memory and pride, pause, reflect, and give thanks.

Finally, let’s make sure everyone is open and welcoming to our guests on campus and give our visitors a lasting impression of what makes our school such a special place.

Hail to Williston Northampton!

Mr. Hill
