Children’s Center Staff Honored

Dear Williston Community,

It is my pleasure to share with you that Charlene Cross, our toddler teacher and the Assistant Children’s Center Administrator, and Keira Durrett ’88, our Children’s Center Director, were both recognized by the Massachusetts Department of Early Education and Care for their outstanding work.

Each year the Massachusetts Department of Early Education and Care gives out awards to exceptional educators and leaders in the field of early childhood education in each region of the state.  I am proud to announce that Charlene has won the Exceptional Educator Award and Keira has won the Exceptional Leader Award.  These awards are for Region 1 in the state which includes Hampden, Hampshire, Franklin and Berkshire Counties.

Congratulations to Charlene and Keira on this fantastic achievement!  I hope you will congratulate both of them when you see them on campus—this award comes as no surprise, but it’s a testament to the work they do and the passion with which they do.

Sincerely,

Bob

Closing Days Schedule

The Academic Awards Ceremony will be held on Saturday, May 25 at 9:30 a.m. All Upper School students are required to be on campus for this event. Parents will be notified in advance if their student is receiving an award. The ceremony, which will be held on the Quad (under the tent that will be set up for Commencement), will be photographed and recorded. Parents will be able to print pictures and view the event online in the next week.

Baccalaureate is Saturday, May 25 at 8:00 p.m. in Phillips Stevens Chapel. This event is limited to the Class of 2013, their families, and guests due to the limited space in the Chapel. There will be required activities for freshmen, sophomore, and junior boarding students that evening; these activities are optional for day students.

This year, underclassmen will be required to attend Commencement. Each of the classes will be part of the academic procession and will be there as the Class of 2013 graduates. Students should be in academic formal dress: ties and blazers for boys (no tennis shoes); dresses, skirts, or dress pants for girls.

All students should be at the Quad by 8:45 a.m. on Sunday, May 26 to line up for the procession, which will begin at 9:30 a.m. The ceremony, which will be webcast, will conclude by 11:30 a.m., when a gourmet box lunch will be served to all students and their families on the Quad.

If you have any questions, please be in touch with Associate Head of School Jeff Ketcham at (413) 529-3232 or by email.

Please note that this information and more scheduling details are also on the Commencement page of the website.
