Help Give the Gift of Warmth!

Dear Williston,

I am happy to announce that the Community Service Club’s Blanket Drive is being extended for an additional week.

Please consider giving the gift of warmth to local homeless individuals that do not receive placement in a shelter.

If you have any extra blankets, please drop them off in our collection boxes located on the first floor of the Schoolhouse, outside of the Campus Store, or in the Middle School.

Boarders, if you are packing up for Spring Break and find any blankets that you might not need, please bring them by!

During these cold winter months, one blanket can truly change a life. Let’s come together as a community and help those that are less fortunate!

Thank you in advance for your participation!

Sincerely,
The Community Service Club

YouthFilms to Showcase Work of Four

Four students will have their films screened at a showcase of young filmmakers in Northampton this weekend.

Jilly Lim, Cade Zawacki, Alex Kozikowski, and Charles Frank all had work accepted by YouthFilm 2013, which will take place at the Academic of Music Theatre on Saturday.

In congratulatory letters to the students, the festival’s review panel described the various films as “really well made,” “funny,” “original,” “captivating,” and “professional.”

The reviewers described Ms. Lim’s film, The Guilt, as having an “amazing story, great camera angles, you’re not afraid to move the camera around…The story hits home.”

Boom Guy 2.0 by Mr. Zawacki was described as  “funny, clever, original idea…That last scene with Ed is great, the cherry on top!”

Mr. Kozikowski’s Three Short Pieces earned praise for having excellent camerawork with “slow, short pans, the low angles, everything is really captivating and flows smoothly. The light is really nice as well. An excellent film!”

The review panel also accepted two of Mr. Frank’s films, Breezeless and Listen, which they described as “a notch above the rest.  Camera work…lighting, colors, editing, all worked so well together and told such great visual stories. And great performances, too! A really professional job.”

Muji 12 on February 26

Hello Everyone,

On Tuesday, February 26th at the Athletic Center, the 12th annual Muji Muhammad 3-on-3 basketball tournament will be held.  Play will begin at 2:00 p.m.  Over the years, the “Muji” has been a competitive and fun tournament and a great way to bridge the gap between the winter sports season and spring break.

A little bit of history: Muji Muhammad was post-graduate student from Boston during the 2001-2002 school year, and he and Mr. Dietrich (who worked in the admissions office) brought the idea for a co-ed, 3-on-3 tournament to Williston from their previous school, Nobles.  Even after Muji graduated, we kept the tournament going and named it in his honor.  For years, Jeremy Deason, middle school teacher and boys’ basketball coach, ran the tournament.  After he left Williston to become the athletic director at Stoneleigh Burnham a few years back, Mr. Kudla and I have had the pleasure of organizing this event.

Who can play?  Anyone in the Williston community.  Here are the rules: teams must be co-ed, and a team cannot have more than one varsity basketball player (male or female) or more than one adult on it.

Sign-ups: Email your team to me by 5:00 p.m. on Thursday, February 21st.  Let me know which player is the Team Captain and know that we will be using a regulation girls’ basketball for the tourney.  Mr. Kudla and I and a top-secret committee will meet in a top-secret location the night of February 21st to make up the tournament bracket.

T-Shirts!  You can order your Muji 12 t-shirts during lunch (or on the English floor) this week.  Half of the proceeds from t-shirt sales will help defray the costs of the baseball team’s 2014 spring break trip to Florida and the other half will be given to charity.

Questions: If you have any questions, please talk to me on campus or email me.

Looking forward to another great year.  See you on February 26th!

All My Best,
Mr. Sawyer
