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
