We had a wonderful time at the Reunion this past June. Over 160 alumni, their families, and faculty past and present came together on a gorgeous summer weekend in the Berkshires. We celebrated the dedication of the Ellen Geer Sangster, led by Vermont Governor Peter Shumlin ’74, Louis See Bingham ’40, and co-directors Bill Bennett and Peter Smith ’74.

Watch the dedication:

A hard-played soccer game, wood and garden work program crews, music and dancing in the evening, and lots of good food and conversation all contributed to a great Reunion. We’re happy to share these pictures of the weekend; look for more in our upcoming printed Newsletter (unfortunately, no pictures of the magical fireflies that joined the festivities!). Next Reunion is June 2013; please make plans to join us!

Alumni, parents, students,  friends and prospective families gathered on a beautiful spring afternoon on April 30 to celebrate the completion of the music and arts buildings. The construction of the ceramics building, the final phase of the project, is scheduled to begin shortly and to be completed by the opening of school this September.

We had a great time in New York on Friday evening, February 4. Special thanks to Matthew Tivy ’79 chef/owner  at Café du Soleil and Tokyo Pop for again providing delicious food for us while we talked the night away!  More pictures coming in our next Newsletter. We’ll see you next at Reunion in Williamstown in June, and again in February 2012 back in New York!
