2 the grammar school

It is my pleasure to welcome you to the fall 2013 edition of Roots & Wings,The Grammar School’s publication de-signed to highlight and celebrate the vast accomplishments and noteworthy undertakings of our students, faculty,alumni, and friends.

This has been an exciting and particularlybusy fall for TGS as we have embarked on a number of new initiatives. From ournew afterschool program, The Power ofDiscovery, to our community dinners, tothe development of a new website, TGS

has been busy. Perhaps most exciting has been the collaborativework of the community to create a new Strategic Plan, which willhelp guide The Grammar School’s direction and energy for thenext five years. We are slated to finish our aspirational and realis-tic Strategic Plan before the Board of Trustees reconvenes inJanuary. I am confident that this plan addresses important issuesfacing TGS, while also assuring that the magic of our traditionsand incredibly strong school culture will remain as vibrant as ever.

As the new Head of School, I have enjoyed countless conversa-tions with faculty, parents, students, alumni, and friends of TGS,and I am continually impressed with the imprint a TGS educationhas on the lives of our students and their families. TGS providesthe first educational experiences for many young minds, and creates a strong platform for academic success in our alumni, asstudents leave with both a love for learning and honed criticalthinking skills.

I am confident that with the strong leadership of our talentedBoard of Trustees, our exceptional faculty and staff, and the commitment of our alumni and friends, TGS is well poised to stay vibrant and healthy for years to come.

Sincerely,

Dan J. Marchetti, P ’24Head of School

LIKE MOST INDEPENDENT SCHOOLS,

THE GRAMMAR SCHOOL’S TUITION COVERS

ONLY 87% OF THE COST TO EDUCATE OUR

STUDENTS. THE ANNUAL FUND EXISTS

TO HELP FILL THAT REMAINING GAP.

The Grammar School welcomes new members to its community,as well as previous faculty and staff with new responsibilities.

Dan Marchetti began his tenure as Head of School in July; PeterEden, President of Landmark College, is the new chair of theBoard of Trustees; and Hannah Richards is the new art teacher.David Hull, who was a half year fifth grade substitute last spring,is the technology coordinator, and Liz Jackson, Spanish teacher,has added fifth grade Spanish classes to her position.

Welcome from TGS Board Chair Peter Eden

The Board of Trustees of The Grammar School joins you in thiscelebration of community that occurs through Roots & Wings.

We have so much to recognize and honor, and this terrific publi-cation is but just one way we display the strengths of TGS.

Trustees have a duty of care and a duty of loyalty to TGS. In ourduty of care we provide oversight to TGS and strive to ensure thatgood judgment occurs with any decision or initiative. In our dutyof loyalty, allegiance to TGS is of paramount importance, as weare careful to put the best interest of the School ahead of all else.

This is an important time for TGS to have a board committed tothe duties of care and loyalty. Head of School Dan Marchetti is offto a very good start, and the excellent faculty and staff of TGS areworking hard to strengthen existing traditions and elements ofthe School, while simultaneously creating a bold but achievablestrategic plan that we believe will create a TGS that best serves thestudents of today and those of tomorrow.

TGS has an enduring ethos built on our ability to shape younglearners and provide an exquisitely balanced overall student expe-rience. This success has continued even in times of economicchallenge. An ability to provide excellence for our students underany conditions is a wonderful, rare quality — but imagine whatTGS could do if financial strength were truly ensured througheven greater support to this important non-profit private institu-tion. Imagine what a gift it would be to Dan, the faculty and staff,the founders and the many past and present TGS donors, and es-pecially the students, if we all lived up to this duty of care and loy-alty and put TGS at the very top of the list when consideringphilanthropic support each year. That added support, combinedwith the pervading sense of goodness that comes from the cam-pus and the community, will allow TGS to reach new heights andchange even more lives every day.

Thank you for your support of TGS. It is our duty, as a commu-nity, to keep this important institution strong and vibrant as weevolve to meet our goals.

With kind regards,Peter Eden, Ph.D., P ’22

David Hull, Technology CoordinatorDavid Hull, father of Lucy, ’22, and Zinnia,’20, is the new technology coordinator atTGS. He has taken over from Alli Lubin,who was eager to focus exclusively on herbusy job as music director. David had beenthe fifth grade teacher since January 2013,filling in for Charlie Boswell, who was on ahalf year sabbatical.

The school was in the process of changing its internet service andemail platform, and since the beginning of the fall, TGS has gottena fiber optic internet line that allows multiple users to access theinternet. David has provided leadership for The Grammar Schoolfaculty and staff to use a new Google email platform that enablesthem to connect with each other more readily.

David’s expertise, optimism, and continual good humor havemade him an invaluable addition to TGS.

Hannah Richards, Art Teacher Hannah Richards, the new art teacher atTGS, has experience teaching kindergartenthrough college level art students. Her goalis to encourage the serious work of play inher classroom. In her own studio, Hannahmakes drawings, paintings, and mono-prints about contingency and opposition,and thinks about the intersection of scien-tific inquiry with art. Hannah’s work has

been exhibited locally and internationally, and she is the recipientof both a Schultz Foundation grant and a Kahn Liberal ArtsInstitute Post-Baccalaureate Fellowship. For the past ten years, shehas been involved in developing non-toxic and sustainable print-making techniques for professional artists.

For her first multi-grade art project, Hannah had students designand paint a mural. All first through eighth graders participated inthe activity, which portrays a lively, welcoming tree at the entranceto the main building.

New Faces at TGS

With Ecuador as this year’s Global Education Theme, it hasbeen a focus for the first interdisciplinary art projects of the

year. Public art in Ecuador is common, and often governmentfunded; in keeping with that theme, each class has worked on amural at the entryway to the cubby room in the lower school.

Seventh and eighth graders designed the mural. In preparation,they looked at a variety of murals and street art in Ecuador. Allthe students submitted proposals for the project, and chose sev-enth grader Dylan Ray’s ’15 design. Every grade in the school hasworked on the mural in some capacity, with responsibilities dele-gated by Dylan.

In other Ecuador inspired projects, seventh graders created their own interpretations of the Aztec Lady of the Dead,Mictecacihautl, queen of the underworld, using the prompt imageof her “jaw agape to swallow the stars” from Aztec legend. Theydrew in neon oil pastels on black paper to highlight the skeletalwhites and brights. Sixth graders began a silkscreening project inwhich we looked at the symbolism of the colors and coat of armsin the Ecuadorian flag, using it as a starting point to make indi-vidual coats of arms and colors for flags, which we will thensilkscreen onto shirts. Fifth graders created colorful bread babiesor “guaguas” to adorn the Day of the Dead altar, and fourthgraders imagined their own versions of Quetzlcoatl, the bird-snake of Aztec and Mayan legend in drawings and sculptures.

Students remarked that the art projects have reinforced and en-hanced what they learn in the homerooms, group activities, andAll School Meetings, for a more comprehensive understanding ofEcuador and its culture.

This year’s Global Education Theme focuses on Ecuador. InMarch TGS eighth graders participated in a service learning

and language immersion program in Ecuador, which was so re-warding for the students that it will be repeated this year. To aug-ment that program, throughout the fall students in kindergartenthrough sixth grade are studying Ecuador in classes and as well asin small group activities. Mixed age groups meet once a week forcooking Ecuadorian foods, learning traditional music and dance,creating culturally inspired clay sculptures and applique, and con-structing a clay bread oven.

The Ecuador immersion program, launched by Spanish teacherLiz Jackson, P ’19, ’21, includes students working and staying onNahual-Kroka farm in Palugo, near Quito, the capital of Ecuador.Liz notes that at Nahual-Kroka Sustainable Farm and School, themission is to reinforce the connection between the human beingand his/her environment. The farmers and residents in Nahual arededicated to sustainable living and farming, which is practiced inevery aspect of life through their dairy farming, sustainable or-ganic agriculture, ecological building, wilderness training, andpermaculture school. The farm has organic gardens that feed 30families each week, and there are numerous free-grazing domesti-cated farm animals.

The program will take place during spring vacation, and is volun-tary for all eighth graders. Liz is spearheading fundraising eventsto help pay for the cost of the trip. For more information, pleaseemail [email protected].

Reflections on the Service Learning Trip to Ecuador By Libby Green, ’13

Last April, I was granted the opportunity to take The GrammarSchool’s service learning trip to Ecuador. At Nahual-Kroka

Farm, I felt immediately at home. The setting, a lush, green, natu-ral place with a view I had previously only dreamed about, in-voked a specific feeling of peace, contentment, and hunger tolearn. I felt truly inspired here before we even began working onthe farm.

I felt a sense of purpose and fulfillment. I learned how to do newthings, all the while helping people. There is little more gratifyingthan bonding with friends over hay and alfalfa in Ecuador. My favorite chore was milking. We had to wake up before 4 in themorning, while the southern stars were still awake and the sunwas only considering making an appearance.

One of the most inspiring parts of this trip was taking the cows totheir pastures. We walked through a narrow pathway in the woodsbeside a meadow, a single file line of cows stretching aroundbends in front of us, dewy brush and singing birds to our right,occasional glances of the rolling hills to our left, and an incrediblegolden view of the volcano Cotopaxi stretching above the bushes.The air was thin, sweet, and refreshing, and I felt I great sense ofpeace and centeredness come over me.

I had several other experiences like this; during the hike throughrolling hills and glassy lakes on a cold, rainy day, sitting in the ani-mal field drawing the view as the sun set over the hills and moun-tains, playing guitar and singing around the campfire, even justcooking in the hand-built kitchen or reading in the hammock onthe deck of the cabin.

I gained so much from this trip. I went home a different person; Iwas more peaceful, more grateful, closer to my classmates, moreadventurous, and had a new outlook on life. It was there that Iwrote all of my bestpoetry, drew all ofmy best art, andlearned more aboutmyself than Ithought existed in-side me. It wasthere, too, that I de-cided I’d be travel-ling the world assoon as I have theopportunity, and Iknow that I’ll be re-visiting the farm inEcuador.

Field trips have been an integral part of The Grammar School’scurriculum since the school was founded. TGS values education

outside the classroom, and students at TGS have many opportuni-ties to learn beyond our campus. For all students at the school,community service, history, art, music, sports, language, and cul-ture, are areas enhanced by trips. Students and alumni describefield trips as some of the most rewarding and memorable events oftheir time at TGS. Traditional, annual field trips, as well as a varietyof curriculum related activities that take students off campus, are avaluable and important feature of every TGS student’s education.

A sampling of annual field trips at TGS:• Preschool and kindergarten blueberry and apple picking atGreen Mountain Orchards

• First grade visits to Putney Main Street to map the town

• Second grade annual hawk watch on Putney Mountain

• Third grade monthly trips to Thompson House Nursing Home

in Brattleboro and local history museums and sites

• Fourth grade annual Connecticut River floating exploration

• Fifth grade Cardigan Mountain hike and whitewater rafting

• Sixth grade Lake Champlain camping trip and visits to theVermont State House and Boston

• Seventh grade trips to Mount Moosilauke and Quebec

• Eighth grade trips go to Takodah/Monadnock, Boston, andNantucket

• All school hike and lunch on Putney Mountain

• Spanish trips to Spanish Harlem and Ecuador and the Frenchexchange with students from Montreal

The list is long and inspiring, and as one student remarked, “Inmy old school, going on a hike and writing poetry at the top of amountain would have been a one time event. Here we do activitieslike that every week!”

The Grammar School is excited to announce the installation of anew biomass wood pellet heating system for the main building

to replace the 16 year-old wood chip/oil boiler. Building managerChris Harlow P ’96, ’98, ’99 and business manager Deb Gray P ’04researched many pellet systems before choosing Froling Energy ofPeterborough, NH to design and install the system for TGS.

Froling Energy estimates that in ten years the entire system will bepaid for from the savings in fuel costs. According to FrolingEnergy, during the past several years the school has used an aver-age of 4400 gallons of fuel oil during the heating season, whichwill be replaced by an average of 44 tons of pellets, a cost savingsof $5000 per year. Froling’s Jim Van Balkenburgh says, “Theschool ends up with a system that is more reliable [than the oldone], with less maintenance and zero fossil fuel use.”

The two new 60-fuel biomass boilers will have a total maximumoutput of 400,000 BTUs per hour, burning at 83% efficiency onaverage and netting 13,500 BTUs per ton of pellets. They arehoused in the old chip house, and there is little noticeable differ-ence from the outside. From the basement, however, instead of the chip hopper there are now two brand new shiny red boilers.As Deb Gray says, “It looks like the boiler room of the Titanicdown there!”

The biomass system furthers The Grammar School’s commitmentto use more sustainable and local sources of energy. The school’ssolar panel array, installed and funded by the local solar companySoveren in 2012, generates enough power to cover most of theschool’s electrical needs. Soveren owner Peter Thurell noted thatwhen the panels are purchased by TGS, that cost will be balancedby the power produced. He says that when TGS has paid off thepurchase price, “The system should meet the school’s electricityrequirements for another 35 years or so for free, except for main-tenance and occasional inverter repairs.”

TGS is proud of these initiatives that support our educational phi-losophy. Students in the Upper School will monitor energy outputand usage throughout the year, as the school continues to pursuegreen and sustainable sources of energy.

Amajor focus of the seventh grade sci-ence curriculum under teacher Paul

“Hop” Hopkins, P ’19, 22, is the study oftrees on campus and throughout NewEngland. As an extension of their research,last spring the seventh grades took part inan official Vermont state survey of thehemlock woolly adelgid (HWA), an inva-sive insect threatening hemlock trees inVermont and the eastern US. Under theguidance of TGS parent Jordan Fletcher, P’16, ’19, of Fletcher Tree Service, studentsinvestigated the hemlock stands on TheGrammar School campus for HWA.Fletcher, who is a Vermont First Detectorfor HWH, presented them with informa-tion on how the insects injure hemlocks,and ways to combat the infestation withchemicals, fungi, and other pests. Hetrained students to identify potential inva-sive insects, so they could be included forthe survey. Seventh graders were able iden-tify several trees infested with the woollyadelgid, important information that wasincluded in the state survey.

Hop noted that last spring’s project was re-warding and educational, and he plans tointroduce the survey to this year’s seventhgrade, as well.

On Saturday, October 12 from 10 am to 4 pm, TGS was trans-formed into a medieval village as it celebrated 25 years of the

Medieval Faire. Thanks to the efforts of chair Beth Stickney, P ’20,and the Medieval Faire committee, it was the biggest day ever atthe Faire. Over 1400 knights, princesses, and paupers, along withtheir families, enjoyed a beautiful October day with delicious foodand exciting medieval games and activities.

Jaja Laughlin, P ’14, former chair of the Medieval Faire committeeand a long time Medieval Faire organizer, has been an inspirationfor all workers and fairegoers for many years. The GrammarSchool community gives enormous thank you for her leadershipand efforts. We all will miss her creative guidance.

We are excited for the continuing success of the Faire under BethStickney’s expert guidance.

Thanks to TGS class of 2012 who gave the school a gift that willkeep on growing! Students provided funds and helped build

three raised garden beds near the playground. With the leadershipof parent Simon Renault P ’23, these gardens have had a success-ful first season and students are experiencing the rewards of plan-ning, tending, and harvesting vegetables and flowers.

Simon is passionate about farming, locally produced food, andnatural science. He taught a series of lessons to students in gradesK-5 that inspired kids to ask questions, observe changes, and fol-low a life cycle from seed to table. Beginning with the study ofsoils, where students were able to feel different soil samples suchas silt, gravel, and sand, Simon then taught the classes how to mixtheir own garden soil with loam and composted organic matter.They learned about the importance of earthworms in improvingthe soil, and how to plant vegetables and flowers. Every lesson wasa hands-on experience for students to participate in plantingseeds and observing changes over time.

The harvest was celebrated with enthusiasm as students preservedand cooked with the bounty. They dried carrots, tomatoes, andbeans, used pumpkins and Indian corn to decorate the school,and made potato soup, bean spread, and sunflower seed artwork.As part of this series, groups of students visited two local farms tolearn more about farming. They are in the process of putting thegardens to bed for the winter, and preparing them for springplanting by covering them with a warm blanket of dried leaves.

This has been a wonderful opportunity for students to experienceof the cycles of season and growth right here at TGS, and we hopeto continue the garden project in future seasons.

TGS class of 2018 (this year’s fourth grade) has been fortunate tohave US Ski Team XC skier Noah Hoffman as a class mentor

for the past two years, and was very excited to welcome him backin November for avisit before heheaded to Norwayfor early season ski-ing. He answeredquestions and dis-cussed his upcom-ing ski season,including racing inthe Olympics inSochi, Russia inFebruary, 2014.

Noah comes toPutney severaltimes a year to meetwith his coach ZachCaldwell ’84, andZach’s son Gunnar

’18 first introduced him to TGS. As they have since second grade,Noah’s loyal and enthusiastic class of ’18 fans will follow hisprogress throughout the winter.

Ken says, “It was a real surprise, and a huge honor, to have beenselected Early Childhood Educator of the Year. It’s a tribute to allthe wonderful mentors, colleagues, parents, and children that havecontributed to The Grammar School Preschool all these years. I’mproud of the program we offer, and look forward to coming toschool each and every day!”

(Reprinted by permission of Windham Childcare)

Ken Brautigam has been at the helm of The Grammar School’sPreschool program since it’s creation nearly 20 years ago.

On a recent visit to The Grammar School in Putney a motherwalked into the preschool classroom and found all of the childrengathered around a table helping Lead Teacher Ken Brautigam per-form a science experiment with baking soda, a bottle, and a rub-ber glove. The students were in various outfits, some of themhaving migrated over from the dress up corner, and they were allfixated on what he was doing. “The atmosphere was appropriatelyrelaxed, which allowed the students to ask questions and Ken washappy to repeat the experiment over and over so that studentscould see the glove inflate many times over,” wrote Apple Gifford[P ’22, ’20], mother of one of the preschoolers. “He fielded theirquestions with patience, and did not demand their attention, butrather earned it with his steady, calm approach to the activity.”Such a scene helps to describe why Ken Brautigam has beennamed Windham Child Care Association’s Early ChildhoodEducator of the Year. Ken has been teaching at The GrammarSchool for nearly two decades.

Ken’s calling to work with youth started young. One of his first jobswas working at his local Parks & Recreation Department as a coach’shelper for Little League teams. In high school, after his family movedfrom Wisconsin to Kentucky, he worked at the local 4H program.With both parents as teachers, education was all around him grow-ing up — his father taught at the university while his mother starteda preschool program and went on to train other preschool teachers.Three of Ken’s four siblings are also now educators.

After getting his degree and certification to teach high school, Kenbegan his job search in Putney just as The Grammar School wasstarting up a preschool program. Nancy Calicchio [P ’77, ’78] wasthe director at the time. “Nancy had a vision of what the pre-school could look like,” Ken remembers. “I was a newcomer andshe provided me with all the right direction, encouragement andsupport to go out and get the training I needed.”

The creation of the program borrowed heavily from the Waldorf,Reggio Emilia and Responsive Classroom approaches to educa-tion. Over the years, with support from colleagues and parentsand inspired by the children themselves, Ken worked to fine-tune

the program. “Wemake a lot of roomfor play. Childrenlearn deeply andthoroughly whenthey’re having fun.”

Ken makes a strongcommitment topartner with par-ents in his program.Melanie Kent, a par-ent in the program,appreciates thisconnection. “There is a lot of interaction between Ken and parentsthrough regular conferences, his blog, and written narrative reportsabout our children and how they are doing. I appreciate that drop-off is a fluid time where parents can be in the classroom easing thetransition to the school day. He makes himself very available forparents should they need to check in about anything at anytime.”

Over the years Ken has learned as much from the parents in hisprogram as they have from him. “Working so closely with differ-ent families has taught me a variety of strategies required forworking with different learning styles,” he says.

Dan Marchetti is the current Head of School. He was thrilled tolearn of Ken’s recognition. “Ken founded our Preschool programat The Grammar School and has been the life-blood of the pro-gram ever since, serving as the foundation for countless students’transformational growth, and inspiring them with a sense of won-der. Ken cultivates kindness, values, and a truly embodies TheGrammar School philosophy of whole child education. We are sohappy for Ken to receive this formal acknowledgment, and we re-main grateful to him for his years of exemplary service.”

Ken has served on The Putney Library Board and is currently theAssistant Chair of the Windham Child Care Association Board ofDirectors where he’s been involved for six years. He’s played a piv-otal role in planning their annual Fall Into Art benefit which hasgrown each year. Executive Director Elizabeth Raposa describeshim as "thoughtful and insightful" and extremely supportive ofthose working on behalf of young children. Board Chair JimMaland agrees. “Ken’s expertise as an educator has been invaluabletowards many WCCA decisions. Known for his wonderful senseof humor, he is a great listener, he takes on tasks with passion andunderstanding and he continually works hard to build a growingcommunity of supporters of high-quality child care.”

TGS Fun Run and Invitational 2013

The Grammar School’s running program,established more than three decades ago,

continues to thrive and grow. Former TGSteacher and Head of School Chris OsgoodP ’95, ‘97 remembers that he started a formof TGS running for Zach Caldwell ’84, BillSpire ’85, Aleika McAllister ’88, Brant Stead’88 and a couple of others students in theearly 1980s, when the runners raced atNorthfield Mount Hermon School. In theearly days a number of area schools hostedsmall, dual meets throughout the fall season,but over the years some of those schools havedropped their programs or have unable tohold races. TGS has become an increasinglypopular venue for running races, and thisyear the school hosted three popular meets.

Almost 100 racers participated in the 2ndAnnual Fun Run on October 9 at GreenMountain Orchards, where after the racethe runners enjoyed hot cider and con-sumed almost 400 warm cider donuts. Atthe Invitational on October 23, more than130 racers from BAMS, Academy, PutneyCentral School, Ludlow, Riverside,Reading, and The Grammar School partic-ipated in the .5 mile, mile, and 1.5 mileraces on an open, hilly field near the

school. In addition, 16 eager runnersjoined the second annual untimedLollipop race for children 5 years andyounger, where the prize was a lollipop at the finish line.

In the Invitational scored races, runnersreceived first, second, third, or participantribbons, and the winning teams wereawarded trophies. TGS won the boys teamtrophy in the .5 mile race, and the girlsteam trophy in the mile.

After the races, runners were treated tofresh cider donuts and apples from GreenMountain Orchards in Putney.

SheWinS Event

TGS hosted an open 5K fundraising raceon October 6 to raise money for

SheWinS (sports helping to empowerwomen in South Africa). Beth Henkle, ’03,a soccer coach for SheWinS in South Africafor the past three years, organized theevent. (Henkle also has coached K–1–2soccer for the three seasons as well as 3–4soccer at TGS this fall.) Though lightly at-tended because of inclement weather, allthe participants enjoyed the run, includingHead of School Dan Marchetti.

Beth notes that there are exciting plans fora SheWinS/TGS relationship. South Africawill be the focus of the school’s GlobalEducation Theme in the 2014–2015 schoolyear. The Grammar School is exploring thepossibility of an exchange with studentsfrom the SheWinS program in the future,including hosting students at a soccercamp on campus, and having TGS stu-dents travel to Memel, South Africa to par-ticipate in the SheWinS soccer program

there. Giving local students the opportu-nity to interact with peers from anotherculture would foster mutual understand-ing and a sense of global community.

She writes, “The lessons I have learnedthrough my involvement with SheWinSare many, but the one that stands abovethe rest is the revelation that the seeminglysmallest moments of connection andfriendship, be they teaching, coaching,learning, or playing, can have immeasura-ble effects. What SheWinS teaches all thoseinvolved is that an understanding of thelessons we can learn from participation insports is what really matters. The truevalue of sports, especially for young girls,lies in what they can teach: teamwork andself-confidence, selflessness and individualachievement, the value of friendships onand off the field, the benefits of hard work,and the freedom of play.”

session. She joins four other TGS alumni who have served aspages for six weeks during the session, including Sarah Levine ’08,Greer Cowan ’09, Roo Weed ’10, and Sophie Basescu ’13.

Fifth grader Wells Mundell-Wood ’17 had a poem selected forpublication in the Vermont Young Writer’s Project Anthology.Susan Reid, publications coordinator for the Young WritersProject, says, “Wells Mundell-Wood’s piece, The First Time, is in-cluded in Anthology 5 because it is among the best from the2012–2013 school year. Our team of judges combed throughabout 12,000 submissions…. and had to be extremely selective tomake a final list because we had space for less than 70 pieces inour book.”

The First Time

by Wells Mundell-Wood

I remember the first timemy toe, just one toe, dangled in the water,creating never-ending circlessurrounding my first step.A sign of true creativityin my path.I remember the first timethe pencil made contactwith the paper.The first time,if you twisted and turned it,it could form the most complicated,most confusing,most vaguedrawing.I remember the first timeI blew out the candle,the little flickering flame,dancing above the stick,my thoughts pondering with incredible hope.I remember the first timeI sat, leaning against a tree trunkand let my mind flowinto the breathtaking lettersof a book.I remember the first timeI let my heart flowinto a story, yet to be created.A story of the twists and turnsof what could finally appear to be my life.

Fifth grader Amelia Opsahl ’17 was featured in the Keene Sentinelfor her athletic and academic accomplishments this past year.From the article A 10-year-old of many talents by contributingwriter Joan Geary:

She’s a champion figure skater with a host of medals toprove it, and plays a key role with a local baseball team.She’s enrolled in a highly selective academic programthrough John Hopkins University, writes mystery storiesand regularly runs 5K road races. In her free time, shecares for homeless dogs. And Amelia Opsahl, 10, ofChesterfield will soon be a fifth-grader.“I like to havegoals,” she said. “Getting things done and getting resultsis rewarding. It’s good to have goals and to be happydoing what you do.”

Sixth grader Ella Warner ’16 was one of 30 individuals who wereselected for the Circus Smirkus 2013 performing troupe for theBig Top Tour.

Four TGS students, including Noa ’19 Amalia ’18, and MiaRubinstein ’13, and Roselle Lovell-Smith ’13, will act in the YoungShakespeare Players East production of Macbeth, and have beeninvited to perform at Amherst College on December 14, 2013.

Celine Mudahakana ’13, is a native ofRwanda. She traveled there last year andspent time in Kigali working withCHABHA (Children Affected ByHIV/AIDS), a non-profit organization thatraises funds for grassroots projects inRwanda and Burundi that care for orphansand other children affected by HIV/AIDS.Older children learn trades throughCHABHA’s Project Independence.

Upon returning, Celine put on an exhibit innearby Brattleboro of her black and whitephotos and spoke about her experiencesworking with the children who are served byCHABHA. She has since organized a com-munity work day to benefit CHABHA andsold many of her beautiful art pieces, prima-rily scarves made on the looms in the weav-ing studio, all for the benefit of CHABHA.In July 2013, Celine traveled to Kigali withher weaving teacher, Melissa Johnson, PatDodge, recent alumni Ethan Roos ’13, BeckyHiam ’13, Greer Cowan ’13, and currentstudents Sundara ’14 and Bea ’14, to de-liver a selection of yarns and four looms tocreate a weaving workshop. They alsotrained young Rwandans on how to use thelooms to create items to sell. Several stores inKigali are interested in marketing the weav-ings that are produced and there is the pos-sibility of marketing them in New York Cityas well. Melissa says, “We are optimistic thatthis project will make a difference in the livesof Rwandans affected by HIV/AIDS and liv-ing with very limited resources.”
