Weil House & Barn Complex

We are so pleased to share the great progress that was made this year with this important building project, which will serve to both provide a new welcoming entrance to campus as well as add additional teaching and learning space up the hill, during the 2022–23 school year.

In addition to gaining the first of the necessary approvals from the Town of Bedford to begin construction, we assembled a strong campaign committee to close the planning/fundraising phase of the project, featured the project at the PA Spring Barn Dance, made the WHBC the centerpiece of the Class of 2022 Senior Class Gift, and we are beginning work on the additional classroom space in Sylvan Hall, which will have an immediate impact on students, faculty, and staff.

We are deeply grateful to all of the members of the Harvey community who have been so patient and supportive as we have managed the various phases of the project. We would like to recognize all of the members of the community who contributed to the campaign between July 2021 and June 2022. This includes those who raised their paddles at the Spring Barn Dance and members of the Class of 2022. We are currently more than 50% of the way to our goal — thank you!

IMPACT STORY Leslie Berni P’22, 26

When we approached Leslie Berni in the spring of 2020 to become the next PA president, we knew that we were experiencing unusual times. We had no idea what the next two days, let alone the next two years, would look like. But after asking a few thoughtful questions, Les, who was running a thriving business and managing a family of five, expressed tremendous passion for and commitment to Harvey and said yes.

As the unprecedented 2019–20 school year came to a close, it became more and more apparent that Les had agreed to much more than leading the Parent Association. Her charge included finding ways to keep the school community tight and cohesive, helping with the development of a safe reopening plan, and, most significantly, reinventing the PA to provide programming that would create unity even though we would likely be apart for much of her term.

For the next two years, Les fielded multiple phone calls and emails, welcomed new families, brainstormed innovative ideas, learned the ins and outs of Zoom, and found a myriad of ways every day, week, and month to keep the Harvey community’s bonds tight.

Two years later, as we look back on all that Les accomplished — together with her extraordinary group of volunteers and her devoted husband, Mark — the tremendous impact that Les has had on the community is clear. During her tenure, the PA added a book club, hiking group, Zoom get-togethers, several cooking classes, and a DEI PA group, among other initiatives. Les not only held us together but she created joyful and meaningful opportunities for parents to stay connected that were unimaginable two short years ago. Thank you, Les. It is hard to imagine how we would have navigated the waters as a parent community without you.
