CHRISTOPHER AND MADELINE ’26 WILSON ON THEIR WAY TO BACCALAUREATE 2017

DEAR BEMENT COMMUNITY,

Remarkable. This is the word that resurfaces time and again as I ponder a way to best describe this school and its community. As I have gotten to know students, faculty, staff, alumni, parents, grandparents, and friends of Bement during my first year, I have heard many thoughts and stories. All have a similar theme: that exceptional experiences at Bement help shape lives. It must be this reason that keeps our community so loyal, so supportive.

It must be these teachers and those before them who have made such impressions to warrant giving back to Bement. I have watched parents and grandparents volunteer to organize community building events for the Parents Association, or to help recognize teachers and staff at the annual appreciation luncheon in June. I have watched as our students have collected food and supplies for local families in need, or for refugees first arriving in our country. As we teach the value of philanthropy to our students, our community comes full circle to give back to this school. On behalf of all of us here at Bement, we are grateful for the generosity of so many of you who demonstrate your support in so many ways. Thank you for making this a remarkable year at Bement.

With sincere appreciation,

CHRISTOPHER H. WILSON P’26 HEAD OF SCHOOL
