OFFICE OF THE HEADMASTER

Dear Friends, Once again, we launched the school year with a theme—a touchstone we will return to again and again to guide not just our student experience, but the work of our entire school community.

This year’s theme is Bulldogs Make It Better—a statement of fact, aspiration, and commitment. As students, teachers, parents, teammates, colleagues, and friends, we all have opportunities to improve ourselves, our relationships, and our world. Together we strive to do our best, to help others achieve their goals, and to be the rising tide that lifts all boats, because no accomplishment, whether great or small, is ever really achieved alone.

You’ll see Bulldogs making it better on every page of this combined issue of The VIEW Magazine and Burr and Burton Annual Report. From the collective and individual efforts of BBA students and 25 years of the Target Program to the public spirit of alumni and the generosity of hundreds of donors, this community shows its commitment to improving lives and building futures, year in and year out.

I hope you share my enjoyment, pride, and gratitude for all those who make our community, our world, and our future better every day.

Onward and forward!

Sincerely,

Mark H. Tashjian Headmaster

NEWS FROM CAMPUS

That we can each show compassion, care, and kindness for one another on every level to "make it better" for someone.

– Sarah DeLong Graf, Learning Specialist

BULLDOGS MAKE IT

BETTER S E L F. C O M M U N I T Y. W O R L D.

– Lillian Harris ’24, Student Mentor I love that Bulldogs Make It Better requires reflection and action. It leaves room for small gestures of kindness that might impact an individual person as well as a series of actions designed to make a needed change in the wider community. It asks all of us to pause and reflect on how we are contributing to the community in ways to make it better.

Bulldogs Make It Better immediately makes me think of Kaizen, the Japanese concept of continuous improvement.

As Bulldogs (and as humans in general), we should always be thinking of improvement and evolution in everything that we do.

– Meg Kenny, Associate Head of School

– Terrell Williams, Dean of Students

FACULTY, STAFF AND STUDENTS SHARE THEIR THOUGHTS ON WHAT THIS YEAR’S THEME MEANS TO THEM. Bulldogs Make It Better is intended to be a habit of mind. It is a life lesson. If students can adopt this mindset, they will be better students, and they will make those around them better.

They will be better teammates.

They will grow up to be better employees, they will be better leaders. and the same goes for all of us as adults: if we think we are a good school, we need to be even better.

To me, Bulldogs Make it Better means that BBA students don’t just exist passively in any space. Meaning, they don’t just come to a class, a practice, an advisory, but instead they do more than just the bare minimum of showing up, and in some way–however small–they improve the space or people around them. This could look like cleaning up trash left in the cafeteria, participating in class, doing an extra rep during practice, or anything that results in improving the world around them.

To me Bulldogs Make It Better means that we should strive to make anything in anyone's life better every day. The beauty of the slogan is that it doesn't have to be something big. Even the small things that you do every day, like holding a door open, make someone's life a little bit better. The loose interpretation of the slogan allows us to mold it to how we want, so we can make ourselves, our peers, and the community better in our own way.

When I first read the new theme it reminded me of the saying, “better every day.” I think this can apply to just about anything that happens at BBA. Whether it’s sports or academics make sure you walk away from each day better than you went into it. Learn something new each day, get faster, meet new people, just get better at something every day. Over the course of this year it will certainly add up.

– Michael Hornby ’24, Student Mentor

When I think about Bulldogs Make It Better, I think about our community.

The relationships between adults and students are incredible, inspiring, and are a difference maker. No matter the role of the adult here on campus, there is a personal touch to the education delivered here and the whole student is served in an impactful way.

– Billy Canfield, Associate Director of the Student Success Program, Student Life Leader

Bulldogs Make it Better means that everyone leaves the BBA campus better than they found it. They can do this by breaking barriers, cleaning up, and showing compassion.

– Will Ameden ’24, Student Mentor

This phrase means that individuals are consistently seeking to improve themselves and those around them.

They want to push themselves to be their best self and help their community to do the same. This starts at the individual level and extends to the world! I apply this message by always working my hardest in my classes, on the soccer field, and leading the farmers market club.

Basecamp to the World: The Ecuador and German Exchanges In Ecuador

BY CHRIS NOLAN

Burr and Burton Welcomes New Dean of Students and New Director of Finance BURR AND BURTON ACADEMY IS PLEASED TO WELCOME TERRELL WILLIAMS ’97 (LEFT) AS THE NEW DEAN OF STUDENTS AND JEFFREY SPENCER (RIGHT) AS THE NEW DIRECTOR OF FINANCE AND OPERATIONS.

Williams joins Burr and Burton from Imhotep Institute Charter High School in Philadelphia, PA where he was the director of community relations and social services. As a professional with a masters in social work and more than 20 years of experience both in and out of education, and a graduate of Burr and Burton and the University of Vermont, Williams brings both a wealth of experience working with students and families, and a deep connection to Vermont to his work at BBA. Associate Head of School Meg Kenny said, “We are thrilled to have Terrell returning to Burr and Burton as our new dean of students. He brings a unique set of lived experiences coupled with a demonstrated capability to nurture the best in each person around him.”

THE VIEW I FALL 2023

Williams first came to Vermont as a student participating in Project Link, a program that connected students from Newark, NJ with Burr and Burton.

He is happy to return to Vermont with his family: “I’m grateful for the opportunity as a person of color, of this community and in a position to give back to this community ... I always wanted to be that person that was a support for any student.”

brings more than 20 years of experience in business administration and finance to his role at Burr and Burton.

Spencer, who was most recently the director of finance and operations at Manchester’s Maple Street School, made the shift from private industry to educational finance when his family relocated from Washington state to Vermont in 2020. In Washington, Spencer was vice president of an industrial electrical and mechanical manufacturing company. Spencer

Spencer is excited to continue his work in education: “I like being around the kids and their energy, and I enjoy being part of something that is connected to the community.

[Working in education] you feel like your work is supporting all the kids in the community and everybody that works here.”

This summer, 17 BBA students accompanied faculty members Chris Nolan, Pia Nolan, and Katie Bove for an incredible adventure in Ecuador. The experience included two weeks living with local families in Cuenca, a colonial city high in the Andes Mountains, as well as spending time on the pacific coast and in the Amazon jungle where they visited an indigenous tribe.

On hold for four years due to Covid, the exchange between Burr and Burton Academy and Unidad Educativa Santana, BBA's sister school in Cuenca, Ecuador, is once again in full swing.

Last September, 14 students from Santana immersed themselves into the culture of Vermont for three weeks and the trip this summer completed the biannual exchange.

The partnership between BBA and Santana began in 2012 and has expanded to offer students from both schools the opportunity to spend a full semester studying abroad.

In Germany In June, Burr and Burton students traveled to Stuttgart, Germany to visit sister school Wirtemberg Gymnasium.

Over the course of nearly three weeks, students stayed with German families, attended classes, and toured Stuttgart and surrounding areas.

In Stuttgart, students made delicious Laugenbrezeln pretzels with the owner of a local bakery. In Munich they toured town by bicycle. The group also visited the medieval Marksburg castle in Braubach and the Dachau concentration camp.

The highlight? Though each aspect is very special, BBA German teacher Barb Miceli said, “When the students were asked at the end of the trip what their highlight was, the majority talked about the time spent with their host family and the connections that they made. That is truly the most important part of the exchange.”

The exchange between Burr and Burton and Wirtemberg Gymnasium has been going strong since 1981, according to Miceli. In the fall of 2022, 25 German students and three teachers traveled to Burr and Burton, staying with local families, attending classes, enjoying local activities like apple picking, and visiting sights locally and in Boston.

"I am delighted to welcome Jeff to Burr and Burton," said Mark Tashjian. "His deep operational background and experience in educational finance will serve not just our Business Office, but the entire school community.

Sarah and Henry: Building Relationships that Support Learning and Wellbeing ON MONDAYS, WEDNESDAYS, AND FRIDAYS, IF YOU CLIMB THE SEMINARY STAIRS TO THE SECOND FLOOR AND MAKE A LEFT INTO BBA LEARNING SPECIALIST SARAH DELONG GRAF’S CLASSROOM, YOU WILL OFTEN FIND A SPECIAL FRIEND, ONE WITH SOFT BROWN FUR AND BIG BROWN EYES, WORKING THERE WITH DELONG GRAF AND HER STUDENTS.

This special friend is a dog named Henry, and he and DeLong Graf work as a certified therapy team. Together, they support students with socialemotional health while they work with DeLong Graf on individualized academic skills. Recently, encouraged by the arrangement’s positive impact on students, DeLong Graf has begun to train a second pup named Seb (short for Sebastian) and hopes that he will one day become a therapy dog as well.

For DeLong Graf, this kind of support has always been critical to her work: “The social-emotional component of the classroom has always been at the core of my educational philosophy ... I have strived to find ways to help students become available for learning when they arrive at my classroom.”

DeLong Graf has spent her career working on innovative models that would better support students' diverse learning styles. Coming to work at BBA in 2006, she and her colleagues were quick to implement team teaching (a model where a learning specialist co-teaches a class with a subject teacher) at Burr and Burton.

In 2016, inspired by research demonstrating the profound effects 8

THE VIEW I FALL 2023

on wellbeing that an animal can have, DeLong Graf requested support to integrate a therapy dog into her work in the Learning Center.

It was a long road, but BBA’s support and DeLong Graf ’s tenacity enabled her to sort through the various programs and certifications to find one that made sense for a school setting. She also acquired Henry, a miniature goldendoodle and poodle cross, who became both a beloved family pet and a hard-working therapy dog trainee.

How rigorous was the training? DeLong Graf describes the process: “[First] It’s basic obedience training that we did; some things he can do really well, and other things he’s still working on, because, first and foremost, he’s a dog. Then, we had a very specific test with tasks that we had to pass for the Alliance of Therapy Dogs.” DeLong Graf describes a range of simple, but important tests that she and Henry went through as a pair to ensure his consistency and their connection as a team.

Henry connects with students through a range of experiences: It might mean spending some time with a nervous test-taker, taking a short walk with

DeLong Graf and a student who is having a tough day, or being cared for by a student who is learning new skills.

DeLong Graf has noticed an immediate shift in her students when working with Henry, even doing something as simple as holding his leashes: “It gives them the power that puts them back into a position where they feel like they are in control ... subconsciously, their body will recognize that.”

In Health Services, Mental Health Clinician Sarah Scranton is in the process of training a pup named Winnie to support her students Scranton has been researching animalassisted therapy since graduate school, and she's excited for Winnie to start making connections at BBA. As Henry enters his senior years, DeLong Graf is mindful to watch for signs that he might need to retire. She says it’s important for handlers of teams to be tuned into their animals' signs for needed breaks, feelings of stress, and end of volunteering. She is grateful that now other teams are present at Burr and Burton, a hope of hers from the start, as this only spreads the joy to more students and adults alike.

When students are asked to reflect on their experiences with Henry, it’s clear that he makes a big impact. One student put it this way: “Just seeing Henry in class everyday has a calming effect on me. The fact that I could come in and see him all happy brightens my day; it makes me look forward to having class with Mrs. Delong Graf. I also know that if needed, I could ask to sit with him.

I'm loving the fact that Henry comes to school.”

Along the way, other programs at Burr and Burton have also begun to integrate therapy dogs as well. In Athletics, Assistant Athletic Director Julie Crosier has Libby, a bubbly English Cream Retriever that it’s impossible not to smile at. Crosier said, “Libby has been amazing with student-athletes and adults.”

Finally, after several trips to the championship game where the Bulldogs fought hard and came home disappointed, including one last year, Varsity Girls Lacrosse played their hearts out at the championship game vs. rival Champlain Valley Union High School (CVU), winning the State Championship by one goal in overtime. Class of 2023 Salutatorian Paige Samuelson scored the winning goal the day after commencement.

Statewide, Boys and Girls Track had impressive Division II results: Boys Track winning the Division II title, and Girls Track were the runners up. Mattheo Gallazzini, an International Program student from France, won every event he was entered in, and there were multiple Burr and Burton school records broken by some of last season’s remarkable athletes.

ARTS ROUNDUP Dance and Theater This spring Theater Director Jim Raposa marveled at the way student members of The Rep, BBA’s student run production company, developed their own original pieces into creative, humorous, and suspenseful works. This commitment and dedication was on full display during May’s One Act Festival.

Music In the spring, Music Teacher Julie Freebern and musician Laura Molinelli teamed up on a Songwriting and Music Production course that took students to the Old Mill Road Recording Studio in Arlington.

In May the campus Springfest was enlivened by an incredible vocal and instrumental ensemble performance in the Founders Hall Courtyard.

As classes get back into session this fall, Raposa and Dance Teacher Emily Owens are looking forward to a full and exciting season. Rehearsals are already underway for the fall production of A Few Good Men, and Raposa and other Performing Arts teachers are holding an audition workshop for those interested in trying out for the spring musical, Mamma Mia!

A warm welcome to Nick Exler, who has joined Julie Freebern in Music as the Instrumental and Electronic Music teacher.

Exler’s pursuits as a musician and his career in music education took him from his home state of Vermont to New York, Michigan, Japan, and full-circle back to Vermont. Most recently, he was the middle and high school band and chorus director at Randolph Union High School, where he also taught guitar and digital music classes and formed a student-faculty rock band. Nick has a Bachelor of Music degree in Music Education, Saxophone Performance, and Music Theory from the Eastman School of Music in Rochester, NY.

This fall, Freebern is very excited to work with opera singer Anya Matanovic, spouse of new Cinema teacher John Roche, to provide private lessons and workshops for our vocal ensemble members.

Later in the semester Music will be collaborating with the Vermont Symphony Orchestra Brass Quintet and professional choir Counterpoint that will culminate in a concert with the Vocal Music Ensemble at the First Congregational Church in Manchester on Sunday, December 17, at 4:00pm.

SNAPSHOTS It is the fall of 1993. Bill Clinton is the young new president. Earlier in the year, the World Trade Center was bombed in New York, and the Chicago Bulls, led by Michael Jordan, won the “three-peat” national basketball championship. Jurassic Park was the summer box office smash hit.

loser to home, the Manchester Designer Outlets and the Northshire Bookstore are taking off, and driving around, you might pass an old Volvo 240 on the road.

Meanwhile, padding around the halls of the Seminary Building is Burr and Burton’s own young new leader. At 45, Chuck Scranton had already been a head of school in New Jersey for 13 years and was settling into his new role at BBS. Like many high schools in the 1990s, Burr and Burton was very focused on college preparedness. Scranton quickly saw the downside to this focus: Noncollege bound students were becoming increasingly disconnected from their education.

He recalls, “What really prompted Target in particular was the dropout rate. It was low compared to other schools in Vermont, but it was around three percent. We had 400 kids at the time, that’s 12 kids.” Twelve students each year who were choosing to leave school rather than to graduate. Twelve students for whom the school setting— for whatever reason—was not working.

Scranton knew that Burr and Burton had to do something to change this. His memory of the moment is clear, “That was 12 kids too many.”

It is the spring of 1960. John F. Kennedy is running against Richard Nixon for president, Harper Lee publishes To Kill a Mockingbird, and the US announces that 3,500 soldiers will be sent to Vietnam.

At Burr and Burton there are 220 students and two buildings: the Seminary Building and the gym. Trustee Mike Powers, graduate of the Class of 1960 and parent and grandparent of multiple BBA alumni, recalls a vastly different space: “The interior staircase was wooden. They would ring a bell and the classes would exchange and the whole building shook as people ran up and down the stairs.”

“It had tin ceilings all over. And as you walked in the front door, on the right side was Study Hall. The whole right side when you walked in the front hall was a single room—with a raised platform where the Headmaster sat.”

Powers and his peers were graduating and heading off in different directions.

Among them was Powers' dear friend James “Jim” Dooley, who was bound for Boston College and was determined to become a pilot.

Powers recalls Dooley vividly, “He was short, red-haired, freckled, and tougher than nails, handsome, smart, and an athlete. I mean, he was just an all-around good person.”

It is the year 2000, and Will Mosheim is not having a great 9th grade year at Burr and Burton. At 14, he is deeply focused on playing music, and learning the curriculum in his classes is not going very well.

“My freshman year I really struggled a lot ... I found pretty quickly that I didn’t learn in a classroom. I couldn't sit still, I couldn’t stay awake, I couldn't stay interested. And I love learning—I love digging deep into topics and really exploring them. But sometimes I Iearn best by teaching myself how to do things—being really hands on. A traditional classroom setting does not work like that.”

Alongside this acutely analytical and hands-on learning style, Mosheim was also struggling with his mental health. He reflects, “It was challenging for teachers to deal with the inconsistency that came from that.”

He recalls one teacher, out of care and frustration saying, “You are the most inconsistent student I’ve ever had.”

Scranton and his team were also making strides developing a program that would support students who were not thriving in the traditional school setting.

TRAGEDY AND COMMUNITY

J

im Dooley graduated from Boston College in 1964 and joined the Navy. There, Dooley lived his dream to become a pilot. But the country was sliding deeper and deeper into the Vietnam War, and Navy pilots were called to join the offensive.

Powers remembers the last time he saw his friend: “Jim came by on his way to the Navy and flying planes. I was working at my family business at the time for the summer ... and 50 years later,” he says with a chuckle, noting how that summer job became his career at W.H. Shaw Insurance.

“He came to see me, thank God he came to see me, and we left the office which was over on Main Street in

Manchester. I don’t recall his car or my car, but we just talked about our lives and what was happening. And he left and I never saw him again.”

Dooley quickly became the pilot of a Douglas A4 Skyhawk, at the time a state-of-the-art nimble aircraft.

According to military records, Dooley was assigned a mission on October 22, 1967 over the north Vietnam city of Haiphong where he was hit by antiaircraft fire. His plane went down near the mouth of the Haiphong River. He was 24 years old.

Details around what happened after Dooley’s plane was shot down are murky. The Navy first classified him as Missing in Action, but changed the designation to Killed in Action in 1973.

“We were casting around for a long time after his death.” Powers reflects, weighing the impact of uncertainty, “but Peter [Henry ’60] and I were determined to find the right way to memorialize him.”

He recollects, “We did a lot of research.

We considered whether it should be on campus or off campus. We visited other alternative programs. It was really designed for those kids who found it difficult to succeed in a traditional education environment.”

Jim Dooley’s death was the kind of tragedy that you never forget—one that you feel in your chest for a lifetime.

Years later, his Burr and Burton friends would find a cause worthy of his name. .....

Scranton was also getting out into the community, and the idea of creating a space for more individualized, handson, work-based learning was gaining a lot of interest and support.

By the mid 1990s Chuck Scranton was leading Burr and Burton through changes that would make a tremendous impact on the school. Plans were underway for a new academic building that would become the Smith Center for Science and Communications.

Alumna and longtime Burr and Burton employee Kathi Bierwirth ’81, then the Athletic Director and now the Target Program Director, recalls, “I’ve lived in Manchester all my life ... everyone knew a family at Burr and Burton, and we all kind of knew one another, and I think that's how it came together. We recognized that we didn’t have a tech

center or opportunities for kids to get into the trades, and there were kids who were falling through the cracks.”

Among those who wanted to help was Jesse Ameden, a graduate of the class of 1949, and father and grandfather of several Burr and Burton alumni.

A deeply respected local carpenter, Ameden rallied the entire local building community around the renovation of a barn that the school purchased on Richville Road—a building that would provide space for this new, innovative program.

Together, along with numerous financial supporters and individuals who donated countless weekend and evening hours, Ameden and the local building community completed a spectacular renovation of the barn, later named Campbell House in honor of two Campbell families: Dorothy and James Campbell (parents of current Trustee Ed Campbell) for their lifetime of devotion to Burr and Burton and Orland (a Trustee at the time) and Hoa Campbell (parents of two BBA alumni) who provided critical support for the project.

Though the Target Program had begun a couple of years earlier in rented spaces, it found a permanent home, one that boasted a large library work room, a kitchen, a workout room, and outdoor spaces in the thoughtfully renovated barn on Richville Road.

In many ways, and for many participants, it was the project of a lifetime–and a project that would go on to change many lives.

wenty-three years later, with lively eyes and an easy smile, Will Mosheim ’03 remembers the glimmer of hope that made a difference for him: “Freshman year was a struggle; I barely made it through. I almost got kicked out a couple times. But I didn’t give up, because I learned about the Target Program.”

“ONE SIZE DOES NOT FIT ALL”

When Mosheim and his family learned that there was a program that would enable him to experience his education in a more individualized way, they were all in.

nspired by the impact of this innovative program, Mike Powers and classmate Peter Henry, son of storied Burr and Burton Headmaster E.H. Henry, began the work to commemorate their friend with an endowed fund in Dooley’s name.

It took a lot of work and collaboration with then Director of Advancement Dick Malley, but with Malley’s help Powers and Henry were able to raise enough money—through classmates and community members—to create an endowed fund to support the Target Program in Jim Dooley’s name.

Powers reflects, “He was only in his mid-20s. Here I am, I’m 81, and here’s to 81. We made it. And we’ve had our challenges, but we didn’t have a challenge like Jim had. He deserves everything that this memorial means, because it’s helping people. It couldn’t be better. It made me so proud to be part of it.”

“It was Jim; that’s why it worked.”

“Some people used it as a way to learn skills that would help them enter the workforce right out of high school. I looked at it as a way to focus on the things I know I could be successful at in my life—and that was art and music.”

Once enrolled in Target, things did begin to turn around for him.

Working closely with founding director Jeff Houghton, founding faculty member and class of 1991 alumnus Ed Panzarino, and later faculty Blair Brownlee as a new teacher at BBA, Mosheim slowly began to feel that he could be successful.

He reflects, “It’s a pretty incredible place. It gave me a lot of freedom and flexibility to be who I was at the time, and explore what I loved—but it also held me extremely accountable, which was a big support for me then, because I was really struggling.”

Brownlee, who has now been a teacher in the Target Program for 22 years, is familiar with this kind of change in her students, “Some kids have never been successful [in school]; they come to Target, and because of individualized 20

THE VIEW I FALL 2023

instruction, we can try things different ways–sometimes many different ways—and then when they understand it, it’s like a lightbulb goes off ... they’re like, ‘I’ve never done well with this before.’”

Panzarino picks up the thread: “It’s confidence, and I think finding something they're good at, and then building confidence that gravitates out from that.”

Scranton shares a component of the educational philosophy that shaped so much of Burr and Burton during his tenure: “I believe that every kid has to find a peg upon which to hang their self esteem when they’re in school. For some kids it’s the soccer field, for some kids it’s the stage, for some it’s music; but the more of those pegs we put out there, the more likely it is that every kid is going to find that spot.”

For Mosheim, and for hundreds of others over the past 25 years, that spot was Target: “One size does not fit all.

The way most education is designed does not work for everyone. It works extremely well for some people—but it really doesn’t work for others.

Especially folks like me who really struggled with mental health issues in high school. It leaves them behind; it leaves them in the dust. And it beats you down in a way where you feel like you are a failure. And that’s not a good place to be at that age.”

“Target proved to me that I was not the sum of my challenges; I was more than that. Just because I couldn’t function consistently all the time it didn’t mean that I was a failure; it didn’t mean that things weren’t going to turn around and find a path that fit for me—and that was a really amazing piece of it—to find that.”

ill Mosheim is busy getting ready for the Green Mountain Bluegrass and Roots Festival where he is playing as one half of the duo Carling & Will alongside banjo player Carling Berkhout. The lineup includes bluegrass icons like Sam Bush, Peter Rowan, and Tim O’Brien and new favorites like Watchhouse, Foghorn Stringband, and Caitlin Canty.

A notable local and regional musician, Mosheim is excited about the festival for another reason: Many of the musicians present will be playing banjos that he made. As a full-time luthier— maker of string instruments—Mosheim has earned a national reputation for craftsmanship that has left him with a multi-year waiting list.

Naturally self-reflective, Mosheim is fulfilled by the life he has built: “I don’t feel like I ever have to sacrifice my own integrity or my own happiness to do the work that I do. I truly feel that I have control over my life in a really beautiful way—as an individual, as an artist— and I’m so infinitely grateful that I can support myself and make a living doing what I love.”

Over at H.N. Williams in Dorset, where Brownlee also spends time helping with the family business, the Target Program teachers and Director Kathi Bierwirth catch up over coffee.

ill Mosheim is busy getting ready for the Green Mountain Bluegrass and Roots Festival where he is playing as one half of the duo Carling & Will alongside banjo player Carling Berkhout. The lineup includes bluegrass icons like Sam Bush, Peter Rowan, and Tim O’Brien and new favorites like Watchhouse, Foghorn Stringband, and Caitlin Canty.

A notable local and regional musician, Mosheim is excited about the festival for another reason: Many of the musicians present will be playing banjos that he made. As a full-time luthier— maker of string instruments—Mosheim has earned a national reputation for craftsmanship that has left him with a multi-year waiting list.

Naturally self-reflective, Mosheim is fulfilled by the life he has built: “I don’t feel like I ever have to sacrifice my own integrity or my own happiness to do the work that I do. I truly feel that I have control over my life in a really beautiful way—as an individual, as an artist— and I’m so infinitely grateful that I can support myself and make a living doing what I love.”

historic journey on the heels of a national women’s rights movement.

The Seneca Falls Convention took place to the West of Burr Seminary in July 1848, just a handful of months before the Burr Seminary “fortyniners” took these historic steps nearly 175 years ago.

“I’m really proud to have continued that tradition by being the first woman elected as Attorney General,” Charity said.

This summer, we met up with Charity over Zoom in the weeks following the July floods in Montpelier to reflect on her work as Attorney General, the causes she champions, and where her drive for justice and leadership was born.

Charity began her legal career in 2005 as an associate at Downs Rachlin Martin in Burlington and later at Orrick in New York City. In 2014, she began working as an Assistant Attorney General in the Public Protection Division under former Attorney General Bill Sorrell and then served as Chief of Staff under Attorney General T.J. Donovan beginning in 2018. After graduating from Burr and Burton, Charity earned her undergraduate degree from the University of Vermont and her law degree from Boston College Law School. Before entering law school, Charity was a policy analyst at the Vermont Governor’s Office. She has served on the Burr and Burton Board of Trustees since 2021.

As a student at Burr and Burton, Charity enjoyed many leadership roles, including as her class president for two years and as a representative of Burr and Burton’s Girls State contingent, visiting Montpelier. (American Legion Auxiliary Green Mountain Girls State is a leadership development program for rising high school seniors.)

“I had never been to Montpelier before, and I don’t know exactly how I was chosen, but I am so grateful that I was because it really made a huge impression on me,” she said. “I went (for Girls State) the summer I turned 17, and four years later, I was an intern in the Governor’s office. It really wasn’t that much time, and by the time I was an intern, I knew so many things. I knew you couldn’t step on the House floor when they are in session, I knew where the bathrooms were. I just felt comfortable. I literally felt like this State House belongs to me too.”

As a Girls State member and president of her class, a career in politics may have seemed like the obvious end point for her. But, Charity categorizes other, less obvious experiences at Burr and Burton as pivotal moments in her leadership development, like a class trip to Spain, which helped her and her classmates feel independent and capable in unfamiliar surroundings. Or, helping to lead her soccer team.

“Everybody had different strengths and weaknesses (on the soccer team),” she said. “As a leader, you’re trying to maximize everyone’s gifts and encourage them to improve so that you can get the best results for your team. That’s just like work, just like running an office.”

“I had a lot of opportunities to lead, and I had so many wonderful teachers,” Charity said. “You can see this same ethos now at Burr and Burton—the community and the teachers and staff want you to succeed.

They believe in you. They are interested in you. They support you. So, of course, with that kind of nurturing environment, a leadership potential would be nurtured and grow.”

Charity’s experience with leadership and seeking value in disparate perspectives is something deeply steeped in the DNA of Burr and Burton. Its Culture of Care is the deliberate creation of belonging through exposure to the experiences of others something that Charity and alumni like her inherently understand through their work with peers and teammates.

Growing up in the small towns of the Northshire, community here is more than just a buzzword. It is quite literally a lifeline and ethos. People look out for each other and pay attention to the needs of their neighbors in ways that can somehow feel like both a holdover from the past and a modern take on building healthy communities.

For Charity, sowing the seeds of community was second nature as a 10thgeneration Vermonter. “I was just oriented

to care for my community because that’s what I was shown,” she said. “It was a small town, and if something needed to be done, and people needed to step up and help, we saw that.”

Charity worked at “Clark’s,” her family’s grocery store, every Saturday, which gave her intimate access to the workings of her community.

“Londonderry is a small town, and the store is a big part of that town,” she said. “Working in the store made a big impression on me. You really got to see what people needed every day. Some days, people might not have a great day, and we were there for that. Or for the widower who would come in first thing in the morning every day to shop.”

That feeling of connectedness and care was a powerful force for Charity when deciding on her career path, and more to the point, on deciding to come back home to Vermont. “I’m sure some of my interest in politics comes from Vermont’s history of having a close proximity between government and the people,” she said. She remembers going to the Manchester Elementary School gym with her parents for Town Meeting, observing the mechanics of Vermont local government unfold while she did her homework, ate

Breastfeeding Week (August 1-7).

Charity reflects on the history-making day of her election when Vermont voters also overwhelmingly decided to enshrine the right to abortion in the state’s Constitution. “Did you know that every single town voted to approve?” she asked. “Not one town voted against the Reproductive Liberty Amendment (Prop 5). Not one. Even the most conservative towns.”

Charity remembers meeting Vermont Governor Madeleine Kunin when she was about nine years old. “She came to Manchester for Green Up Day,” she said. “I didn’t know until then that we had a woman governor and that it was unique.” Later, when Charity was in college and interning in Senator Leahy’s office, she ran into Kunin again at the 75th Anniversary of Women’s Suffrage.

Charity bought Kunin’s autobiography and had her sign it at the event. The book is a treasured possession, proudly displayed on the bookshelf behind her during our Zoom call. Charity has never forgotten the impact those interactions with Kunin had on her career trajectory, simply showing her in fundamental ways what was possible.

Charity’s decision to run for Attorney General unfolded swiftly. Ten days after making the decision to run, she kicked off her campaign, and nine days after that, she submitted the 500 signatures necessary to get her name on the ballot.

She is quick to thank her friends and colleagues for jumping in to help and gives her stepmother special credit. “My stepmother said, ‘I have great news. I got 40 signatures outside of Walmart.

The bad news is, I don’t think I can go to Walmart again,’” Charity laughed.

“They kicked her out! She also went to a festival where they had free Ben & Jerry’s, and she stood in the (ice cream) line and asked everyone to sign the petition.”

Charity said she immediately felt the weight of her historic win. “I took that (election win) incredibly seriously, and I try to identify opportunities for

leadership in a space where a woman hadn’t previously been,” Charity said.

“They say that women need to be asked multiple times to run for office, and also that women feel they need to have every possible qualification experience—I’m no exception,” she said.

In her work as Attorney General, Charity has a front-row seat to the drafting of history. That idea of close proximity to government that Charity first felt at Manchester Town Meeting when she was young is why she is so comfortable protecting and advocating for Vermont’s citizens.

“I’ve always loved Vermont so much.

Do you know when you’re reading a book, and the setting is almost like a character? Vermont is a character in my story, and I’ve always felt a deep responsibility towards caring for it,” she said. “The Attorney General’s post is the perfect place to affect that care and responsibility.”

Loving the state and its people means that you hurt when the community hurts, a notion brought into stark relief this July when quickly rising water damaged many areas of the state, including Montpelier and the Pavillion (building that houses the AG office).

Charity was working outside of the office on Monday, July 10 when the news reports and photos came pouring in of the devastation happening

downtown. “I love Montpelier so much—I worked there both before and after law school in the Pavillion building, and it’s just the best place,” she said. “I felt very helpless and upset when it first happened, but I quickly realized that the Attorney General’s office has a lane. We are so lucky to have lawyers embedded all over the state government who serve the Agency of Transportation for example, so we can support their work in fixing the roads.”

In the days following the flood, Charity, like so many members of our local communities, pulled on her boots, bought some supplies and got to work doing the doing. She volunteered to help clean up the local toy store, alongside her neighbors. At the end of the day, she made sure that the owner was put in touch with the state’s small business advocate to ensure that they had the help they’d need to re-open.

In her work over the past eight months as Attorney General, Charity has prioritized women and families of Vermont, addressing domestic violence, reproductive rights, and making workplaces accessible and friendly for new mothers, including the creation of designated lactation rooms.

At the time of our conversation, the Attorney General’s office received the designation of breastfeeding-friendly employer, just in time for World

Recently, the Vermont Attorney General’s office has filed a suit against Monsanto for the manufacture and distribution of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) on behalf of Vermont’s environment and schools, the first state in the nation to file such a lawsuit.

Vermont’s statewide school testing program is also the first in the country.

In a July 7 commentary in Vermont Digger, Charity said, “Vermont taxpayers should not have to bear the full cost of cleaning up someone else’s mess.”

Throughout our conversation, we kept coming back to the idea that being the first woman carries the weight and responsibility of new representation.

The value of compassion and the Culture of Care that Charity brings to her leadership is a differentiating factor so far for her tenure as Attorney General.

This conversation has focused in large part on the tactics and strategy of serving as the chief law enforcement officer in the state, and, how just wellqualified she is to get the job done.

Charity reflects back on the day that she delivered the requisite 500 signatures to become the first woman candidate for Vermont Attorney General ever on the Democratic ballot. The song she was blasting at full volume in the car was Brandi Carlile’s The Joke.

“At that moment, to me, I had already won. The minute I got on the ballot, I had already won.”

The Joke: You get discouraged, don't you, girl?

It's your brother's world for a while longer Call it living the dream, call it kicking the ladder They come to kick dirt in your face To call you weak and then displace you After carrying your baby on your back across the desert I have been to the movies, I've seen how it ends And the joke's on them

illy Canfield has been working in schools since he was 23 years old—and yet, especially at first, it wasn’t the “school” that brought him in–it was the kids.

It’s the second day of Burr and Burton’s 2023-24 student orientation, and despite a hectic day, Canfield is a few minutes early for our conversation, walking in with a big smile and an improbable bounce in his step.

This energy–and the ability to make everyone in his orbit feel cared for and respected—is what Canfield is most known for on campus. It permeates his work as Associate Director of the Student Success Program and as a Student Life Leader—and on any given day, faculty and staff might receive a hand-penned note from Canfield acknowledging appreciation for some aspect of their work.

Relaxed, in a pin-striped button-down, Canfield describes an adolescent self that didn’t love the academic part of school—rather he excelled and engaged most deeply in athletics. As his senior

year of high school approached, Canfield was pretty sure he was not headed directly to college.

“My parents gave me enough structure and support to say, you don't have to go to college, but you have to have a plan.

My father’s a Navy veteran. I decided, I’m going to make this easy, so at the beginning of my senior year, I did an early entry program to the Navy, and that was my plan.”

In August 2001, just weeks after graduating high school, Canfield started boot camp. On September 11th, trainees were suddenly and without explanation eating three meals a day indoors, and their outdoor time was restricted. Rumors quietly swirled, but it wasn’t until a few days later that he and his peers found out about the attack on the World Trade Center. Canfield recalls, “Then it really clicked: I enlisted and it wasn’t a time of war, and now it’s a time of war, and my responsibilities just got so much more real.”

year of high school approached, Canfield was pretty sure he was not headed directly to college.

“My parents gave me enough structure and support to say, you don't have to go to college, but you have to have a plan.

My father’s a Navy veteran. I decided, I’m going to make this easy, so at the beginning of my senior year, I did an early entry program to the Navy, and that was my plan.”

In August 2001, just weeks after graduating high school, Canfield started boot camp. On September 11th, trainees were suddenly and without explanation eating three meals a day indoors, and their outdoor time was restricted. Rumors quietly swirled, but it wasn’t until a few days later that he and his peers found out about the attack on the World Trade Center. Canfield recalls, “Then it really clicked: I enlisted and it wasn’t a time of war, and now it’s a time of war, and my responsibilities just got so much more real.”

Canfield spent the next four years in the Navy, working in Norfolk, Virginia on and off the USS George

BURR AND BURTON ACADEMY 31

Washington (CVN-73), a naval aircraft carrier. Though he has a deep value for the structure and skills he learned in the Navy, Canfield ultimately decided it was not the career path for him; of his four years in the Navy, he calculated that he spent the equivalent of a year and a half on land and the rest of the time out at sea.

At 22, the transition to civilian life was challenging; Canfield found himself working entry-level jobs he didn’t really enjoy. But his positive experiences with athletics drew him to coaching youth soccer, and that was something he loved.

In May 2006, Canfield and his family received some devastating news: his mom was diagnosed with cancer. She passed away just a few short months later, in August of 2006, and he vividly remembers one of the last conversations they had: “the last time I got to speak with her—she encouraged me to keep coaching soccer ... she was like, ‘Billy, you’re so good at working with kids; you need to keep coaching and working with kids.’”

He did not forget this advice, and increasingly, he agreed. When Canfield’s dad mentioned that he saw an opening for a one-to-one paraprofessional position at the West Rutland School, Canfield jumped on it.

THE VIEW I FALL 2023

He relates, “I had a lot of emotional feelings about my mom, and I took the job, and it was the best decision I ever made.”

Working in schools motivated Canfield to use the Montgomery Bill benefit he earned through active duty to study social work, eventually earning a bachelor's degree from the College of St. Joseph in Rutland. From there Canfield worked as a case manager for several community organizations, including the Bennington-Rutland Supervisory Union, where he was the Home to Family Liaison, working directly with kids and families at Currier Memorial School, and connecting families all over the district with resources.

When he began his job as Associate Director of the Student Success Program, Canfield had a feeling that he would stay at Burr and Burton for a long time: “This is like home. It feels so good here. The students are a big part of it, but it’s also our colleagues—the people we get to work with—we get to work with the people that work here.”

Q&A Are there experiences that most impact your work with students and your perspectives on leadership?

As an athlete in high school, I was a leader on the teams that I played on. A lot of my leadership ideas came from team sports and the leaders I learned from. I really feel that what we model trickles down to the students and what they model will trickle down to younger kids.

Also, I always imagine myself as a student—I’m always putting myself in their shoes. What was I thinking? ... I try to give kids a safe person to have tough conversations with at school and give them feedback and advice that I think is sound and just. Not like, I’m older and I know better, [rather] I’m older, and this is what I know from my experience. Your experience could be different, but this is what I learned.

What is it like to be a part of the Success Program?

Tell me about your role as a Student Life Leader.

It’s a super beautiful thing. Jason [Pergament, Student Success Program Director] does so much work in our middle schools, and works with middle school guidance counselors to figure out who exactly is a Success Scholar ... We [consider a number of factors, including] who really needs support?

Who needs the extra at school? This year we welcomed 65 students to Success Camp, I believe. By the time they’re seniors, the number of kids we’re taking on a trip is going to be 20 to 30. It's not going to be 65 kids–because Success is in many ways a hand up. The idea is to offer support, an endless amount of support, but not everyone needs the same amount. Some people need different pieces of support that we offer.

We have three other Student Life Leaders: Megan Gault, Tom Klein, and Sarah Perry. Sarah Perry and I do the leadership training for all 30 student mentors (students who mentor 9th graders).

We teach Prep for Success, the 9th grade class, which is basically, how can you be the best possible high school student?

And also, how can you learn and grow as a person and be a valuable member of our community? Tomorrow, on the first day of class, we’re going to ask, what do you want the curriculum to be? Jason has been teaching this class for 10+ years; we have a plethora of resources and different things we can do; they’re going to say something and we’re going to have the resources to do it.

We’re letting them know, no matter what, you have a home with us, and you don’t have to live in the home, you can visit the home and take what you need ... we are endlessly looking for resources to help people.

We’re really fortunate that we get to provide leadership training to them.

Student mentoring is a really important part of how we build culture here.

We are trying to bolster our 10th, 11th, and 12th grade advisories. [Last year] it became clear that the 9th grade advisory is very strong, and we should put more focus on our mixedage advisories ... We’re really trying to support more purposeful connections between advisors and the kids they’re advising.

We’re figuring out how to manage and do things purposefully. One thing I do know is that if this model doesn’t work, we’re going to try a different model– we’re always learning and growing.

We’re not stuck in our ways. We’re not against trying something in a new and different way. We’re trendsetters.

How do you take care of yourself? What do you do to maintain your energy?

I do my best to be mindful of others, and truly spend as much time as I can with my kids ... When I go home, I really try to be present at home–that’s what I do for myself. Because I love my family so much, and for me, I spend as much valuable time with my kids as I can.

You have so much positive energy–is that characterological?

Are you just an optimistic person?

That’s what I try to be. And it goes back to putting myself in the shoes of a teenager. Everyone in life has made mistakes and learned and grown from them.

Meg [Kenny, Associate Head of School] recently asked me why I write the thank you notes ... later I responded to her, and these are the reasons why: One, everybody has value, and people should be recognized for the regular things that they do. Maybe it took a lot to sweep the floor today; maybe it took a lot to write the lesson plan; maybe it took more than we realized to do regular things that we might take for granted.

Also, there are things in life that we can control and can’t control. I can control how much good I put into the world.

I can control how much bad I put into the world too. If I have the ability to put out good, I’m going to put out good.

And finally, my mom. My mom is my motivation—I think of the last conversation I had with her. And I have many regrets about things I should have said, or could have done, or time I could’ve spent with her. People should know that the things that they do matter. It shouldn’t come after the time has expired. You should know now that you're doing good things, and a great job, and that you matter.

My self-care is with my family. My wife is so important to me. She always supports me ... She holds everything together for me and means the world to me.

190TH COMMENCEMENT

Commencement Packs Riley Rink and Honors Resilience and Self-determination

CLASS OF 2023

In Burr and Burton’s 194 years, there has not been a class quite like the class of 2023, whose high school experience was turned upside down by a global pandemic during their 9th grade year–after which each moment became about adapting to a new normal.

Through remote learning, and hybrid learning, and school days with masks, the class of 2023 gained resilience every step of the way. Headmaster Mark Tashjian said, “This class experienced it all. Not only did they thrive throughout, but they take with them maybe the most important life lesson of all: A community that sticks together and works together can accomplish just about anything.”

“Be patient and learn from failure. You’re going to bump your head and bloody your nose sometimes, but don’t let it stop you.”

Salutatorians Andrew Claire, Paige Samuelson, and Harper Stevenson were honored, and valedictorian Emilia de Jounge shared a heartfelt speech about life lessons she learned watching her beloved pet Dawson overcome sudden blindness.

“So what are you going to do? You can be lazy, and let the river of life take you with the current. Or you can take the wheel ... life is a lot more satisfying when you make the decisions–when you create your life. You have power. Use it.”

Longtime retiring faculty member Rob Hunter delivered the commencement address. Metaphorically invoking the movie The Shawshank Redemption, Hunter encouraged students to take control of their own destiny.

Brian said, “Eddie told me that (this event) became the largest gathering of Ormsby Hill alumni he has ever been a part of.

ANNUAL REPORT

2022-23 Leadership

2022-2023

From the Headmaster and the Chair of the Board Dear Burr and Burton Family: After another incredible year—Burr and Burton’s 194th—it is a pleasure to reflect on the generosity and tireless support that make it possible for us to deliver on our mission every day for hundreds of BBA students and their families.

Education is how a community builds its future, and for almost two centuries, our community has envisioned and realized its bright future through Burr and Burton. That foundational partnership has served generations and newcomers in Manchester and surrounding towns, and it has also made Burr and Burton Academy what it is today: an independent school that serves the public.
