AROUND CAMPUS
campus recap Rectory School’s Centennial Year meant commemorating the past and looking forward to the future while handling the challenges of the present. The COVID-19 pandemic meant that usual on-campus activities needed to be rethought not canceled. We celebrated the people and well-loved traditions that make Rectory so amazing and experienced new activities that we hope will continue long into Rectory’s future.
Kellogg Award The Kellogg Award, established in 1993 by Rectory alumnus Peter Kellogg ’57 in honor of his mother, Mrs. James Crane Kellogg III, recognizes Rectory employees for their dedication and commitment to Rectory School. Each year, two employees are selected to be recipients of this award because of their many years of service and their special help to the school and students. On April 12, 2021, Mr. Williams announced the two 2021 recipients: Lisa Hart and Meghan Fluckiger. Learn about their accomplishments and why they were selected for this prestigious award when you visit www.rectoryschool.org/facawards.
MLK Day: Centennial Acts of Service What started as one day of service expanded to include the full month of January as Rectory School celebrated its 100th year with its Centennial Acts of Service campaign, which coincided with its annual MLK Jr. Day of Service. Guided by Dr. King’s “most persistent” question, the world-wide Rectory community was invited to participate in Rectory’s decade-long tradition of service to others. Students, alumni, families, employees, and friends took the challenge and participated in various acts of community service around the world. Learn more at www.rectoryschool.org/service-project.
Rectory Regatta On May 22, 2021, a dragon boat, several elaborate squareshaped vessels, and even one that included the Rectory Memorial Bell (music included!) returned to the pond for the annual Rectory School Regatta. Roughly a dozen recycled cardboard and duct tape creations launched from the shoreline, with more than half making it all the way across and with some even able to make the return trip.
