Grace Bement Birthday Challenge

In honor of Mary Hawks

Bement is a place where I met lifelong friends, my most meaningful mentors, and sorted out many early adolescent challenges. Whenever I visit, it's like a touchstone emotion. 1974 photo by Tim Young.

One of our favorite parts about Bement is the outdoor Education program. As parents, we love that our children are given the opportunity to get outside to learn and play, rain or shine. Our children are excited to see and explore the new ropes course at Pine Hill. Happy Birthday, Grace Bement!

In honor of Mr. Ted Pina

Our children have had such rich learning experiences at Pine Hill, with friends in Keith House, trick or treating with big kid buddies, on stage performing Grace's Acorns, learning foreign languages, and working as a team in Mr. P.'s awesome P.E. class. The past two years have been such a blast! My biggest wish when the girls were babies was for other people to see them and love them like I do, so that they know they're part of a community & a world that cares for one another. We get that -and more- at Bement. Thank you for keeping Grace Bement's vision to educate the whole child at the forefront of every student interaction.

In honor of The Second Grade Teachers!

Bement’s amazing and loving faculty taught my child how to “Fly on your own wings”! Thank you so much, Bement!

The call for memories of Bement mentioned Ms. Hawks and the library-English classroom. It brought back a memory of Ms. Hawks critiquing the biblical story of the fall from Paradise, the eating of the apple of knowledge -- she felt the search for knowledge was not a fall from Grace. (No pun intended, but take it as you will.) I have many memories of Bement, most of them pleasant, but also of my own naive and thoughtless cruelty to some dear friends, one in particular, who, when I can't sleep at night, I pray will forgive me.

Bement for me was nurturing: it provided great opportunities to learn and challenged me individually. I felt a sense of belonging and acceptance. The teachers were wonderful. I'm glad to see Bement continuing to thrive.
