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.

In honor of Matt and Ben Plager

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.

In honor of Joey & Jacob Brook

Bement is a magical place!

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.

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

In honor of Mary Hawks

Because at Bement I learned how to follow my curiosity, research, write, express myself -- and to dream big.

Fond memories of our 13 years in the community

Just Everything

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.

In honor of Sara Ardrey

Thank you Bement for the ethos of excellence, compassion, community, and love that you provide for students! Keep up the good work.
