My education at Renbrook has built a strong foundation, one I'm standing on now during my time at Suffield whilst preparing to challenge myself with some honors classes sophomore year. Thanks to all my incredible teachers who pushed me to be the best version of myself, you've imbued skills in me that allowed me to rise to the top of my class this year! Much love.

In honor of Florence Greene
In 1972 when I was in fourth grade Florence Green visited our class as part of an oral history project that we recorded. I do hope the recording survived. It was an inspiring story of dedicated families and teachers operating out of rented homes and then the little building on Trout Brook Drive that was still standing in my youth. The story of the parents investment of sweat equity in sanding down and painting, the recycled, old wooden desks with the the blue paint for a time symbolized the school. I’m honoring audacity of Ms. Greene, the generosity of the Rentschler Family and so many others, and most of all, the dedicated faculty who made next to nothing in those days, but believed that educating children to be curious, empathetic members of a community was a noble cause. Their efforts made me who I am today. My gift is in the spirit of Miss Green but it honors the entire community that built and supported the school.

In memory of Payson Corbiere - and in honor of all those who taught my children. I was teaching grade 5 before I had my kids and then I returned to teach grade 2 with Marfie Parsons Lavendier and she was the best! Many others who meant so much to me a a teacher and as a teacher of my children.
