NCS Reunions

TENTH

REUNION

The North Country School classes of 2010, 2011, and 2012 returned to campus during Friends’ Weekend (August 17-21) to celebrate their 10(ish) year reunions. During their time on campus they went on hikes, swam in Round Lake, reconnected with classmates, and worked with NCS teacher Larry Robjent on a project to remove the outdated bog bridge by the ski hill.

A highlight was opening the time capsules made by each class before they graduated. As alumni gathered in the Heart Space of the WallyPAC and sorted through the objects found inside, they told stories and shared memories.

FIFTY-ISH

REUNION

During Friends’ Weekend in August, more than two dozen classmates from the classes of 1968, 1969, 1970, 1971, and 1972 (and some from adjacent years) joined us to reconnect and share memories of their time at North Country School. The group engaged in activities including a work job clearing brush at Raspberry Knoll and a complete campus tour with Executive Director Todd Ormiston. Many attended a breadmaking session in the Teaching and Learning Kitchen facilitated by Katie (Eldridge) Weaver (NCS 71–78, NCS staff 83–84, 15–present, NCS parent 05–08, CTT staff 82–03, 10–15, CTT parent 03–08). The bread was enjoyed on-the-spot with plenty of butter.

The group held a brief memorial in the dining room to honor the classmates they had lost over the past 50 years.

Thank you to Susie Read (NCS 66-70), Meimei Ma (NCS 68-70, NCS parent 13–16), and Dan Slutsky (NCS 65–70) for planning this incredible event!
