Papandreou Receives Disciplina Ad Vivendum Award Head of School Andy Delinsky and Board Chair Jamie Foley presented the Disciplina ad Vivendum Award for teaching excellence to Upper School Math Teacher A M Y P A P A N D R E O U at the Welcome Back Dinner on September 7. Established in 2005, this award is the most distinguished award at Peck for a faculty member. At Peck, educational objectives are clear: graduates will succeed academically, and will have the mindset and moral fiber to lead productive and principled lives. This requires a talented and capable faculty who are not only interested in who our students are today, but in the people they will become tomorrow. To adapt to changes in the educational landscape without sacrificing academic strengths and core values, faculty must constantly grow and learn themselves. The Disciplina Ad Vivendum award honors that commitment to lifelong learning.

In Honor of 20 Years Facilities Supervisor D E N N IS Y A N O SKI was recently honored for an important milestone: 20 years of dedicated service to The Peck School. He received an engraved, personalized Peck chair. “Behind every great school is a great team of Facilities staff, working tirelessly, often in inclement weather or well into evenings to ensure our campus is ready for teachers to work their magic the following day. And behind every great Facilities team is a great leader. Peck has been lucky to have Dennis leading by example for the past two decades,” said Head of School Andy Delinsky during Peck’s Welcome Back Dinner on September 7. Not only has Yanoski applied his expertise to keeping our campus running smoothly on a day-to-day basis, he has also gifted our community with the beauty of his artistry. An award-winning painter, he has exhibited his beautiful seascape oil paintings in Lindenwold’s lobby over the years, and has taught several after-school enrichment painting classes in Peck’s Enrichment Program (PEP).
