Jon Cole performed beautifully on the marimba
Maura Heary McDonald and her oldest son presented an award in memory of her father, Tom Heary.
Tom was our beloved high school principal for nearly twenty years. He died of leukemia at age 54.
Kiel Mead, our keynote speaker, hit just the right note of humor, practical advice and a thoughtful reflection on the importance of building community. At age 29, he is incredibly successful. He was on the Forbes List of 30 under 30 to watch, partly for his designs, but also because he has built the American Design Club, which is a collaborative effort to promote artists. Kiel spoke about how the community came together to support his family when his dad was suffering from ALS. I always knew he was pretty special, but of course had no idea how he would direct his energies. In fact, that's what he spoke about. He didn't know exactly what direction he would take 11 years ago when he graduated. I think of him and Colin hanging out in our basement, playing games and creating crazy stories.
School Board members, Kiel and Supt. DiFonzo
