Already, the testimonials and tributes to BB&N faculty from the past 50+ years have started pouring in from alumni/ae, parents, and past parents. Excerpts include:

--“My daughter is a lifer. The day we came to the Morse Building library to apply for beginners, I remember Ann Niles asking me what I hoped my daughter would gain from a BB&N education. I said I hoped she would feel that school was a magical place, where wonderful things happen, and that she would have that ‘I can’t wait to get there’ excitement every day. All of that has come true in greater measure than I could have ever imagined, because of the talent and dedication of all the teachers she has been so lucky to have.”

--“[Mr. Wight] was a model of moral principle and strong character that had a strong shaping influence on my own moral development and taught me the importance of courageously standing up to authority in defense of fairness.”

--“Anyone who had [Mrs. Matt] as a teacher would never have any trouble knowing whether to say ‘I or me,’ ‘who or whom.’ Grammar became a game and we actually loved it, diagramming complicated sentences, rewriting incredible stories which she had written purposely filled with grammatical errors.”

--“All of my intellectual life after BB&N was inspired and enriched by teaching there. Thank you.”

So, we hope to see you on April 11 as we pay tribute to the contributions and profound impact of BB&N faculty, from both present day and yesteryear!
