Campus Voices

Each month, The Link visits BB&N's three campuses to hear directly from directors or teachers about what's on their minds. We share their letters below.


Lower School

Sue Scarborough

We are off and running toward another wonderful year at the Lower School. With the beautiful summer-like weather, the children enjoyed a festive welcome back picnic as well as many opportunities to play outdoors. These events, along with the welcoming classrooms our teachers prepared, have launched us into the first semester. When I was teaching, fall was always my favorite time of the school year. Everything was fresh and new. More

Middle School

Mary Dolbear

When I first learned of our new publication, The Link, I was thrilled to know that as a school community, we would now have a new and more current method to collect the wide array of news and events in a more realistic and effective format for families. The pace of BB&N is quick and The Link captures and extends the perfect invitation for families to connect with this vibrant and active community in form, function, and serial arrangement. More

Upper School

Jack Knapp

Louis Sullivan, the great Chicago architect, once wrote that "form ever follows function" and his words ring so true to me this month with the opening of the Upper School academic year amid the splendors of the new building to whose construction so many contributed so generously. It is a wonderful addition, one that will make a special contribution to the sense of community we are building at BB&N. More

All School

Rebecca T. Upham

Welcome to the first edition of The Link! This is our foray into electronic newsletters. With the simple push of a button we have retired The Notebook and ushered in a new age of parent communications. One of our goals is to deliver news to you in a more timely fashion. But another equally important goal is to give parents from one campus access to perspectives on educational issues from people on other campuses, too. In this issue of The Link, each of the campus directors joins me in sharing their insights and observations on these first few days. More
