Every BB&N graduation is a celebratory event, but none was possibly more jubilant than the one held for the Class of 2021 on June 11 on Nichols Field at the Upper School campus.

The temperate, sunny day could not have been more perfect, or appreciated, by those in attendance.

Over the last 8 weeks, the talented and dedicated students of BB&N continued to create work to be enjoyed by the whole community.

When Saffron Patel '22 felt the pangs of her distant grandparents' loneliness in the early weeks of the COVID-19 pandemic, she resolved to do something about it—not just for her relatives, but for other seniors who also might be missing contact with their families and friends. 

Necessity is the mother of invention, so the age-old adage goes, and the BB&N community's transition to remote learning has proven this in spades.
