Wow, February was a fast month! Many thanks to Maryellen Feely and Lindy Camel for coordinating the very informative Summer Opportunity Discussion. Thanks also to Beba Errichetti and Alison Lake for all their help with the 5th Annual Global Brunswick Dinner and Program that was enjoyed by many. Lastly, thank you to Jane Sprung and Doreen Griffin for an exciting Pre School/Lower School Bingo Night and Alex Bergstein and Chrissy von Oiste for a very fun Pre School/Lower School Skate Night.

I hope everyone has an enjoyable and relaxing break.

Brunswick School Benefit Golf Outing
With spring just a few weeks away, you’ll have plenty of time to practice your swing before the 2010 Benefit Golf Outing on Monday, May 3, at Winged Foot Golf Club. Invitations were mailed to all Brunswick families in early February.   Men, women and mixed foursomes are all welcome! Friends, neighbors, relatives - all are invited; a person need not be a member of the Brunswick community to play.

For more information, check out the Benefit website: (www.brunswickschool.org/benefit/) or contact Benefit Co Chair: Ginger Craft (gcraft220@aol.com) or Golf Outing Chairs: Eileen Grasso (ograsso@aol.com ), Bridget Queally (bqueally3@aol.com ) or DaniVirtue (dani@tdvirtue.com ).

 

It’s not too late to be a sponsor of this inaugural golf fundraiser! Golf Outing Sponsorships are still available for corporations/businesses or personal/family tributes, too. See the Benefit website (www.brunswickschool.org/benefit/) or download the sponsorship form from the “Parents” page of the Brunswick School website.

Last month, all four divisions were entertained by a traditional Japanese drumming group named Taiko Masala. They are well known for combining the training and discipline of martial arts with the precision and power of complex drumming. If your sons have not already told you about the show please ask them to share what they saw and heard.

 

The eighth graders, under the guidance of Shakesperience, participated in small group interactive workshops focusing on William Shakespeare's Romeo & Juliet.
