Executive 83

Chris Flagg and John Knight recently attended the Spring meeting of the Executive Committee of the Deerfield Academy Alumni Association.

As your representatives they asked good questions, made trustees listen to their salient points and twice disrupted the proceedings with selfie taking.  (Actually, that was all JK.  Flagg was falsely accused).

Deerfield's master plan for the campus proceeds apace - new and improved athletic facilities will open in the Fall, and a new Health facility will be built after the shabby grey Physical Plant building is removed.  (New Phys. Plant building already up and running on the Williams Farm property that DA purchased.)

The three seniors that spoke to the assembled committee were articulate, thoughtful and already years beyond most of our levels of maturity at that age.  The Head of School Search Committee hopes to have a new Head of School announced by Thanksgiving but no interviews have taken place yet.

A few pictures below - but nothing beats seeing it in person at our 35th REUNION!  Pricing increases May 24 - REGISTER NOW.  Even if you can only make it Saturday, please come!

Here's one look at the new field house with hockey rink underneath it (left side of picture), next to existing squash and pool building, taken from the playing fields.



















And here's a fence banner image of what the complete look will be from the playing fields...
