Two 9th Grade Students Recognized by Lenox School Alumni Association

Ninth graders I. Ciaburri & I. van der Meulen were recognized at the MS/US Morning Meeting today by the Lenox School for Boys Alumni Association for their service to BCD.  Every year, the Lenox School Alumni Association recognizes two 9th graders with $1,000 scholarships in their name to BCD for exemplifying the Lenox School’s motto: “Not to be served, but to serve.” Presenting their scholarship award were Jim Fawcett, BCD English teacher formerly of The Lenox School for Boys; Bob Sansone, President of the Lenox School Alumni Association; and Lenox School alumnus Charlie McGee.

When BCD was founded in 1946, it was housed on the campus of The Lenox School for Boys, an independent secondary school located on what is today the home of Shakespeare & Company. The school closed its doors in 1971 but alums stayed connected and in 1987 formed an active alumni association, which raises money to give out scholarships each year in the names of students at BCD and Miss Hall’s.
