Founder's Day


Founder's Day
Originally uploaded by Pesky Library
Today we celebrate the opening of our school, first known as the Dummer Charity School. On March 1, 1763, Reverend Moses Parsons of the Byfield Parish Church opened with a prayer and and spoke on Isaiah 32:8 - "But the liberal deviseth liberal things, and by liberal things shall he stand." On March 1, 2010 we watched images of our past history. Headmaster Doggett led us in a rousing chorus of Happy Birthday and we were treated to cake as we left Morning Meeting. Archivist Laurie DiModica created a display in the library's foyer and had major school documents on display for students.
