Big thanks to Anne Sherman, Carolyn Figoten, Neely Boucher, Ashley Cohen, Kate Cappaert, Julia Bartels, and all of our great BHES artists for putting on a wonderful Art Show! 

We want to extend our deepest gratitude to Laurel Keating for her exceptional volunteerism and commitment to the BHES PTA. Laurel has been a dedicated and integral part of the BHES community since her oldest daughter Adleigh (now a rising senior at Whitman) was in elementary school. Most recently, she’s spearheaded the afterschool enrichment activities, and Laurel previously served four consecutive years on the PTA Board as MCCPTA Delegate/Cluster Representative and Treasurer. Simply put, working with Laurel is an incredibly humbling and rewarding experience. She’s a problem solver, highly collaborative, and a wealth of institutional knowledge — which she willingly shares with parents who are newer to volunteer roles with the PTA. As Laurel and her husband Bryan’s youngest child, Garrett graduates and goes to Pyle, we salute the Keating family. They will be sorely missed.
