Congratulations to Naomi Livits ’27 on qualifying for the state championship meet!

Naomi qualified in the 200m and 400m, the latter of which she finished in 3rd place with a new personal and school record of 58.46 seconds. Her time was good enough to qualify for the state championship meet, taking place today and tomorrow at Jesse Owens Memorial Stadium. Naomi will be racing today (Thursday) in the semi-finals at 5:50 p.m., and if she advances, will be racing again tomorrow at 5:50 p.m. Best of luck, Naomi!

On May 9, we said goodbye to our first home.

The original 1918 building on Fishinger Road has been Wellington's Fishinger Road address since our founders purchased it in 1981. Alumni, founders, former faculty, trustees, and donors gathered to honor what happened inside those walls — and to break ground on what comes next.

Former Head of School David Blanchard, founders Jeff Wilkins and Jack Ruscilli, and early faculty members Darrel Ivy, Mary Potter, Jill Webb, and Chris Robbins shared stories that reminded us: it was never just a building. It was where something remarkable began.

The 1918 building may come down this summer. But the people who filled it — and everything they built together - aren't going anywhere.
