It has been a busy summer at Gunston, especially with the success of our new Summer Programs. Led by our own Amy Gross-Kehoe, we saw more than 200 students on campus for sports camps, technology camps, rowing camps, environmental camps, and more. We are already looking forward to next summer.

| The Library, in process of renovation |
Thanks to the funds raised in honor of the Everdells at Stop the Auction, one of the other major initiatives this summer has been the renovation of the Duffey-Blackwood Library. We began by "weeding" the collection of un- or under-utilized books and we reworked the furniture layout in order to make the library more student friendly. Over the next few months, we will see improvements in signage, layout, information access, and general resources. Students will also have around 24 different periodicals to peruse. The effort to convert the library will be guided by our own Ms. Wheatley.

| The Junior-Senior Center, painted Gunston green! |
Finally, the Junior-Senior Center is nearly ready to launch. Two of our student leaders, Charlie Fichtner and Tricia Athey, have done a great job to create a floor plan and thanks to Ernie Darling, the walls have been painted Gunston green. The only thing left to do is get the furniture inside, decorate the walls, and for our own Seniors to "earn the keys" in a newly created ceremony. Both the library and the lounge will be great student spaces!
