Education 2020

I follow the "Teach Paperless" blog, and in December of 2009, they published a post entitled "21 Things that will become obsolete in education by 2020."  At Gunston, we will be using this as a reference point for our ongoing conversations about the evolution of education, and as part of a discussion about how Gunston can maximize our small size and committment to personalization.

On Saturday, September 17th, a group of students and parents, organized by the new Gunston Parents Association, came to school to help beautify our campus.  After two hours of pulling vinca, raking leaves, and trimming hedges, everyone felt a sense of accomplishment, and it was a beautiful day to be outside.  By the end of the event, the front of Middleton was vastly more attractive!


Of course, every hour volunteered by our students and parents not only makes our campus more beautiful and binds us together in fun and fellowship, but in this era of limited resources, it also allows us to direct our resources to the areas that we care most about: student programming and teacher development.

Community Letter: School Opening

As we begin the 2011-2012 school year, see my community letter that outlines the major initiatives for the year and introduces our new faculty: Community Letter

The Gunston School

On August 11th, Gunston was formally reincorporated as The Gunston School.  We are still in process of reworking our viewbooks, website, stationery, etc.  Why did we decide to change our school's name?  See my letter to our community: The Gunston School.

Nuestra Escuela Gunston

Last year I promised Senor Angarita that the winner of his Gunston promotional video in-class assignment would be posted on this blog.  Let me congratulate Tricia Athey, Jacqueline Gross, and Katherine Gross for their excellent work in capturing the essence of Gunston en espanol.
