Evan Greulich writes, “Last May Claire Edelen (Middlebury alum) and I got married outside Baltimore. Travis Green ’08 and Dan Leopold served as stellar groomsmen, and other alums in attendance included Peter Greulich ’79, David Knight, Anastasia Miliano, Tyler Frisbee ’08, Greg Sokol, Rob Mercurio ’12, Julie Davenport, and Emma Nairn. While the ‘Salty Dog Rag’ didn’t make the playlist, there was nonetheless plenty of dancing had by all!”

Spotted on Facebook: Akosua Osei-Bobie, who is the principal at P.A. Shaw Elementary School in Boston, was awarded the 2019 Administrative Advocate Award by the Massachusetts School Library Association. The award honors administrators for significant contributions to promote student learning through school library programs and services. “Fighting for her students to have the same amenities and opportunities as those in suburban districts, she has supported the library since the P.A. Shaw’s opening back in 2014. She sees the library as a valuable resource and equalizer for her students,” said Shaw librarian Morgan VanClief. “She recognizes the value in reading and that students learn more when teachers and librarians collaborate. She has empowered me to continue creating engaging learning experiences in the library, giving me the flexibility to implement a makerspace as well as incorporate robotics and STEM challenges into library time. She promotes our book fair and roams the school wearing a giant Clifford suit. She makes all our guest authors feel welcome. She fought tirelessly to help me get shelving, adequate furniture, and books.” Way to go!
