This school year, 2012-2013, the school has expanded to over 100 students and added the 6th grade .  Here are the teachers.  Our thanks to them and thanks to our supporters for funding salaries.  Able, committed teachers, as here, are the foundation of any school.

The deep winter days have been brightened by two convivial events in support of St Matthew’s.

New Year/ Haiti’s Independence Day.  “Soupe Jamou” a supper featuring this traditional Haitian soup and Polka Dots for luck!  Our cook Suzannah tapped the expertise of Mme Vatel, mother of Tahina who ran the summer Arts Camp 18 months ago.

And the theme for Mary Hocken’s 75th birthday bash was Hats!

Thanks to all–organizers, sponsors, celebrators and contributors.

A vast success!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The final phase of  this summer’s “oral history” project was completed this October.  We were delighted to welcome Fr. Max, priest of St Matthew’s and prime mover of our school there, to the Pioneer Valley.

In his clerical role he celebrated with us at Grace and St John’s Noho.  As educator, he braved the excited interrogations of Sunday schoolers, Worthington’s  full student body  and  Crocker Farm fifth grade.
