对一名海盗来说，这是多么不平凡的一年啊!

随着校园里的事情逐渐结束，4001百老汇会员登录迎来了缓慢的夏季节奏, I am reflecting on my personal highlights this year and sharing ten of my favorite moments in this video: http://youtu.be/0VKUwCewkwk

祝你度过一个平安快乐的夏天，

上周, I had the great pleasure of welcoming parents of 校友 to our 校友家长 Association Kick-off event. 多年来 we have heard from parents– some of whom had spent countless hours serving Buc Pizza, 在奥运会做志愿者, BASH, 或者图书馆——当他们的孩子从本杰明大学毕业时，他们如何感到空虚. 

与校友办公室合作, 这个小组每年将计划和主办一些活动，包括网络活动, 终身学习系列, 志愿服务机会, 和更多的. 

One of my favorite parts of welcoming this group of parents to the Kick-Off was sharing how Benjamin is changing and growing while maintaining the ethos passed on from Nancy and Marshall Benjamin more than 60 years ago. 4001百老汇会员登录目前有1200多名学生，200名教职员工和支持人员. 这比许多家长记忆中的本杰明要大一些, 但这一增长使4001百老汇会员登录能够为学生提供更多的课程. 

Ten years ago, we didn’t have a robotics team, but now we have one headed to the world championship. One year ago, we didn’t have beach volleyball courts; now we have a team dominating the competition. 拥有一流的设施，如本杰明大厅和4001百老汇会员登录的STEM中心, 4001百老汇会员登录为学生提供最好的设施，让他们继续前进. 但, 池塘仍然保留在低年级, 4001百老汇会员登录院子里的钟和美丽的榕树也一样. 

It was fantastic to catch up with the group of parents - some who had children graduate in the 1980’s and others whose kids are still in their freshman year of school. This particular group is one who has seen the proverbial “proof in the pudding” as their sons and daughters have taken the lessons learned at TBS and forged their paths in the world. They know the value of challenging students individually while also providing support and encouragement necessary for success. And many of them look back on their days as a TBS parent and recall a memory where their child had a struggle, 在一位老师的帮助下坚持了下来, 当你努力工作时，你会有一种满足感. 

多年来, 4001百老汇会员登录吸取了TBS教育的精华，并使其更加强大, 通过深思熟虑的思考推动它向前发展，并为下一代做出改进. 我期待着继续与4001百老汇会员登录校友的父母分享本杰明的经历, 因为他们一生都是真正的海盗.

春季学期的势头继续推动着4001百老汇会员登录的学生取得多方面的成就. 一周的高潮, 对很多人来说, 整个学年, 第32届低年级奥运会是什么. 除了一场雨，这是完美的一周. 每天在球场上展现出来的勇气、善良和正直是无与伦比的. 这是4001百老汇会员登录最喜爱的传统之一, 每个1 -5年级的教室采用一个国家, 花一个月的时间沉浸在学习他们的文化中, 然后代表那个国家参加一天的运动会.

2021年底, 4001百老汇会员登录收购了位于US1和麦克拉伦路拐角处的前银行财产. As part of our master campus planning work, we are asking ourselves what to do with this blank space. 

 

董事会主席，达伦·洛和我采访了. 霍根和其他老师和学生就如何扩大4001百老汇会员登录的校园足迹征求他们的意见. 

 

看看他们是怎么说的:

当我昨天为二年级的学生们打卡登上“极地快车”时, I couldn’t help but feel like that moment was the culmination of a season’s worth of holiday magic at TBS. 4001百老汇会员登录学校有丰富的传统, 4001百老汇会员登录的年度活动也因4001百老汇会员登录优秀的师资队伍而更加丰富多彩, 一个多元化的学生群体, 还有一个非常支持我的家长社区. 当4001百老汇会员登录成功地结束了第一个学期，我为4001百老汇会员登录的特殊学校感到骄傲和感激. 

随着假期的临近，4001百老汇会员登录的校园里充满了各种各样的活动. 在BPAC有现场观众的四场精彩的幼儿园表演非常有趣. I'm always amazed at how our students shine on the stage with each 5 or 6-year-old stepping up to the microphone for a line or song. The arts continued to shine in 本杰明·霍尔 as some of our dancers joined Ballet Vero Beach for their "under the sea" spin off of the Nutcracker. While our dance team may not have previously envisioned themselves dressed as turtles or manatees in a famous ballet, 他们欣然接受这一独特的体验，并以欢快的表演打动了观众.

Both campuses are abuzz with excitement and activity this Fall as the cooler weather (for Florida at least) ushers in a whole new host of 活动 for the Benjamin community. 

我有迎接父母的喜悦, 校友, 和同学们一起回到校园参加各种激动人心的活动和一年一度的传统活动.

而4001百老汇会员登录的学生们则在榕树下欣赏了WOW多元文化表演, 低年级学生在万圣节游行时绕着足球场走, we also had the opportunity to engage more than just our current student body with two inaugural events this season. 

校友会举办了第一届高尔夫精英赛，取得了巨大的成功, 为学校筹集资金，欢迎校友回到母校. 校友们与过去的父母们联合起来, 现在的父母, 和受托人, 打一场友谊赛，然后在美国职业高尔夫球协会参加午餐招待会.

11月3日晚，学校还在高中举办了女子网球锦标赛. 循环赛, 由BPA带头, was a great opportunity for new and returning parents to get to know each other through friendly competition.

One of the best aspects of the Benjamin community is that it is truly a community - a place where every member of your family can participate and be a part of the experience. 

I’m looking forward to meeting and reconnecting with more Buccaneers as we wrap up the first semester. 

去buc!

上周，我以本杰明·海盗的身份经历了另一个精神周. 我很喜欢用一系列热烈的庆祝活动来拉开返校节足球赛的序幕, 活动, 友好竞争. 

教师们在学生vs. 高中的教职工踢球比赛. 高中校长弗莱彻·卡尔的表演给我留下了深刻的印象, 英语老师和校友. 90年代的斯坦纳和特杰拉-米德女士，他们每一局都在战斗.  

整个星期, it was wonderful to witness all three divisions coming together in solidarity and showing their Buccaneer pride, including our lower school students who had the opportunity to participate in Spirit Week for the first time. Their excitement seeing the “big kids” come to the lower/middle school campus for a handful of events was contagious. 虽然4001百老汇会员登录的学校横跨三个部门，但4001百老汇会员登录仍然作为一个海盗家庭联系在一起. 

我很喜欢看4001百老汇会员登录的同学俱乐部, 一群“15年俱乐部”成员, 在早上接送学生时与年轻的学生互动. Our 3rd grade was also treated to a visit from two senior cheerleaders and four varsity football players who spoke to the class about their experiences as student-athletes, 鼓励他们来参加周五晚上的返校节比赛.

返校节对阵美国传统大学, 德尔雷, 充满了学校精神，以海盗队的胜利而告终! It was great to watch the exciting athleticism and sportsmanship on the field along with the community and conversation found in the 校友 tent and along the sidelines. Seeing so many former Buccaneers return to their alma mater for these annual events is a testament to the lifelong affiliation and fondness former students have for TBS.

一日为海盗，终身为海盗.

秋季学期的节奏即将到来. 运动队正深入他们的赛季, 话剧和综艺的排练正在进行中, 当学生和老师交流思想时，教室里充满了活力和热情. 

New lower school students have been enjoying pizza lunches with Dean Peterson at Robyn’s Nest on the lower school campus. Overhearing the joy and camaraderie of our new Kindergarten students as they played Buc trivia over lunch was heartwarming. 彼得森院长要求来自其他州的学生举手. 毕竟那些举手的人宣布了他们来自哪里, 一个新生举手宣布他们不是来自某个州. 这引起了一阵轻声的窃笑, 当他们接着说, “我来自德国!” 

与此同时, 在中学, 勇敢而有才华的年轻运动员不仅加入了4001百老汇会员登录的一些校队, 他们为他们的成功做出了巨大贡献. Benjamin 8th grader Gabbi DeGasperis broke the school’s girl’s golf record at the Palm League Championship this week. 

在高中阶段，学生们正在经历各种学科的成功. 高年级学生杰拉尔德·比塞尔, 乔伊Slyh, and Grady Wolf were named National Merit Semifinalists in the 2022 National Merit Scholarship Program. 他们加入了一个小型的全国性获奖者团体，在美国获奖人数中只占不到1%.S. 高三学生.

多么美好的2021-2022学年的第一周啊. 对于4001百老汇会员登录的学生来说，这将是令人兴奋的学习和机会的一年, 教师, 和工作人员. I enjoyed my mornings greeting many of our younger Buccaneers at drop-off and pick-up and witnessing first-day jitters quickly turn to end of week excitement.

Participating in the annual “Senior Clap-In” where the Class of 2022 assumed the mantle of leadership for the School was another highlight. I’m excited to see where their journeys take them beyond Benjamin as they will undoubtedly matriculate to a wide variety of impressive colleges and universities across the country.    

回顾这一周，我做得很好, 我想起了为什么新学年的开始是每年的亮点. 真的，没有什么能比新的开始更令人兴奋和充满希望.

为美好的一年干杯!
