HING IS POSSIBLE curriculum over the course of your education forces you out of your comfort zone and into the 25%. We build that public speaking muscle whether you are an introvert or an extrovert. At TLS, you are asked to step up. My hope is that you continue to use that leadership muscle in high school, college, and beyond. Continue that TLS tradition of leading.” Chris Young ’90, board of trustees president, gave a comprehensive overview of the past year, with an up- to-the-minute report on the ONE School project, which will positively affect every Lexington School student and teacher. In thanking three most special people for their tremendous impact upon the success of The Lexington School, he presented honorary alumni diplomas to Chuck Baldecchi (H’19), Erin Baldecchi (H’19), and Bob Thompson (H’19). In deep respect for Bob’s 35 years of protecting and guiding the financial well-being of the school, the Board of Trustees has unanimously voted to name the soon-to-be-remodeled business office in honor of Mr. Robert “Bob” Thompson. Una MacCarthy -- Assistant Head, Head of Middle School, and incoming Head – presented academic awards. Mr. Baldecchi, retiring Head, completed his 15th commencement by giving a diploma and congratulatory handshake to his 785th student as Uma Zimmerman walked across the stage to receive hers. Congratulations to the Class of 2019! 5
