The Form of 2009 Plaque

The center of the 2009 plaque features a polar bear supporting the earth on his back, representing the newly founded Environmental Stewardship program and the establishment of the Environmental Values Statement for the School. The upper left corner shows a Democratic donkey bearing President Obama’s initials, which represents his 2008 Presidential Election win. The upper right depicts the Lion Capital of Ashoka representing the School’s India Week program. Spanning the bottom is an arrow which represents the cross country team’s win at New England’s.

2009 Plaque Progress: Carving Completed

The carving for the Form of 2009 plaque is now completed. The representatives from the Form of 2009 chose the following events to be illustrated on the plaque:

• The upper left corner has the Democratic donkey symbol with President Obama’s initials to represent his win of the 2008 General Election
• The upper right corner has the Lion Capital of Ashoka to represent India Week
• Across the bottom edge is the arrow representing the cross country team’s win at the New England championships
• The center of the design features a polar bear supporting the earth to represent the Environmental Stewardship/Environmental Values Statement that were adopted that year as well as the school-wide Earth Day event

Now that the carving process is completed, I will apply a painted finish to the plaque to have it ready for presentation at the 2017 Anniversary Weekend at the beginning of June. Stay tuned for updates on the completion of the plaque!
