Kurn Hattin Has 14 More Reasons to be Proud

Kurn Hattin Has 14 More Reasons to be Proud

Westminster, VT–Saturday, June 8, 2013 was Graduation Day at Kurn Hattin Homes–a very important milestone for the 14 eighth grade graduates. Graduation proceedings began with Charles P. Kelsey, President of the Board welcoming everyone and congratulating the students. Reverend Father Lance W. Harlow, a long-time music program volunteer and friend gave the Invocation and the Benediction. After Jenitza Fernandez gave a welcoming Salutation, several students received one or more prizes from the eleven categories of awards which included: Academic, Residential, the Massachusetts Board of Directors, Alumni Association, Woodhull Music, Maiola Athletic, Eleanor Ward Achievement, John P. Barry & Christopher W. Barry, W.I. Mayo Memorial, and Michael Bouvier Scholarship Award Scholarship. Jahyde Bullard, Valedictorian, bid a heartfelt and moving farewell before the presentation of diplomas by Charles P. Kelsey, President of the Board of Trustees and Scott Tabachnick, School Principal. 

To the Class of 2013–Jahyde Bullard (Camden, NJ), Thomas Taylor (Ludlow, VT), Christopher Hopkins (Springfield, VT), David Curtis (Langdon, NH), Montana Fellows (Wilder, VT), Krista Gottfried (Milton, VT), Jonathan Ortiz (Leominster, MA), Bryce Butler (Springfield, VT), Logen Dion (Lebanon, NH), Dominic Cherbonneau (Claremont, NH), Jenitza Fernandez (Holyoke, MA), Andrea Turner (Westminster, VT), Evany Rodriguez (Bronx, NY) and D’Leanne Solovei (Peterborough, NH)–We love you and are so proud of you. Be well, do good work and visit often. 

After graduating, most of the students will stay on campus for the summer in the ninth grade transition program. Then they will rejoin their families and attend their local high schools in the fall. One will go to the Vermont Academy in Saxtons River, and several of the other graduates will go the Milton Hershey School in Pennsylvania. Wherever they go, Kurn Hattin will always be their home. Since 1894, thousands of children have called Kurn Hattin home. Kurn Hattin Homes transforms the lives of children and their families forever.www.kurnhattin.org
