Congratulations<br />
to the Class of 2009!<br />
<strong>Gordon</strong> held its commencement on Wednesday, June 10th. Thirty-six eighth<br />
graders received their diplomas surrounded by friends and family.<br />
Rob Glancy ’97 was the commencement speaker and shared with the class<br />
reflections of his experiences at <strong>Gordon</strong> and beyond. Rob graduated from the<br />
University of Colorado at Boulder where he earned a BA in journalism with<br />
honors and distinction. He currently works as a small business banker at Bank<br />
of America in Boston’s financial district.<br />
Student Leadership Council Co-Presidents Brandon Bowman ’09 and Rebecca<br />
Bendheim ’09 also spoke about their memories of their class and experiences<br />
at <strong>Gordon</strong>.<br />
“Congratulations Class of 2009, we did it! As we prepare to embark on the next<br />
stages of our lives, I want to take a few minutes to think about how it is we got<br />
to be here, on this stage, at this moment. What and who were the driving forces<br />
in preparing us for this next step? While we know that we could not have done<br />
it without the support, love and guidance from our parents and the great teachers<br />
at <strong>Gordon</strong> <strong>School</strong>, we sometimes overlook the important factor in the equation<br />
—each other. Throughout our time at <strong>Gordon</strong>, and sometimes below the radar<br />
screen of our teachers, we have been taking care of each other, resolving<br />
conflicts, developing our imaginations and just learning how to be in the world<br />
beyond <strong>Gordon</strong>.” —Brandon Bowman ’09, Student Council Co-Chair<br />
