Alumni Weekend and Field Day at the Berkshire Center
The Berkshire Center staff and students hosted a wonderful three day Alumni Weekend.
The Student Senate planned an awesome Field Day event which included a long jump, scavenger hunt, wheel barrow race, kickball, BBQ lunch and a tree planting in honor of Arbor Day. Awards were presented to the winners of each event.
On Saturday evening seven of the veteran staff and 15 alumni had dinner together at the Cork n’ Hearth restaurant on Laurel Lake in Lee. This is the sixth year that this event has happened and is mostly coordinated by the alumni themselves. Thanks to all who helped make this happen!
