Lost Grade Book Recovered at Hackley

Tuesday, March 7th, 2006

Lower School Spanish teacher finds missing grade book. Tells search crews, “Never mind.”

The search for the book, containing the Spanish grades of Hackley School third and fourth graders, involved a large scale dismantling of the Hackley Lower School building by professional crews trained for just such an emergency. (See picture below.)

Spanish teacher Anne Gatschet said she was, “slightly embarrassed,” when she discovered that the missing book was, “under the front seat of my car the whole time.”

Hackley School headmaster Walter Johnson had this to say when told of the grade book’s recovery. “I’m just happy that the grades of these students have been recovered, and that we can get started on the restoration of the building. I also think that this whole effort shows the depth of Hackley’s commitment to the needs of the faculty and the lengths to which we will go to support them in their teaching endeavors.”

Ms. Gatschet related that she was “very upset” about losing the book when she appealed to the administration for help, and was encouraged by their willingness to “help me out of a bind.”

Ms. Gatschet - I found it!

Gatschet was elated by the recovery of the book and encouraged the search crews to “just go ahead and put everything back like you found it.”

Our very own Mary Poppins.

Saturday, December 4th, 2004

Well the wind has changed at 218 Gordon Ave. Our friend and nanny Marilú Vasquez has returned to her home in Lima, Peru. To say we will miss her doesn’t quite get it.

Being able to endure 200+ screenings of Mary Poppins was impressive. Having someone so completely competent and trustworthy to care for Marilyn was truly a gift. When Marilyn tries to say “I Miss Marilú” in a few days, she will be saying it in Spanish. Marilú you have been a joy for us. Thank-you.
