Founders Celebrates John Stark Day 2018
Posted on 04/13/2018
John Stark Day 2018John Stark Day 2018 was a great success for The Founders Academy!

This is the first year that the day is on the second Monday of April, not the fourth, thanks in no small part to our students who testified in Concord on behalf of House Bill 91.

In addition to our yearly tradition of reading facts about the life of John Stark over the intercom during the day, we had our first annual John Stark Day Breakfast Fundraiser for invited guests.

We had a student speaker, Leah D., who talked briefly about her experience testifying in Concord for the bill.

Mrs. Cormier sang a beautiful rendition of the Star Spangled Banner, followed by the Chorus 2 students singing “Chester,” the unofficial New England anthem of the Revolutionary War written by William Billings. Next a selection of our drama students performed a short skit of the life of General Stark.

Barbara Biggie, the sponsor of House Bill 91, was the recipient of the first General John Stark Day Award.

A special thank you goes to Mrs. Kristi Scarpone for emceeing this event and to Mr. Van Ewyk and Dean Mooney for their help as well.
