The graduation of The Putney School’s class of 2018 was held on June 3 and featured speeches by Mica Lin-Alves ’18, Acadia Barrengos ’18 and Jared Blumenfeld ’87. Chairman of the Board Joshua Laughlin ’82 and Head of School Emily Jones presented the 64 graduates with unique diplomas hand-crafted by their classmates.

Blumenfeld told The Putney School’s 83rd graduating class: “The next time you crave a dose of Putney, take an action to build community, stay curious and fill your life with courage and purpose. And if that fails, crack open a big bottle of maple syrup, pour it over a thick piece of french toast and remember how sweet life really is.”
