Anyone who knows anything about BCD can tell you that Campus Day has become one of the best, funnest, superest, superlative laden parent bonding experiences every year.
This year was no exception, and we’ve got the pictures to prove it!
Before we get to the pictures, I want to give a special shout out to Margaret Lindenmaier, whose hard work organizing this event has made it so exciting. Also, the expertise and generosity of Larry Bingham, John Piasecki and Joe Sonsini helped us all achieve much more than we could have on our own.
(full disclosure: I worked on the kiosk/wall extension project, so it is heavily featured below)
We were met first thing with a sumptuous feast of breakfast goodies, including some of the best coffee I’ve ever had, wow, zing! Yeah! (if you don’t know what I’m referencing, please see The Waiting Room tonight).

Early on, Larry Bingham, Phil Knoll and Don Harwood were hard at work on the new Upper School swingset.

Meanwhile, my hero, Joe Sonsini cut stone with the biggest saw I’ve ever seen. Joe worked, taught, and mentored a large crew of people while supplying all the materials and tools to get the job done. Thank you, Joe!

Here, Joe, Chris and Charles Weld work out how to place the next corner stone.

Tyler Sonsini, Peyton Schiff and Bryce Schuler help Joe Sonsini lay the final stone in the project.

Finally, and this is my favorite picture of all, you get to see many (but not all) of our volunteers who stuck around for pizza (supplied, incredibly generously, by Theresa Sonsini). What a great crowd, what a great day!

Say Pizza!
Some key players missing from this picture: Glen Novak, Pier Boutin, Mark Hyman, and Wendi Hauck — and those are only the people I remembered had left.
I hope everyone who didn’t make it this year due to the rescheduling will try to get out for our next Community Campus Day.
