![]() ![]() Dear CUSTOMFIELD1,
I hope you had a sun-soaked Memorial Day weekend! Fenn is gearing up to celebrate our students and graduating 8th and 9th graders. Prize Day and Graduation will look different this year, but teachers, staff and students are collaborating to make sure that the spirit of Fenn is not lost during these important annual events.
Each edition of this newsletter highlights how thoughtful, creative and selfless the boys and all members of the Fenn family are. We will continue to update you on these important year-end milestones and celebrations. Be sure to reach out to me with any questions or updates at mmarinella@fenn.org. Enjoy!
Acting Alumni Engagement Officer NEWS & EVENTS Rolling Rally at Fenn! Young Alumnus Shines Positive Light on NBA Star Sam Modur '15 is a rising sophomore at BB&N and is a contributing writer for The Benchwarmer. This electronic publication serves as a student-run sports newspaper. Sam decided to write an article about recent number one NBA draft pick Zion Williamson. The New Orleans Pelicans forward is a budding super star, but Sam chose to focus more on his generosity and off-the-court prowess. Read more about what Zion did in Sam's article. Keep on writing, Sam; a great job! Chris Calkins '08 - Stand Up 2 Stay Home After graduating from Fenn in 2008, Chris went on to Phillips Academy and then Dartmouth College. He is now a medical student at Stanford University and he has joined forces with over 650 medical students, doctors, and experts to help share resources as well as spread knowledge and awareness surrounding COVID-19. Chris and twelve others from Stanford joined together to research and write The White Paper, which highlights the pros and cons of the stay-at-home order. Click here to read more. Alumnus Chris Ruediger '14 Shows His Talent Chris Ruediger '14 attends Vanderbilt and is making his way through the bustling Nashville music scene. Earlier this week, he treated the Fenn community to a wonderful musical number. The video was shown during All School Meeting on Wednesday and is sure to make the rounds on Fenn's social media channels. If you want to hear more of Chris's music visit his website. Enjoy this video and be sure to keep an ear out for more great things from Chris and his musical talent in the future! ![]() Update: Andrew Biscoe '79 Andy is the son of teacher and coach Mark Biscoe and brother of fellow alumnus Mark Jr. '74. After graduating from UMass Amherst in 1987 with a B.A. in Journalism, Andrew spent the better part of the last three decades building an impressive military career. This past October, he earned the rank of Chief Master Sergeant in the U.S. Air Force. Only 1% of those that serve in the Air Force ever meet that rank! His career has taken him to Germany and Qatar, but he is now stationed at Robins Air Force Base outside Atlanta, Georgia, with his wife, DeAnne. He is the functional manager for the Air Force Reserve Command public affairs career field and in charge of the training and professional development for over 300 enlisted airmen and women. MARK YOU CALENDAR FOR JUNE 1ST Fenn's Day of Giving- The Field Day Classic - June 1st Fenn boys are participating in a virtual Field Day this week, and all alumni are encouraged to get in on the fun! We have a goal of adding 75 Annual Fund donors on this day of giving. As we hit donor thresholds, be prepared to enjoy some fun participation by Fenn's faculty and staff. Rumor has it that both Star and Headmaster Boonisar could be involved! Please send copies of any old Field Day photos or videos you may have to Jess Adani at jadani@fenn.org. Go Blue! Go Gold! SEND A MESSAGE TO THE GRADUATES We are still accepting videos of encouragement and congratulations in support of all our departing Fenn boys. Please send any messages to us by June 3! E-mail or text a quick video message (60 seconds or less) to Mike Marinella at mmarinella@fenn.org or 781-539-5555. WE WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU!
