‘Tis the season…

Given tumultuous world we currently live in it is nice to look around and give some hearty thanks.

We give thanks…

- to parents committed to their child’s learning

- to a local economy cautiously staying above the national economy

- to a faculty who is experienced and hardworking

- to a community free from religious or political persecution

- to donors, corporate sponsors, and generous foundations

- and to you for your support of The Children’s Center for Communication/ Beverly School for the Deaf

This time of year is a wonderful moment to be exceptionally thankful for our local community and those people who make it wonderful place to live, work, and grow. Thank you.

From the entire CCC/BSD Community - Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, and Happy Holidays to you and your family.

This week we hosted Congressman John Tierney to our campus. The Congressman and his family have long been supporters of our mission, students and school. We rely on the work Congressman Tierney does on behalf of education and Medicare/Medicaid.

We were joined by Board President Len Femino and the Mayor of the city of Beverly, William Scanlon. These relationships continue to be important to the school.

We continue to build and maintain our relationships with political forces on behalf of our students. As a school serving a broad range of constituents, we must ensure that the individuals who represent our interest can understand those interests and support us appropriately. Our stake is in supporting our students and we encourage all politicians to advocate for those issues.

Special thanks to Congressman Tierney for visiting our students and campus and appreciating the hard work of our dedicated faculty and staff.

This past month we were pleased to open The Douglas Marino Community Baseball Field. In the 135 year history of the school, we have not had a formal baseball field. The site where the field is located was once a cow pasture and students would play in the long grass while hoping the ball would not roll down the hill out of sight.
