Hello everyone, hope you’re having a great day. My name is Gabe Shumway and I’ll be taking over the MacDuffie Instagram today to show you a day in the life of a MacDuffie student and why you should #choosemacduffie
Our boarders spent this past weekend getting into the holiday spirit #boardingschool #boardingschoollife #themacduffieschool
Our Faculty Friday is none other than the newest member of our Macduffie Family, Ms. Amanda Putnam. Ms. Putnam teaches Visual Arts here at The MacDuffie School and has a Master's in Fine Arts in Children's Book Illustration from the Academy of Art in San Francisco, CA, and a Bachelors in Art Education from Westfield State University in Westfield, MA. Outside of teaching, she is also an aspiring Fantasy Art and Children's Book Illustrator. Ms. Putnam is part of the SCBWI (the Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators) and has aspirations to become part of the New England Illustrators Guild. She has been a part of several gallery shows as well as the receiver of many awards, one of them being the Emerging Artist Award given out by the R. Michelson Gallery in Northampton during the 2018's SCBWI New England Conference. In her free time, she enjoys hiking, making earrings out of humanely harvested feathers, playing DnD, and playing Legend of Zelda on her Nintendo Switch.
We are pleased to announce that there is now a student-run tiktok account. Please feel free to submit content to be featured on our account. We look forward to seeing what our students produce. As always like, comment, and share! #themacduffieschool @tiktok #tiktok
Alexandra Guilamo, Founder, CEAO TaJu Educational Solutions led a dynamic conversation with MacDuffie students, faculty, and staff at the invitation of our MOSAIC club. Ms. Guilamo is a 'social justice warrior, bilingual educator with a passion and evidence for engaging and partnering with schools to systematically strategically plan for equity and the success of multilingual learners. Commitment to program models, policy changes, and strategies designed to ensure students are valued, affirmed, and have access to schools that remove barriers to success in education and life. Lifelong equity disruptor...' Guilamo encouraged all of us to be curious of the bubbles of others we encounter rather than resisting them. We participated in an Exemption Walk exercise to expose some of the things we experience differently than others. Thank you to MOSAIC leader Janelle '23 for making this guest speaker possible and to Ms. Guilamo for her time and presentation.
