Right on! As parents of 3 wonderful students who attended Rye Brook schools and who fought to have our Jr.-H.S. school built we are so proud of our school system. The exhilarating atmosphere in those first years of the interaction between administrators and teachers and the bonds formed with students was amazing. When I would explain to others that my children came back from college holidays and wanted to visit with their teachers no one believed me. ! Enjoyed reading your very accurate depiction of the formation of our school. By the way original funding was from a Rockefeller grant. Sincerely, Paula and Bob Sachs parents of your students, Gigi, Laurie and Carrie and mother-in-law of Glenn and Marc

Thanks for confirming what's becoming a less and less reliable memory! Being at BBHS in those early years is definitely one of those "you had to be there" experiences --- I don't think any of us can totally capture it (in words or pictures)....but it's nice to have the memories confirmed by others! Thanks for reading.
