A YEAR LIKE NO OTHER

The essential message of this year’s Aerie is about resilience and innovation in the face of a global pandemic.

When we closed campus and moved to remote learning in March of 2020, the Lincoln Academy community immediately jumped into action to ensure that all students had access to the food and technology they needed to continue learning.

This fall’s return to school is notable for the sheer volume of work invested in delivering an excellent education in a hybrid format. Teachers worked all summer to retool their classes. Maintenance and custodial teams inventoried, reorganized, and cleaned every space to make the school safe for in-person learning. The administrative team planned, tested, scrapped, and planned again to prepare for every contingency. Dozens of people played their part, but without the work of a few in particular, we could not have opened campus for hybrid learning in the fall of 2020.

Kelley Duffy, Director of Curriculum and Instruction, led the academic fall planning teams with creativity and an unstop- pable work ethic. Her husband Eric Duffy RN, Director of the LA Health Center, took on current public health challeng- es with an ingenious combination of caution and optimism. Wendy Corlett, Chief Financial Officer, Cathy Alexander, Custodial Manager, and Bill Teele, Director of Facilities, led the facilities team in assessing risks and transforming campus. Board Chair Judi Hilton and Head of School Jeff Burroughs maintained the vision and presence of mind that every day students could be on campus this fall was a victory, and each victory depended on delicately balancing educational goals with safety measures.

We hope that the stories in this magazine reflect the resilience and innovation that Lincoln Academy has achieved in 2020. From Holly Martin ‘09’s circumnavigation of the globe, to George Weston ‘38’s 100th birthday, to reinventing teaching and learning, Lincoln Academy's can-do spirit has prevailed in this historic year.

Like everything else in 2020, producing a magazine this year has not been straightforward, but we are grateful for a forum to share the stories and images in these pages, and we hope readers will come away with a sense of optimism in what a small group of dedicated people can accomplish in the face of staggering odds.

Early March, 2020. Newcastle, Maine. Life seems pretty normal at Lincoln Academy. Winter sports had wrapped up and students and teachers were preparing for the end of the trimester. Even as cases of COVID-19 were re- ported throughout the country, Maine seemed relatively safe. Then, there was a nearby case, and another case. The NBA canceled their season. Cities around the country began shutting down. There was talk of the strain on small rural hospitals. Concern grew in Lincoln County, and local schools, including LA, had decisions to make.

June. The question reverberates around the world: how to celebrate graduation during a pandemic? Remarkable creativity went into solving this unique problem: schools used video, car parades, race tracks, fair grounds, and drive-in movie theaters.

Lincoln Academy decides to combine a drive-up model with ten mini in-person diploma presentations, staggering the Class of 2020 by advisor group. Each group was assigned a time to meet at St. Patrick's Church, have their family photos taken, and line up in a caravan to drive to LA.

24 LINCOLN ACADEMY AERIE FALL 2020 25 We Are LA Family And we'll be together again soon!

As part of the 2020 Alumni Class Challenge the Alumni Office kicked off a series called #weareLA- family, and took photos of multi-generation LA families. The series was very well-recieved by our alumni family, and we look forward to continuing it once we can gather again. In these posts from the LA Instagram feed, current family photos were paired with yearbook photos of parents and grandparents who attended LA.

Are you part of a multigenerational LA family? Let us know! We would love to include you in the next round of the series.
