Alumni Update December 2020
Laura Wright2020-12-27T14:58:05-05:00Alumni Update As 2020 comes to an end, I thought it be a good idea to give you an update on the activities of the Ticonderoga Alumni Association during a year that has been unlike any the world has ever seen. Scholarship Award Program- We met with the Senior Class to explain the award program on March 13th. That was the last day of normal instruction for Ticonderoga students. The school was forced to go virtual for the rest of the 2019-20 school year. The twenty seniors who applied for the award each received either $1000 or $750; the largest individual [...]

Life is what happens to you while you’re busy making other plans.
Laura Wright2020-01-17T10:28:24-05:00To quote John Lennon, “Life is what happens to you while you’re busy making other plans.” It is so easy for life to take over when we aren’t looking. Work, being there for others, and raising a family can really “get in the way” of staying in contact with people over the years. Whether it is trying to drop a letter in the mail, picking up the phone to say hello, or even getting a minute to hit send on a text. It can be a struggle for time. Calendars are a great tool for attempting to manage the little things that get pushed aside. Put 45 minutes to call [...]

Your willingness to serve others is an example for us all and a model for [...]

Staying in touch without “Life” getting in the way
Laura Wright2019-08-09T10:32:36-04:00Some of our "younger" alumni have recently passed away, and it brings to mind the saying "Never get so busy making a living that your forget to make a life." We can get so wrapped up in the day to day things, working multiple jobs to make ends meet, raising kids, mowing the lawn, doing the laundry, making dinner, etc. that we don't take the time to reach out and connect with people we care about. Then, before you know it, they are gone. Now, this is not a blog to depress everyone. On the contrary. This is just a friendly [...]
