Tess Marini-Rapoport scored her first 2 points of the season, with Corrine Laird, Ruby Chase, Celeste DiLeo, and Eliza Bigelow (her first too!) pitching in a goal apiece. The defense played extremely well and kept most of the action on the Center School's half with Ruby Chase and Juliet Corwin playing well in goal. The girls practiced excellent sportsmanship and team spirit in their last JV game of the season.

CORNUCOPIA AUCTION HIGHLIGHT

There are only a couple of weeks left until the Cornucopia Auction on Saturday, November 12!

This week we highlight the work of Ann Parker who has donated one of her fabulous photograms, "Nasturtium Blossoms and Leaves". This one-of-a-kind image was created by the artist using a process that she pioneered in the 1980s. Her unique photograms were the focus of a one woman show by the artist at The Worcester Art Museum.

Ann is the author of multiple photographic books and her work is found in the permanent collection of many major museums. Represented by the Bell Gallery in Manhattan, her show last spring resulted in her work being purchased by the Metropolitan Museum of Art, The New York Public Library, the Wellesley College Museum, and The Philadelphia Museum of Art among others.

This photogram itself is 24” x 20”; matted and framed dimensions are 35” x 30.” The gallery price is $2,500, minimum bid is $1,200.
