Cheers rang out on the Martha’s Vineyard Public Charter School campus Friday morning, as the school community celebrated its 25th anniversary with a larger-than-usual assembly under a tent on the rain-soaked playing field.
Nothing was easy about pulling off the gathering on such a stormy morning, school director Pete Steedman said, welcoming a crowd that brought together former teachers and some of the Island parents who founded the school a quarter-century ago, along with current students and staff.
“That’s probably how you felt 25 years ago, when you got this school started — nothing was easy,” Mr. Steedman continued, as charter school founders including Paul Karasik, Sidney Morris and Nelia Decker beamed behind their masks.
