Clark Art Screens the 'Neverending Story'

Print Story | Email Story
WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. — On Thursday, March 7, the Clark Art Institute hosts a free screening of the 1984 film "The NeverEnding Story" as part of the Williamstown Public Library 150th Anniversary Film Series. 
 
The Clark shows the film at 6 pm in its auditorium, located in the Manton Research Center.
 
According to a press release:
 
Wolfgang Peterson's classic film celebrates the way that books allow you to build worlds around yourself. When Bastian ducks into a book to avoid school bullies, he finds himself saddled with a great responsibility. As he imagines himself the hero of the story, reading becomes an engine for maturation and growth.
 
In celebration of the sesquicentennial of the Williamstown Library, this film series explores the transformative power of reading. The next film screening in the Williamstown Public Library 150th Anniversary Film Series is The Princess Bride on March 14 at 6 pm.
 
Free. Accessible seats available; for information, call 413 549 0524.

Teacher of the Month: Frani Miceli

By Sabrina DammsiBerkshires Staff

Students say teacher Frani Miceli makes learning fun.  
WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. — Williamstown Elementary School fifth-grade teacher Frani Miceli has been selected as the July Teacher of the Month. 
 
The Teacher of the Month series, in collaboration with Berkshire Community College, will run for the next 12 months and will feature distinguished teachers nominated by community members. You can nominate a teacher here. 
 
Miceli has been teaching for 26 years and has worked to develop a happy, comfortable, and creative learning environment for her pupils.
 
Through her connection with her students and the decor on her classroom walls, Miceli hopes to help them realize that being kind is possible. 
 
"I have a thing on my wall that says, 'Character is what you do when no one is watching.' So, I hope that they have internalized that," Miceli said. 
 
"We make personal decisions because it's the right thing to do, and sometimes our actions can negatively impact other people, and sometimes they can positively impact other people. So I think happy kids make happy choices, and so I just want them to be happy, engaged children"
 
Every single one of her students in her morning math class jumped at the opportunity to praise their  teacher.
