Today’s newsletter will be a relatively brief effort, as I try to squeeze it in while also […]

Rainy Days at Pemi

Full Session Considerations
Which session should I choose? A common question that both returning families as well as new families ask during the winter months.

Hello Pemi Family! Over the last couple weeks, the Pemi team has been fortunate enough to enjoy alumni gatherings in New York City and Boston, where we caught up with a large number of alumni who had been at Pemi as recently as 2024 and as long ago as 1952. We love any opportunity to […]
What Is Bean Soup?
What is Bean Soup? If you have any connection to Pemi, chances are you know the answer; if you’re brand new to the community, you’re almost certainly scratching your head and saying “Huh?” Bean Soup is one of Pemi’s oldest and most cherished traditions, dating back to the summer of 1910, meaning that 2025’s serving […]
