Visit from Proctor Alum, Abbey D'Agostino

Abbey D'Agostino Has GRIT
On Thursday, December 17, Abbey D'Agostino, a Topsfield native and Proctor School alum, spoke to the students at the All School Assembly about GRIT.  Abbey is currently a professional runner for New Balance and an Olympic hopeful in the 5000 meters event.  She connected her journey as a runner to our theme of GRIT. During our time with her, Abbey spoke about how she handles the pressure of the training and races and the recovery from an injury with her focus on RESILIENCE and GUTS.  She shared the power of INNOVATION when trying something new in her training routine and why TEAMWORK is essential to her success. Thank you to Abbey!  And Thank you, Mrs. Feltault for organizing Abbey's visit!  She was truly inspiring!
