Rotenberg School.  Originally located in North Chelmsford, and relocated in 2006 to Westborough, the program has served over 1,000 young women throughout the thirty years. Named as a memorial to Fay A. Rotenberg (1912-1981) for her devoted commitment and supporter of the RFK Children’s Action Corps during its first thirteen years, the program was dedicated in 1982. Former graduates of the program have gone on to graduate college, become involved in their communities and have come back to act as role models for those currently in the program.</p> <p>The Rotenberg School is the longest running and currently the only long-term treatment facility for adolescent females in the state.  To celebrate “30 Years of Service to Young Women” throughout 2012 we will take a look at how the program has evolved since its inception, share the journeys and successes of our former and current clients.  We will also celebrate and acknowledge the work of our dedicated staff and hope we will have a chance to connect and re-connect with former colleagues. </p> <p>Program Director, Mary Harte, who has dedicated 26 years to the program (13 as Program Director) announced a year-long speaker series to commemorate the occasion, “to kick off our celebration we are launching a year-long monthly speaker series.  The girls in our care have provided input to this series and guest speakers will include many members of the Westborough community who will share their stories as well as their area of expertise. We are all extremely excited for the year ahead.”  </p> <p>The girls are especially eager for the first speaker, Wendy Wunder.  Ms. Wunder is a local author who recently released her debut novel, “The Probability of Miracles”.  The girls were thrilled to receive copies of the book to read before her visit.</p> <p>Additionally the program plans to host a rededication ceremony in April to honor its name sake, Fay A. Rotenberg, and to celebrate the wonderful work of the program.</p> <p>Please join our year long celebration and follow our stories in the Newsroom, on Facebook and on our YouTube Channel. We look forward to sharing more details about the April celebration soon. <em></em></p> </div> <footer> </footer> <nav class="post-nav"> <ul class="layout"> <li class="layout__item m-6-12 previous">«
