Mead Mentioned in The Advocate's Henson Family Feature

We are delighted to be mentioned in a Stamford Advocate article this week that features the Henson family and their ties to Connecticut, their innovation in film, television, and puppetry, as well as their passion for a deeper exploration of education.

Jim and Jane Henson were founding parents of The Mead School. Jane was an assistant art teacher, and all five Henson children attended Mead. The Jane Henson Foundation continues to support the school to this day. The Greenwich Historical Society reached out to Mead for assistance with their 2017 exhibit, "Jim and Jane Henson: Creative Work, Creative Play". Mead was honored to be included in this exhibit, which showcased the Hensons’ personal and professional lives.
