Scarlett, who is the school counselor at Bellows Falls Central Elementary School, served as Kurn Hattin’s director of counseling from 1999 to 2006. In addition, his New Jersey-based family have  had an interest in Kurn Hattin’s programming for several generations.

Scarlett says he is pleased to be able to carry on the tradition of supporting the non-profit school for children in need. “Having grown up hearing about Kurn Hattin from my parents and grandparents when I was young, it was an honor to eventually work there, and it’s an honor to be a part of the Board now,” said Scarlett. “I’m proud of the work Kurn Hattin does to make a difference in young people’s lives.” Kurn Hattin’s co-executive director Connie Sanderson said, “It is such a pleasure to have Bill on our board. He brings a special knowledge of the
types of children we serve, which will help to guide us as we move forward.”
