Greetings and Happy Last Week of the School Year!

 

Welcome, Colin Van Duyne - the newest addition to the Faculty Kids Club.  Congratulations to Teacher Thomas, his wife Megan and Big Sister Gwen on the arrival of Colin who was born Friday, May15.

 

 

BEHIND THE SCENES:

One of my very most cherished annual moments happened last week - my time with the seniors when they read their graduation speeches to each other.  It never fails to be a poignant gathering and one can sense the reality of where we are in time and space wash over the soon-to-be alums.  This year was especially touching - there were a lot of tears- for all of us.  I was also struck by how even in this group of young people, many of whom have known each other for a decade or more, these heartfelt words of farewell opened new vistas to understanding each other. We are excited to share these special messages with you at Friday’s graduation ceremony.
