From Todd:

I apologize for the rather short update today. The preparations and the excitement of our first Grandparent and Special Friends Day in three years took a lot out of the office this week. That said, it was an amazing day, and I was overwhelmingly proud of every student performer and presenter. These events should always be a showcase for the students, and they surpassed our expectations yet again. There is no official record, but I would be surprised if there has ever been more families and friends for this event in the history of the school.

Above all else, thank you for coming out and showing your support for these amazing students and for this special community. In the season of gratitude, there is no question that the support we felt today during the performance is something that we are all grateful to be a part of, and we have you to thank for that.

Proudly,

Todd Eveleth

Head of School
