Every year in November we are invited to reflect on gratitude. Having this space on the calendar prompts us to do what we otherwise might not do, and pause to think about what we appreciate and are thankful for. On November 25, we celebrated our annual Harvest Feast in which the entire school community shares a delicious and festive meal. This is one way we invite our students and staff to think about and celebrate what we are grateful for. This year the food for our feast was provided to us by Trinity Church. We thank them for their generosity. This is also a great time to reflect on all have accomplished in our classrooms so far in this busy and productive Fall! We were so excited to welcome all of you to our Celebrations of Learning. We were delighted to see you in classrooms where you could engage with your children's work in a meaningful way. As guided by the IB themes, every class presented thoughtful and authentic work that students produced as they learned about a topic in depth. Teachers worked very hard with students to prepare lessons and experiences that would invite students to inquire and ultimately take action using their newfound knowledge. Make sure to join us for our Winter Concert on Thursday, December 19th for another opportunity to appreciate and celebrate the amazing work of our students!
As the year comes to a close, I want to thank you for your ongoing support and partnership in making this school year such a positive experience for our students. December is a wonderful time to celebrate our accomplishments and reflect on the growth we’ve seen in our students, both academically and personally. This month, our classrooms are filled with excitement and learning, and we’re emphasizing the values of kindness, giving, and community. We hope you will join us in reinforcing these important lessons at home. Together, let’s keep nurturing a caring and respectful school environment that helps each child feel valued and inspired. Wishing you and your family a joyous holiday season and a Happy New Year!
