We are off to an excellent start in the 2011-2012 school year! It is only September 6, but we have already had three full days of school, multiple assemblies, and a parents' night (5th grade, this evening). The excitement of the first day of school has transformed into a seriousness of purpose. Don't get me wrong--the enthusiasm is still evident--but we are now into the routine of classes. Middle School interscholastic sports begin tomorrow, and Lower School clubs commence next week. Please enjoy some pictures below from my travels around campus today. In the final photo, you can see the "character pillars" developed by our Wellness Committee last school year and painted onto prominent spaces in our main Middle School hallway. "Respect" and "Compassion" are readable in the photo; harder to see are "Responsibility" and "Honor."
