It has been quite a week of activity on campus! On Monday, I hosted the 8th Annual Head Master's Inn in my office, which is our equivalent of a holiday party for employees. During the course of the day, close to 100 employees stopped by my office for fellowship, food, and cheer. The Middle School held a day of holiday festivities last Friday (December 9) before returning to exam review on Monday and Tuesday and then three days of exams to conclude the week and the calendar year. The Middle School students can now head into winter break with exams behind them. Their teachers, however, have some grading to do! On the Lower School side of campus, I remained very impressed with the focus of the students during the course of the week. Monday through Wednesday were essentially normal days, with some class parties beginning yesterday. Today, the Lower Schoolers are dressed in red and green holiday attire, and they will gather for a sing-a-long later this morning before heading home at 12:15 P.M. for a two-week vacation. School resumes on Tuesday, January 3. Best wishes to my readers for a joyous, safe, and blessed holiday season! This will likely be my final posting until 2012, so let me also wish everyone a Happy New Year!
