The energy of the holiday season is electric on campus. Our students have been buzzing with excitement, and the halls are filled with school spirit; theme days, ugly sweaters, and special assemblies highlighting our favorite traditions are bringing everyone together in the best ways.

Yesterday, seventy zealous Kindergarteners traversed campus looking for their lost Gingerbread Man. Each time they received a clue, they were dashing off to the next location. Their hunt led to me, and I had the great pleasure of telling them that while they had just missed the devious cookie, he was running back to their classrooms to meet him. You cannot duplicate the joy and energy that was bursting out of my tiny office. 

Today, I donned an engineer’s cap and whistle to conduct the 2nd grade “Polar Express”. There is tender sweetness to seeing these nine and ten year olds march down the tracks in their festive pajamas. 

Of course, the energy at the Middle and Upper schools was slightly tempered as these scholars prepare for their mid-term exams next week; but they still found time to host festive assemblies and exchange gifts in their advisory groups. 

Wishing you a holiday season filled with joy and love (and gingerbread cookies that stay on your plate!).
