A Message from the
Head of School:
Dear CES Families,
The Spring Auction and Gala on Friday night was terrific fun! Not only did we raise money for an amazing school, but we enjoyed the company of those in the CES community. This year, we hosted many former faculty and staff members, as well as, alumni parents and a strong contingent of alumni students. It was fun to see the CES students "all grown up," and reminisce about their days at school. There were great stories about ballroom dancing, assuring Mrs. Donna Diamond that they were, indeed, "charming and attractive," and whistling contests among parents to raise money at a past gala. If you were ever in doubt, you should not be now... CES has a rich, vibrant and joyful 50-year history.
After Friday's big event, we have now moved, full-throttle, into making sure that current and prospective parents have all the information they need in order to make a renewed/initial commitment to CES. On Tuesday, the middle school teachers hosted a morning "Jump Up" informational meeting for the parents of rising 5th grade students. Today, we hosted a Jump Up Day for all current families. The goal was to allow current families to see the school in action. The faculty plus these children equals a dynamic and engaging school experience. Several families joined us for our regular chapel service and then moved into classrooms throughout the school. Many more families joined us as the morning progressed. It was fun to have our CES family together in a new and unusual way. There was as much hugging, laughing and talking going on in the hallways as there was listening and observing going on in the classrooms. We enjoyed seeing parents enjoying each other as much as their children and the teachers. In two weeks, we will host one more "Jump Up" event for the parents of rising 7th grade students. This is scheduled to be an evening event when the parents can spend time learning more about the unique nature of 7th and 8th grades.
I hope that you have enjoyed your most recent CES experiences as much as we have enjoyed planning and hosting them. It has been an affirming and reassuring experience for us to step back and reflect on the many treasures, past and present, that come together to make CES what it is today.
With love and gratitude,
Caroline Chapin, Ed.D.
Head of School
