Graduation is always a bittersweet occasion. It's exhilarating and exciting to see our 8th graders heading off to high school, but it's sad to realize that they're gone and they won't be back except as visitors. They leave a void, to be sure, but as nature abhors a vacuum, there are the 7th graders, ready, willing and able to step up to the challenge and take their place as the next leaders of the school. At the other end of the spectrum, when the new class of preschoolers start arriving in September, we rejoice to see the cycle begin again.
In this E-News, you can read about where our recent grads are heading, as well as the destinations and plans for our Class of 2014.
Enjoy your summer!
