Billy's Blog: From the Head of School
|
|
“In the summer, the days were long stretching into each other. Out of school, everything was on pause and yet happening at the same time, this collection of weeks when anything was possible.” -- Sarah Dessen
Summer-so full of possibility. Children, and parents for that matter, look forward to the end of school and the June, July, and most-of-August break when they can do a variety of non-school related activities, ranging from going to camp to family vacations to just lazing around outside. However, as we all know, this summer is different. Camps are closed, we don’t know if public pools will open, and travel will be circumscribed at best.
So, how do we make it through the next few months and maintain our sanity?

A message from Victoria Shum Bush, Alumni Council President
|
Dear Keystone Alumni,
We hope you are safe and healthy, and in good spirits.
As we move forward in these uncertain times, it’s vital that we maintain and strengthen our sense of community. These days, we weave the tapestry of our community through online platforms, and we are always searching for ways to make our efforts more effective.
To do this, we are consolidating our activities online and moving the bulk of our alumni communication to social media platforms and email messaging. In the coming months, we will launch a new phase of Keystone’s Alumni Association and build a stronger professional network that brings together Keystone alumni from all over the world. We can’t wait to share our announcements of our new initiatives!
In the meantime, if you need to reach a member of the alumni community please contact Director of Development and Alumni Relations Adriana Villafranca at
