Letter From the Upper School Division Head

Stefanie Rivera

Dear Class of '20 Families,   It is with a mixture of feelings that I reach out to you today with a few updates on Graduation. I am definitely excited for our Graduates and the milestone this ceremony represents. I am also deeply sad that we cannot celebrate them as we want to; in person, in our gymnasium, with a fabulous ceremony where we see one another up close.     I know some of you have had questions, and hopefully they will be answered below. We are doing our best to make this event as special as possible for our amazing Seniors, who are missing out on so many things! Obviously, we will not be having our usual Senior breakfast and Graduation practice. However, we have come up with something fun...
