A Message from the Head of School
Dear MPH Community,
There is never a more “full and rich” period in the school year than the days and weeks preceding Commencement, when culminating experiences and year-end events fill our calendars. With this in mind, we’ve decided to revive the
Week Ahead
, our communication that previews coming attractions and makes for a fitting counterpart to
Snapshot
, which highlights recent special moments in school life.
Monday (June 1) begins the final week of the school year, and wow, we’ve been through a lot! In a conversation during a meeting of all employees earlier this week, we reminded ourselves, especially during periods of high energy and full schedules, to focus on “first things, first.” Certainly, the guiding light for our thoughts, words, and actions should be the MPH mission, our dedication to students and families, and our commitment to ensuring a successful conclusion to the 2019/2020 school year. In order to achieve these goals, however, we must first attend to our own health and wellness, striking a balance with all aspects of life, which will, in turn, contribute to our effectiveness.
In that spirit, I extend best wishes to all members of the MPH community for continued safety and good health. Enjoy a restorative weekend with plenty of rest, fresh air, exercise, and the chance the engage in those activities that feed your soul. We all look forward to next week’s events, with special attention paid to our graduates in the Class of 2020.
All the best,
Dave McCusker
Head of School
