Dear Archway Families,
With my staff all attending training on Zoom this week, we are back in full swing. Although it is not the same as having everyone on campus, we are inspired.
We had some incredible guest speakers: Mr. David Denton, Founding ANP Headmaster, Mr. Jack Kersing, Headmaster at Archway Glendale, and Jake Tawney, Head of Academics- as well as some of our ANP Faculty members. I delighted in hearing so many inspirational messages this week.
Each speech had a common thread woven into its message—the central role of love in community. We were reminded that scholars need to be heard, loved, and respected, and if this is shown in the most authentic form, we will be worthy of being honored and obeyed. For it makes it hard not to respect someone that respects you, not to love someone that loves you and not to hear someone that hears you. We should examine our own output before we judge another's input. I believe this message rings true for not only the student-teacher relationship, but it is valid for all relationships.

Each morning before I walk out the door, I am reminded of this message. I have a sign that a parent made me hanging on the wall. It has my life's purpose written on it.
We can't wait to hear, love and respect you and your scholar.
See you at Meet the Teacher!
Love Fearlessly,
