This is hard for all of us, whether we are conducting virtual education, virtual administration, or live teaching as many of you, GSFS parents and guardians, are now doing.
Now that we think we know how the school year will end (I do believe in miracles, so I don't want to be too definite), we can and will plan more explicitly for the next two months. We will continue on with our work of ensuring the continuity of our school, as well as our educational and community values. I remain incredibly inspired by our teachers, who have worked so hard to translate that special GSFS feel into a virtual community. From the many middle school clubs and activities that are continuing to meet (including GSAFE, the Gender Action Group, and the cast of the musical) to the extensive catalogue of activities on the lower school landing pages our possibilities for education and community continue to grow.
We have many end-of-school activities and traditions that take place. We have teams that have been convening and brainstorming all the possible modifications or alternatives in recent weeks, and will continue to do so --- graduation, move-up ceremonies, the yearbook, and many more details. We will be in touch as soon as plans come together.
It is interesting to note that with all of these measures we are taking, we will never know whose lives we saved, possibly even our own.
Thank you for your positive resolve, your feedback, and your trust during this challenging time.
Please do not hesitate to contact me with your ideas, thoughts, and concerns.
Thanks again,
