A surefire sign that the end of the year is approaching is the chiming of the bells in the Library Quad. On Monday the Bryn Mawr Class of 2023 will celebrate Bell Ringing before they start Senior Projects on Tuesday, inching closer to their commencement. I want to SHOUT THE LOVE for BMS 2023; they have been fabulous leaders and we will miss them so much! Elsewhere in the school, students wrap up the end of the year with field trips, project presentations, theme celebrations, exams and post-season sports. And of course, we are still riding the beautiful energy of a perfect weather Maypole/Gym Drill/Bazaar/AlumnaeWeekend celebrations! We look forward to welcoming family and friends to our Fifth Grade Closing Assembly, Eighth Grade Closing Convocation and Commencement in the coming weeks, and seeing the rest of you at year-end celebrations for your children.



Cheers, 

Sue
