A Note of Gratitude from Mrs. Earls
It has been one of the great privileges of my professional life to serve as Head of School at Academy Hill for the past 6 years. My family's relationship with this extraordinary institution began 10 years ago, when our daughter joined Ms. D's fifth grade classroom for the third trimester. My husband and I were instantly impressed by the warm welcome our family received, and the outstanding educational experience Emma enjoyed from her very first moments in the classroom. Our love for the school only grew over the next few years. As Emma prepared to graduate and move on, I was presented with the opportunity to join this family as its next Head of School. I cannot describe how thrilled I was to receive that call. To lead a community of committed, creative and consummately dedicated teachers and learners is a dream for any educator. And to have my dream realized through an opportunity to be a member of a team I had already cultivated such deep respect and appreciation for was a gift.

Whether assuming instructional duties, reading bedtime stories on Thursday nights, or accompanying students to Washington and Boston, my journey has been one of joy, marked by authentic love for this uniquely special school and its incomparably talented people. I thank you all for allowing me to walk beside you for the past ten years.

You will remain in my heart and on my mind,
Melissa Earls, P'16

The Travelers chose to demonstrate a game based on class favorite, Wayside School, while the Explorers model a game after The Year of Miss Agnes.
The Trailblazers celebrate empathy with a game based on Wonder; The Grade 6 Scholars read the Phantom Tollbooth this year, and created a game based on its characters and story.
