Dear CSS Families,
I would like to take this opportunity to say how grateful I have been to be in partnership with you and to support the amazing students in the Upper School at CSS. I have loved getting to know them; supporting their education has been my honor.
It has been a privilege and I will miss seeing them daily in the halls and classrooms of El Pomar. I would also like to give a very special farewell to the Class of 2023. I loved getting to know them last year as they hung out in their lounge outside of my office. I could not be more proud of them as we plan their Commencement ceremony. Your Upper School journey was marked so significantly by COVID, but you did not let it define your journey, and that gives me so much hope for the beautiful future you will build for yourself, and also for the world you will contribute to shaping.
I am so grateful that this year has been a “normal” year, so you could add to your memories of a normal year! As you go out into the world on your next great adventure I would like to send you forth from CSS with Sue Monk Kidd’s charge, "Go make your big beautiful dent, and as you do so come down on the side of boldness. If you err, may it be for too much audacity, and not too little. For you really are enough. You have untold strengths and resources inside. You have your glorious self."
I would also like to take this opportunity to thank the faculty at CSS. Each and every one of them embodies excellence, and I have learned so much from them. They are dedicated to ensuring that the students at CSS have the very best possible education every day. If you have a spare moment in the madness of May, I encourage you to reach out to a teacher who has made an impact and tell them what that impact is. I promise it will make their day!
