News from the Lower School

Week of Feb. 5

Happy Fri-Yay LS Families,

What a delightful experience it was to celebrate the 100th day of school with our "old" scholars.  Despite their age, the brought an incredible amount of energy and fun to the celebration, proving that the spirit of learning has no age limit.  Their enthusiasm for learning served as a wonderful example of what it means to be a lifelong learner!

As we turn to the month of February, we begin to celebrate Black History Month.  Throughout the month, our students will engage in activities and experiences that aim to deepen their understanding of and celebrate the remarkable accomplishments and contributions made by people of African descent, both in this country and around the world.  Fostering awareness and appreciation for diversity is integral to creating a rich and inclusive learning environment for our students. We look forward to a month filled with meaningful learning experiences that honor the legacy of black history. Thank you for your continued support, and let us all embrace the opportunities this month brings to learn, grow, and celebrate together!  

With Gratitude,

Jonathan
