In the coming weeks we will acknowledge many of our Upper School and Middle School students for their academic, athletics, arts and service achievements. We will be proud to recognize the students who have met the high standards of the faculty and school.
Many of the most important achievements will be recognized in very personal and often private conversations between a child and a teacher or a child and a parent/guardian. The teachers and parents know the children who have made amazing progress in some area of development. Reading at a higher level, jumping ahead in math, improvement in writing skills, increased confidence to speak up, improved organizational skills, development of a passion in coding or robotics and focused work on a problem or research topic represent achievements with lifelong implications.
Not everyone can break a record, but everyone can improve. I join with faculty and parents in celebrating the achievements and improvements demonstrated by students of all ages.
Cheers,
