A Message From Dr. Ricks
We are thankful for all of the wonderful support that we had at our Gala last Friday! It was great to see you all and visit. Thanks to everyone who helped to make this event a success; whether you donated your time, talent, treasure (or all three), it was very much appreciated. The office is still counting last minute sales and donations, so we will have totals for you within a couple of weeks.
I hope you all are enjoying this good weather! And, as I told the students in Chapel, we only have a few weeks left in the school year, and those will be busy weeks. I encouraged everyone to keep focused on the school work and finish strong... even as excitement increases over summer.
This is often a time of year when our parents become aware of families who may be looking for a new school for their children. Do please encourage your friends to talk to us, and also let Admissions Coordinator Liz McQueen know so she can contact them directly.
With Warm Regards,
Dr. Beth J. Ricks
Head of School
