I am truly grateful for all that you are doing to support and raise such wonderful young adults. We are so happy to partner with you this year (and always!) to help your children reach their fullest potential. Our core values of Scholarship, Empathy, Creativity, and Responsibility are echoed in our hallways and classrooms by your children's actions and for that we are enormously thankful.

Looking forward to celebrating Thanksgiving with your kids next week and hoping those of you who are able to join us for our Thanksgiving Feast, stop by! It's the absolute very best most wonderful day of the whole year! Check out details below!

Warmly,

Sarah Kaplan

Principal

Every year we mark this holiday with our Thanksgiving Feast, a day of celebration that allows our entire community to come together, celebrate, show gratitude and EAT! We share traditional Thanksgiving foods as well as the types of foods we all celebrate with within our families and communities outside of school. Samosa, callaloo, and latkes grace our tables alongside turkey, stuffing and macaroni and cheese for the day. Family is welcome to join us; please RSVP here if you plan to attend.
