Our first graders hosted their families today for Poetry, Prayers, and Pies! Students shared sweet Thanksgiving-themed poetry and celebrated with some truly delicious pies. What a warm and joyful way to begin the season of gratitude!
I’ll admit that I’m not always successful but I do try to live a life of continuous improvement. I want to strive to be better each day. I want to strive to always be the best version of myself. This requires a little bit of reflecting on who I am, but it requires a lot of vision toward who I want to become.
One part of my role as Head of Lower School is to work on Inspiration. I speak to the students each day at the close of Chapel. I send a message to the faculty/staff each week. The messages vary from day to day and week to week, but I do try to instill a little bit of inspiration. People want to hear about what they are doing well and we all can use a little boost once in a while. This is where my thinking about mirrors and windows comes into play.
The mirror gives us a reflection. That reflection is of the present. That person we see in the mirror represents who we are. Yes, we should look at that mirror. We should look at that person who is looking back at us. That reflection is the person of today. The person of now.
The window is a means toward seeing the vision of the future. Who is it that we want to become? What do we see through that window of ourselves that is an improvement upon today?
Each evening we can look in the mirror and see who we are.
Each morning we can look through the window and envision who we want to become.
The Exposición de Arte and Mercado in the atrium was a wonderful success. Thank you to the Spanish and Art faculty for their dedication in organizing, hanging, and displaying the art. The amazing students' creativity and hard work in producing such meaningful art brought the exhibit and marketplace to life.
