A week before new students arrive to launch new lives at a new school, faculty are coming together to share stories from summer adventures, and get down to meetings.
Our agenda includes new faculty introductions, minor policy changes, lots of Orientation details, and the exciting prospect of adopting an Environmental Mission Statement that may frame and inspire our practices forever! Readers of this site will learn much more about this initiative over the months to come. Below, Environmental Education Coordinator Alan McIntyre guides faculty discussion of this topic.
One of many causes for excitement as we anticipate the school year is high quality student leadership, starting with these guys: School Leader Duncan Sullivan and Assistant
Danny Loehr.
