Head's Notebook - Our Children Embody Our Hope

In these discouraging moments, I found solace in knowing that I belong to a school community that is centered around shared values and a common purpose. Although the world around us may be in turmoil, and so many things seem out of our control, we have the opportunity – and the responsibility – to nurture our children’s growth into kind, respectful people who will make a positive difference. This is a profoundly optimistic and encouraging endeavor. 

While none of us knows what lies ahead, we can have great confidence in the strength of the Fay community and, most  important, in the potential for our children to create a better world. With gratitude and humility, I ask that each of us reaffirm our commitment to modeling care and concern; that we rededicate ourselves to guiding and supporting children’s development of empathy and compassion; and that we continue to work together to sustain an intentional school community that is grounded in respect for the dignity of others.
