During this season of Thanksgiving, I have pondered those things for which this Headmaster is grateful.
I am grateful for the opportunity to begin each school year anew.
I am grateful for the many ways that I learn from students and faculty.
I am grateful for the “can-do” spirit of students, faculty, coaches, and dormitory masters.
I am grateful for the trust of parents who have elected to send their son to Trinity-Pawling.
I am grateful for the support and fellowship of loyal alumni.
I am grateful for the vibrancy of new faculty who are beginning their career.
I am grateful to work at a school like Trinity-Pawling, where making meaningful differences in the lives of young men is our daily charge and where education is our life’s work and calling.
I am grateful for the good sense of humor and positive attitude of those around me.
I am grateful to those students who greet me each day and thank me after class, unaware of just how energizing those acts can be.
I am grateful when I see “old boys” helping “new boys” navigate the challenges of boarding school life.
I am grateful for the Trinity-Pawling faculty who consistently go the extra mile to help students grow and work toward their potential.
I am grateful to all those who work to “plant trees, under whose shade you do not expect to sit.”
