In the spirit of the holiday season, I have been contemplating the reasons for which I am grateful:
- The unending commitment and dedication of the Trinity-Pawling School faculty and staff
- For students and faculty who are willing to try new things in order to learn and to grow
- For the “scrappiness” of the Trinity-Pawling School community
- For the spirit of kindness that provides hope for the future
- For bad puns at family-style lunch that bring laughter and joy to the afternoon
- For better coffee and hot chocolate at the Pride Perch in the newly refurbished Gardiner Library and Learning Commons
- For the restoration of All Saints’ Chapel
- For the opportunities to learn and grow from misguided decisions
- For the transformational difference that happens all the time at Trinity-Pawling School when students discover their gifts and talents
- For the dedication and hard work of the Maintenance and Housekeeping Teams that bring beauty to the Trinity-Pawling School campus
- For the opportunity to create synergy between tradition and innovation to advance student learning and growth
- For the opportunities to help boys learn and grow amidst times of challenges for boys and men
- For the countless alumni and friends of the School that help steward the School’s growth into the future
- For the trust, support, and partnerships of parents and families
- For bright, inquisitive students who want to learn and grow
